Clint Eastwood’s legacy as one of the all-time great actors and directors was cemented a long time ago.
It actually beggars belief that the Dirty Harry star is still active in the entertainment industry today, aged 93, with fans eagerly awaiting his upcoming Juror No. 2. Reports insist that the flick will mark the final professional project of Eastwood’s long and storied career, after which he can settle down and enjoy a well-deserved retirement.
These days the aging icon isn’t seen all that often, which is perhaps why a recent video of him sparked so much reaction from people. As per reports, the 93-year-old stepped out at a recent event and cut a different figure to that many are used to. Some quarters of the public even labeled him “unrecognizable”.
Hear the words Clint Eastwood and you’ll likely conjure an image of a strapping man with a brooding stare, well over six-foot-tall in height. Yet Father Time comes for us all, and the days wherein Clint was racing around the desert after bandits, or asking bad guys if they felt lucky, punk, are now resigned to history.
Watching our favorite celebrities grow old can often be a strange thing to witness. Perhaps it’s because we see them steadily aging with every role, maybe it’s just because it reminds of us of our own mortality.
In any case, a recent sighting of Clint Eastwood certainly caused a stir after he attended a speaking event hosted by conversationist and primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall.

The event reportedly took place just a few weeks shy of Clint Eastwood’s 94th birthday. The location was the Sunset Cultural Center in Carmel-by-the-Sea, the city where Eastwood used to be mayor.
The legendary actor stepped out in a blue checkered flannel shirt, with gray slacks and sneakers, with long white hair and a bushy white beard.
Now, we hardly feel the need to say that Eastwood actually looking his age is nothing shocking, but there were a deal of people online who were taken back by the actor’s frail appearance.
