Clint Eastwood has been directing himself and others longer than many of his colleagues have been alive. If he walks a little slower on-screen, he’s entitled.
Given that it is an Eastwood film, “Cry Macho” features a certain amount of action and jeopardy, including the actor throwing a punch and getting on a horse for the first time since “Unforgiven” three decades ago.“The wrangler was worried. She was saying, ‘Be careful, be careful now.’ She was scared I’d end up on my rear end,” Eastwood remembers. “But if you treat the horse like a buddy, he’ll take care of you.
It’s a mark of how different “Cry Macho” is from business as usual for Eastwood that an incident the director highlights in the filming involves not a stunt or an action set piece but the situation around a little girl who’d been cast as the granddaughter of one of the main characters, only to get bumped because she tested positive for COVID-19.
Clint Eastwood’s latest project as an actor and director, “Cry Macho,” follows the release of 2018’s “The Mule,” which he also starred in and directed, and 2019’s “Richard Jewell.” As to future projects, Eastwood admits, “I don’t have anything percolating at the moment,” but adds “I didn’t have anything percolating before this one. If something comes along where the story itself, the telling of it, is fun, I’m open to it.”
Is he still talking to chairs?
He's been my manly man for a long long time.
Great movie!!
We just watched it. Clint never disappoints as an actor or director. I loved it. God bless Clint!
Sadly the movie was boring, and the story was proof that entitled white dudes can make any plot they want be about a great white hero. There are septuagenarians who still believe that this is what it was like when the world made sense, but this movie is for them, not me.
It's like watching a Disney movie from 30yrs ago I get he is 91 but acting is at best average and the kid acting is worse..
Clint’s penchant to hire inexperienced actors or non actors for major roles in his movies just doesn’t work for me. It’s cringey. And this movie was hard to watch Clint because he seemed especially frail.
Great article. The guys a national treasure.
the film's crest fallen, sloped shouldered aesthetic is majestic.
Holy shit, I knew he was old, but 91?
He’s become a disappointment
New movies is great! All his movies are great
Brave journalism there with 'perhaps.' Wouldn't want to work too hard!
Ageist
Good for him, great that he can still act and direct. Why not?
Is old people just sit in our rocking chair and shut up? You could learn something from a old person
Perhaps? The LA Times doesn’t know?
NeerajaKona Why does he look like Hosea to me? RedDeadRedemption2 RockstarGames
It's all the marijuana he uses. It will keep him going for another two decades. :-)
LA times. Proving to be the racists, everyone knew they really were.
I always said he is the best movie star I watch all his movies since I young
Woah! A old man whos never worked a real day in his life is still going at it?! So inspiring!!!!
Go Clint Go! Live your best life!
So it’s a fantasy comedy? If a 91 year old hit me, they’d probably hurt themselves.
Yep it does seem a lifetime away since I was sat with my dad watching Rowdy Yates in Rawhide on TV in black and white here in England 😱👍😉
Client Eastwood is immortal. He’s the spirit of the desert.
Love him or hate him, you have to respect the man.
He's still got it! ❤️
you make my Day ,Ride them Cowboy Love you to Bits Clint 🤠🤠🤠
If Clint is still strong at 91 than chuck norris should make a comeback show
the mule THE MULE
One of his best ever stories is when Muhammad Ali took him somewhere where they were alone and asked him to do the line from Dirty Harry, the “Do you feel lucky punk”. I guess Ali didn’t like that part of Dirty Harry where Clint stands over the black bank robber.
denisepottssafc Legend 👍
Outlaw Josey Wales is the best film in cinematic history IMHO.
You nearly age me a heart attack, mate. I thought you'd gone.
What a legend he is
May God bless this man x91 times for such inspiration! Mind over matter, friends✌️❤️🌎
He may be 91, but if he narrowed his eyes and said, “Get off my lawn” to ME, I’d still be running as fast as I could in the opposite direction. Keep on keepin’ on, Clint!
Legend 😍
🥱 YAWN.
God bless America and Eastwood.
Kitten2402 So Firefox Down is still on then?
Isn’t that the “chair whisperer?” GOPhuckyourself
ReneeMonroe17 Hello pretty face
No, I was just fooling around. It sounds like a good movie. Congratulations and continued success.
Eastwood, this was supposed to be a wholesome, family movie. It was supposed to be a movie about a boy and his horse. Directing Eastwood is like sitting on cactus.
Best for me 🙌🙌🙌
Clint Eastwood Is Actually Older than God😳
Awesome great actor ever.
chefrocky413 I used to be an Eastwood fan. His politics have soured my view of him as a person.
I don't care. He takes himself too literally. He attempts to embody the sum of all his characters. It gets old. If I wanted to see a grumpy old ass hole I have plenty of relatives I could hit up for that not pay his ass by seeing any of his movies.
Don’t you guys have Aged Pensions in USA?
Greatest and best director alive! period.
I had no idea he was 91
Why not! He can punch 🤜 till 💯 it’s his choice ! Bravo, keep it up Clint 🎉 👍👏👏
Keep busy 👍🏻
I admire this guy. His career best movie 'the good the bad and the ugly 'never gets old. One of the greatest westerns I have ever seen. He is a badass. A masterpiece that lives forever. clinteastwood
Wow!
Cool take, Clint. I hope you cast a love interest who is in her 90s for the same reason.
Clint Eastwood is immortal
I rate Clint Eastwood as one of the finest director & story teller Hollywood has produced. Must have seen most of the movies he has directed or acted.
They used a slowed down version of Gabriel's Oboe by Ennio Morricone, in the trailer:
Definitely did not need that punch in the movie lol.
michaeljknowles This man is a national treasure!
The good, The bad and the ugly
Inspiring 🙂
Yes, they used the same FX to bring 'Jurassic Park' to life.
Wait he's 91?!?!?!
American icon 🇺🇸
Headline: 'Old racist makes another movie'
Clit Eastwood likes to SHIIT. Like a REAL MAN.
The man had a conversation with a chair on live television
wait, thought hated people like Clint Eastwood.. 🤔
Clint Eastwood's awesome. I dont think we should dismiss people if they have different politics. Reasonable people can see the world differently. Doesn't make anyone a bad person
Words of wisdom. 'It could have gone the other way.' Simple truth.
so maybe I CAN have another 40 or 50 good years!? 🤔
Don't think the same either. Still talking to chairs about conspiracy theories?
Clint Eastwood should play Hosea in a RDR2 live-action movie/series
mans a living legend
Bro, Clint Eastwood, what a legend.
With all these immigrants sneaking in we need Clint to speak out REMEMBER THE ALAMO
Like punching a lover and making them have an abortion?
Dang still looking good!!!!
Makes for a squishy diaper.
Age ≠ Weakness
He was also having threesomes in The Mule. Eastwood is a legend.
WendyMichele48 Like his work but not his politics . I was surprised he was Trump supporter but to each his own
shut upppppppppppppppppppppppp
Clint is the GOAT. An absolute legend.
Active & productive at 91 despite countless millions in the bank - whatever else he is, that’s worth a little credit.
but does he still berate empty chairs?
Neither am I.
💖
Probably the most underrated actor of all time. A filmmaking genius 👏
Amazing guy! And he still looks well for his years. May he have many more! Love his movies.
Clint Eastwood should retire! Far too old in this movie and can hardly hear him speak as well! Film looks boring as well. Take a break legend! Please.
Ah yes a right leaning paper publishing a fluff piece about an old racist who yelled at an empty chair. Good job.
Go talk to a chair, Clint.
For everyone who thinks Clint Eastwood is a great guy maybe go and talk to his son.
is he the guy who yelled at an empty chair because there was a black president
Is he still a Trump supporter though? 🤢 🤮
So long as he doesn't take his shirt off ....
Clint Eastwood is awesome
I wonder why he hadn't ridden a horse in almost 30 years?
love ya Clint but you may want to have talent do a casting for co staring dog instead cgi punching.
DaMan 💯
91 and still dressing up and playing make believe…
Ledge
oh another racist movie… nice
Damn I can't believe Clint Eastwood use to make .37 cents per hour ... that's like working for free.
Jesus Clint you're a legend alright yeehaw!!
D day landing ..
Go away clinteastwood
Yesss! And wo love him.
Wow.
wbpictures Legend
wbpictures I hope i live till 45😂😂😂
Great to know that Clint Eastwood is still both in front of and behind the cameras active once again!
However, unfortunately, he is not twenty anymore.///
“Cry Macho” focuses on a protagonist who’s fed up with macho posturing while dealing with age and the possibility of change and renewal. Read about the “sweet-natured and earnest” energy that makes it different than a traditional Eastwood film:
Really beautiful
He's an absolutely impressive guy. I appreciate him very much.
Wow. Impressive- secrets to his impressive, full life… nutshell? 👀
Would prefer to watch an empty chair
good luck
91!?!? GEEZ
Lendário.
