The lion in winter as a drug mule: The 88-year-old actor took on the role of Earl Stone, a horticulturist who’s always put work above family. Cut to 2017, and he’s got to close down his business , his house is being foreclosed on and his grown daughter won’t even speak to him. Then he finds out that some guys are looking for someone to drive to a Southern border town and back every so often. He’s spent his life on the road and it pays well, so why not.
Based on a magazine article, it’s a kinder, gentler version of the cane-shaking curmudgeons Eastwood has played in his later acting career . But there’s something about watching the venerable actor, looking every bit his age yet still able to conjure up a crusty nobility and withering death stare, that lends an frisson to this part that other stars might not have given it. And the scene in which he offers wisdom to Cooper, who’s unaware the dotty old man is his prey, feels generous and graceful.
Clint’s the best
Who? 🙂
You forgot about his monologue with a chair.
PLAY MISTY FOR ME🖤
Greatest of all time
Missed a classic, Gran Torino 🇺🇸

Fuck this cop
❤ I need to watch The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly! I'm a left winger and I don't care about Clint Eastwood's politics, he supported same sex marriage so that's good.

Filmdom's greatest and most recognizable icon. Hope he makes many more superb movies, either starring or directing.
Y’all picked The Mule over Gran Torino? Crazy.

AliAdair22 😳 oh, no! Where has the time gone! Happy birthday to an amazing, talented actor! And my first crush as a young girl!🤩🤩🤩
Best movie : In the line of Fire
So happy that you included 'White Hunter Black Heart'! 😊
He's a racist. President Obama is black. Too much for clint. Yelled at a chair pretending that Obama used foul language when public speaking while having zero problems with reality tv personality ACTUALLY speaking so foul in public our kids cannot listen to the 1600 occupant.
Why the fuck we celebrating this racist today? Of all days?
If you hate actors based on their political views, you're a puppet and a sheep
Happy birthday my sweet man!! you are bad to the bone!
I’ll save a chair for him at the dinner table ...
NeilJamesWeekes The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Still one of the best films ever made.
Happy Birthday to Clint Eastwood!
its micheal j foxes birthday today? I didnt know thanks for telling me twitter!
You forgot RWNJ who talks to empty chairs.
Fuck Eastwood and Rolling Stone
Screw Clint and his empty chair.
New Rule - 90th bday require a best practice to stay alive this long as a smoker.
F******. Clint Eastwood
fuck this radical right boomer
His best moment was when he interviewed that empty chair. What a legend.
JJCarafano Happy Birthday 🎈
Here's to at least 10 more, keep kicking ass 💪
I lost respect for Eastwood with his support of Trump.
Anything new Clint Go ahead Make Your Day Haha
Excellent Directorial work in 'Bird'.
RandaHandler How old is ClintEastwood?
I hope Clint spent his birthday with an empty chair!
HBD Callahan..Play Misty
Happy Birthday to Clint Eastwood, as Hollywood Legend.
Happy 90th birthday young man & your still the best looking man in the world...❤️🎉🎂🎊🎁🎈🎊🎂🎉😊🥰
Fuck that.
Happy birthday, Clint; thanks for making our day time and again.
2ANow Gran Torino was a pretty good flick. Just watched the other day.
Kelley's Heroes! It was just on the Sundance Channel last week. ClintEastwood
Flawed political views, but a great actor, and a superb director. As Meatloaf would say, '2 out of 3 ain't bad.'
the inspiration for every cop who put a knee on a black guy's neck
What would Clint have to say about these Communist agitators?
Clint Eastwood doesn't like this
He’s racist and ableist. His movies aren’t essential.
I saw Clint Eastwood in the VIP at Coachella once. Everyone was too scared to approach him.
This is a bs list without Grand Torino
We need cops like the Dirty Harry to restore law and order
RAZ0RFIST
Have you seen his son...Oh my😑😑such a beautiful creature.
I remember thinking Clint Eastwood was hot and then I found out he was my father's age
🇨🇦Happy Birthday Clint!🇨🇦🎂🇺🇸🇨🇦
90 what man, he truly is indestructible.
APACHEMAGA You knew they would weasel out and only pick the first Dirty Harry movie and not also Magnum Force.
Where's Gran Torino
Hard pass. No need to support and glorify a man that supports racism and misogyny. Just like there is no need to support Mel Gibson’s anti-Semitic views.
Why is celebrating an openly racist man in the wake of active racial injustice protests rolling across the United States right now? tonedeaf
LLhoops this article popped up on my twitter feed this morning.
is it me or has it seemed that Clint Eastwood has turned 90 years old every year for the past 5 years now..
You should know better than anyone... ...KERNING MATTERS! dumbasses
Everyone in the comments proving Clints as to why people who aren’t on the left in Hollywood keep their politics close to the chest. Clint in a libertarian and most of what he said was spot on. Obama has such cult of personality that his supporters are blind to anything negative.
Clint Eastwood, actor, poducer, Trump supporter, and part of the problem and not the solution.
let's celebrate nazi
Happy Birthday 🎂
Name another 90 year old that could kill you with just his glare!
Happy birthday Clint.
Hollywood's Rushmore begins with this guy. 1930, what a year in the delivery room This makes my day
Your day is the only Happy Birthday Mr Clint Eastwood. Specially now a days.Great movies and great casts please have the very best always and be safe.Have lots icecream and cake for all of us in America.Please keep showing your great Western American Films.They're all great.
Happy Birthday ClintEastwood! 😊💙🎂🎉🎊🎈
Sorry but Clint Eastwood lost me as a fan right here 👇
F that cult member. I hope this is his last bday. Hopefully he gets corona.
One hell of a sexy man.
Tough to argue w the list, but I'd have to include 'A Perfect World '
outlawscalper Happy birthday Clint Eastwood
Wow, could we ever use a 'Clint Eastwood' in the Whitehouse right now lol. Could you imagine how different things would be in the World if Clint had been elected President in 2016, instead of Skid-Plate? ClintEastwood
Great actor and Shy human
The first thing I thought when I read this was his 'Empty Chair' performance.
Rowdy Yates & Dirty Harry-now I feel old! Happy Birthday Clint - I love you in spite of your politics!
A very good actor, but sublime as a director, pure talent. happy 90
Maybe he should go yell at a chair again.
As a kid, I was absolutely in love with Clint Eastwood. I watched all his movies. Sorry though, he lost me with the chair stunt. I'll only watch his movies if they are free to me, part of content I've already purchased.
😲😲😲 90 tahunn aktor legend
One of the few true movie stars still with us. An absolute legend. Here’s to 90 more years
So sad when he went crazy.
Where does the “Obama Chair” performance at the RNC convention rate?
a very happy birthday to the greatest actor/director ever
Is He Still Talking To Empty Chairs?
🎂🎂🎂
Happy birthday Clint ! Wishing you a wonderful day ! 💓
Happy Birthday to Mr. Clint Eastwood
True screen legend.
