Legendary filmmaker and actor Clint Eastwood has chosen to retire after an extraordinary run in Hollywood that spanned more than seven decades. The news was confirmed by his son, musician and composer Kyle Eastwood, shortly after the 96-year-old marked his 96th birthday on May 31.
Clint Eastwood retires
While speaking to French broadcaster France 3, Kyle opened up about collaborating with his father on multiple projects and revealed that the veteran star has quietly chosen not to take on any other projects in the industry.
"I have a lot of good memories of working with him. Now he’s retired, he’s 95 years old. But I’ve been very lucky to be able to work with him on a lot of films. It was a great experience for me," Kyle said.
While Clint did not personally announce his retirement, many believe Juror No. 2 (2024) could be his final film as a director. The courtroom drama was praised by both critics and audiences.
