The king of westerns hits our screens this Sunday, as he takes on the dangerous, deadly, and daring role of the title character in The Mule. We're super excited to see Mr. Eastwood do what he does best: deliver star-studded action and world-class acting. Let's look at the reasons why we love this Hollywood icon.
1. He's A Living Legend
He has decades of movies under his belt, numerous awards, and has won over audiences of all ages. With classics such as The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Dirty Harry, and For A Few More Dollars, Clint has become a household name and a living legend. He is the king of the west but has successfully taken on many other genres and worked with the biggest stars. His on-screen presence is captivating and his roles are forever memorable. The star in him keeps going and there's no stopping him.
2. His Lines
His movie lines are often deep, cutthroat, and delivered with that perfect Clint Eastwood attitude that we love. It sticks with us long after the movie ends and often has us reciting them. Here are our top picks:
"OK, you did two things wrong. First, you asked a question, and second, you asked another question." Million Dollar Baby.
"Dying ain't much of a living, boy." The Outlaw Josey Wales
"In this world, there are two kinds of people, my friend. The ones with loaded guns and the ones who dig. You dig." The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
And of course our personal favourite:
"You have to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?" Dirty Harry.
3. His Smile
There's just something about his smile, it gets you. We need not say anything more.
4. His Music
From acting, directing, and composing music, this die-hard veteran is a man of many talents. Mr. Eastwood is an accomplished jazz pianist who composes some of the music for the movies he produces. Some of his greatest songs produced are, I Talk To The Trees, Burning Bridges and Beers to You. It's evident that music is close to his heart and runs in the family because his son Kyle Eastwood is a jazz bassist!
5. His Movies
As we mentioned earlier, he has starred in many successful classics. He's also an accomplished director boosting a range of magnificent movies. These include A Million Dollar Baby (which won four Oscars) and Space Cowboys, both of which he also starred in. His other notable works are the biopic, J.Edgar, starring the very talented Leonardo Di Caprio, the musical biography Jersey Boys, and the global hit American Sniper. Let's not forget about his next huge commercial success Sully, starring the incredible Tom Hanks. These are just a handful of his projects and there are more on the horizon for this outstanding movie mogul.
