The king of westerns hits our screens this Sunday, as he takes on the dangerous, deadly, and daring role of the title character inย The Mule. We're super excited to see Mr. Eastwood do what he does best: deliverย star-studded action and world-class acting. Let's look at the reasons why we love thisย Hollywood icon.ย
1. He'sย 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.ย His on-screen presence is captivating and his roles are forever memorable. The star in himย keeps going and there's no stopping him.
2. His Lines
His movie linesย are often deep, cutthroat, and delivered with thatย perfect Clint Eastwood attitude that we love. Itย sticks with usย long after the movie ends and often has usย reciting them.ย Here areย our topย picks:
"OK, you did two things wrong. First, you asked a question, and second, you asked another question."ย Million Dollar Baby.
"Dying ain't much of a living, boy."ย The Outlaw Josey Walesย โ
"In this world, there are two kinds of people, my friend. The ones with loaded guns and the ones who dig. You dig."ย The Good, the Bad and the Uglyโ.
And of course our personal favourite:
"You have to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?"ย Dirty Harry.
3. His Smile
There's just something about his smile, itย gets you.ย We need not say anything more.
4. His Music
From acting, directing, andย composing music, this die-hardย veteran is a man of many talents.ย Mr. Eastwood is an accomplished jazz pianistย whoย composes some of theย music for the movies he produces. Someย of his greatestย songs producedย are,ย 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 becauseย his sonย Kyle Eastwoodย is a jazz bassist!
5. His Movies
As we mentioned earlier, he has starred in many successfulย classics. He'sย also an accomplished director boosting a range of magnificent movies. These includeย A Million Dollar Babyย (which won four Oscars) and Space Cowboys, bothย ofย which he alsoย starred in.ย His other notable works areย theย biopic, J.Edgar, starring the very talentedย Leonardoย Di Caprio, the musical biography Jersey Boys, and the global hitย American Sniper.ย Let's not forget about his next huge commercial success Sully, starring the incredibleย Tom Hanks. These are just a handful of his projects and there are moreย on the horizon for this outstanding movie mogul.
