And ahead of the premiere, the conservative icon sat down with the Los Angeles Times to explain why he’s still making and starring in movies at age 91.
“I don’t look like I did at 20, so what? That just means there are more interesting guys you can play,” he told the Times:
At age 91, with Clint Eastwood’s new “Cry Macho,” Eastwood is perhaps the oldest American ever to both direct and star in a major motion picture.

And he said he’s open to other projects, so please don’t refer to this as his last movie:

However, “Cry Macho” will be a little different than past Eastwood flicks with this one being called “sweet-natured and earnest”:
“Cry Macho” focuses on a protagonist who’s fed up with macho posturing while dealing with age and the possibility of change and renewal.

We love him, too, of course, and will watch ANYTHING he makes:
I LOVE Clint Eastwood. They don’t make them like that today. I’d love to have a chat with him. I used to watch him in Lebanon in the spaghetti westerns. https://t.co/xNNmL1m5u0

Hollywood just doesn’t produce people like this any longer:
I met Eastwood once. At an airport. He was flying coach. Told him I thought that PLAY MISTY FOR ME was a little weak and he said "eh, first time out."
Also, as it turns out, a big Eric Dolphy fan.

We’ll be watching:
I don't care how old he gets, I'm watching every Clint Eastwood film ever. Cry Macho is officially my next weekend activity.
