Clint Eastwood is a multitalented American entertainer who has also dabbled in politics. Starring as antihero cop Harry Callahan in five “Dirty Harry” films throughout the 1970s and 1980s and as the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Western trilogy in the 1960s propelled him to international fame after his success on the TV series Rawhide.
These and other early roles helped establish Eastwood as one of the most recognizable actors in cinematic history and a cultural icon of masculinity.

How Old Is Clint Eastwood?
On May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, Clint Eastwood entered the world. He’s 93 years old now. The nurses gave him the name Samson because he was so large at birth (11 pounds, 6 ounces). His father’s work took the family all around the West Coast in the 1930s, so they relocated frequently.
In the 1940s, the family found a home in a prosperous section of Piedmont, California. The Eastwoods owned multiple vehicles, a swimming pool, and a membership to a country club.
Clint Eastwood made his third appearance as The Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s legendary Dollars Trilogy of Spaghetti Westerns, following A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More.
Even though The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is considered a classic of the Western genre, the set was far from beautiful, being full of bitter rivalries and potentially fatal stunts.

The 36-year-old Hollywood star originally wasn’t satisfied with the script and ended up wearing the same poncho he wore in the first two films without having it washed.
He reportedly told Leone, “In the first film, I was alone. In the second, we were two. Here we are three. If it goes on this way, in the next one I will be starring with the American cavalry.”
Eastwood accepted the role in “The Ugly” for an income of up to $250,000, plus a Ferrari and 10% of the revenues in the United States despite his fears that Eli Wallach, his co-star, would steal the show. After that, the two performers took a flight to Madrid for the filming, where they discovered that all of the hotels were already booked.
Because of this, Wallach slept over at a friend’s house with the star of The Man with No Name, who ended up sharing a bed with him, according to Daily Express. Anne Jackson, the husband’s ex-wife, remarked that her husband could now claim to be the only man to have slept with Clint Eastwood.
The actor in Ugly had a tough time filming since he almost got poisoned when a technician put a bottle of acid next to his soda bottle. Wallach claimed in his autobiography that his life was threatened twice more while working with Leone because, although being a brilliant filmmaker, safety was exceedingly careless in the midst of the de@dly stunts they were undertaking.
One other instance occurred during the filming of the scene in which The Ugly is hung from a horse. The horse was supposed to run when the pist0l went off, but it was so frightened that it sprinted a whole mile while Wallach’s wrists were still tied behind his back. The noose fortunately snapped before it could be used. You can see the official tweet by Clint Eastwood Official below.
