Clint Eastwood/Parkinson 2003 UK Interview

[@GregGNP]

A legendary actor meeting a legendary interviewer. Parkinson was one of the best EVER!

[@amandajstar]

Yes. RIP Parky, and I love Eastwood.

[@Milestonemonger]

There will never be another Clint Eastwood. He is the epitome of raw masculinity, whether in his 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and yes, 90s. He exudes coolness 😎

[@Frankie-O]

🆒️

[@daphne1079]

A class act.

[@beaudare4717]

Not only is Clint Eastwood one of the most inventive, resourseful actor/ directors, but he is also a fine human being who treats his actors with respect and kindness. As an American actor/screenwriter, I tip my hat to him.. A million best wishes, Clint..

[@beaudare4717]

Modern day Hollywood could take a lesson from him..

[@leslielaverick-stovin8823]

I was a guest of the BBC and was lucky enough to be in the audience sat just opposite Parkies chair, after the interview I shook Clint’s hand during his brief stay in the Green Room. Didn’t get to speak to him, I just wanted to say a big thank you to him for all the great movies he’s been in and long may it continue…my hero.

[@simonrae3048]

Respect to you sir

[@jeffreyroberts7438]

Fantastic!

[@jeremypearson6852]

He’s likely the end of the true film industry legends.

[@andrewmawditt5528]

This guy is the coolest man that ever lived. Just genius around the art of making movies.

[@01Thal]

I love Clint Eastwood, I love his movies, still I hear that he support Donald Trump and I...

NO! This is Clint Eastwood, not Steve McQueen. Get your eyes checked.

[@joannegallagher2792]

My late dad was a massive fan of Clint he loved his movies and he was dad's hero ❤❤

[@DanSmithBK]

My Dad was the same, and we lost him in January. We had some Clint quotes in frames at the wake, and the one that I kept is “We are like boxers. One never knows how much longer one has”. ♥️

[@debbie9259]

My late dad I think looked like Clint I think of my wonderful dad every time I see him. I love Clint what a gent

[@stephenwells9199]

great actor, a living legend no one even comes close

[@richardscally694]

Correct.!

[@Marita940]

No one

[@TheBlueOwl21]

My all time favourite actor by a mile. If Clint Eastwood Is involved in a movie, then you know it’s going to be a good one !

[@WhiteSilverback]

Couldn’t watch High Plains Drifter though . Had to turn it off but no doubt a classic but for me I can’t see one of My Heroes behave like that on a film

[@sabejreid2072]

AGREE 100% RIP both

[@richadambudgen7520]

@@WhiteSilverbackit’s absolutely brilliant that film. In my feral childhood I must have watched it 50 times.

[@copa1952]

If he does, it seems great!

[@andypalin3287]

Legend is a massive understatement! 😎

[@jeremypearson6852]

RIP Michael Parkinson one of the mainstays of the BBC since the 70’s. He was good at letting his guests speak without constant interruption, something that todays interviewers could well employ. He along with Dick Cavett were probably the best two on each side of the Atlantic. An expat watching in S Florida.

[@luckylikey8784]

He didn't patronise his guests with banal and stupid questions either, there was a superior level of intelligence and integrity to his interviewing style which I think is why he attracted a higher calibre of guests.

[@Delboy333]

Clint is class & a superb film maker. Amazing to think Parky asked him about his longevity in 2003 & to think what he’s done since. A true legend! 👏👏👏

[@Frankie-O]

🤩

[@marianaovalle6205]

I enjoyed watching this interview very much! Getting to know Clint Eastwood… such a kind, good person. Thank you.

[@technoturnip1]

For me my favourite film of his has to be The outlaw Josey wales. great actor and director.

[@bodieofci5418]

Clint Eastwood will always be my fave actor. Just a cool classy man.

[@janeokeeffe5297]

I agree

[@trippymchippy8586]

Back when we learned something via the interview process, what a good job - Parkie and Eastwood both.

[@mikespence8956]

SOID! (LEGENDS)!!! HOMKY! *MIKE! SPENCE! THE! (G,O,A,T,B)!

[@rustyjc71]

A truly inspirational human being. So glad I had the opportunity to see this.

Thanks for enjoying my upload

[@Frankie-O]

😊

[@veronicaukynwa8489]

My dad and me use to sit up late and watch Clint's Westerns. Here in the UK they were put on TV late. Dad and i would have a good old cup of coffee. Having this time with just my dad and me was perfect. My mum and brother would be in bed. Dad and me would enjoy. Quality dad and Daughter time that i will cherish. Clint is brilliant in what he does.

[@Frankie-O]

☕️

[@johndearden7931]

What you see is what you get with Clint and that is a rare quality.

[@christopheradderley45]

Without any doubt, Clint is a Hollywood great. I may be alone, but in my opinion "Pale Rider'' is one of the finest films ever made 🧡

[@mikerandall3819]

Adore Pale Rider

[@kirkbull1856]

I agree with you both, Pale Rider is a brilliant film, but for me it's The Outlaw Josie Wales that pips the post

[@fionahiggins6682]

Today ...Sir .Sean Connery died . 007... always . Time ... fleeting. Parkinson, Clint Eastwood, , Billy Connolly , heaven's sake , the list is endless . Thank you , God, for allowing me the opportunity of such awesome and wonderful people into my life .X!

[@davidravenscroft1641]

Clint is one of a kind,I grew up watching the westerns,a remarkable man who has good old fashioned values,a remarkable actor and equally an amazing director!..the word Legend is definitely apt for this man.

[@Frankie-O]

🤩

[@sweetfreedomGB]

Irreplaceable gentleman, a global icon and role model to all creeds. Apart from my dad Clint is my only hero.

[@Frankie-O]

Surrender is NOT in our creed.

[@richardgaines9450]

GRACE........CLASS........HUMILITY.........GOOD LOOKS..........BEST VOICE.......GOD BLESSED US ALL WHEN HE SENT CLINT EASTWOOD INTO OUR MIDST.

[@kevinoconnor4102]

A great friend of mine knows Clint very well and met him a few times. He said he is a genuine gentleman who has no entourage as he prefers doing his own thing.

[@skaf9587]

If only all Superstars were like Clint Eastwood

[@mickey8355]

I agree with you completely. The biggest problem with the society of young America nowadays is that they look at racial stirrers as heroes. No wonder why the character of American society has declined.

[@63Baggies]

He is perhaps THE last great leading man in the tradition of Fonda, Tracey, Marvin , McQueen, Wayne, Bronson and Newman.

[@gazmix589]

there's not many left from my generation, lots gone :-(

[@eddieroadrunner6691]

Clint and gene Hackman are worlds apart from so many in Hollywood

[@Frankie-O]

Will Ferrell played a Superstar back in 1999.

[@abates226]

8 confirmed kids with 6 different women. Those are the ones he admits to. Stellar dude. Quite the ‘gentleman.’

[@VincentK.McMahon]

“My kids weren’t giving me grandchildren so i had my own grandchildren” 😂😂 Eastwood is such a legend

[@Frankie-O]

Walt Kowalski was no grandpa, not even Cotton Hill.

Did you notice he greeted Jennifer first then Ben , sign of good manners, a gentleman.

[@annettehadley9718]

Totally... !

A gentleman who was no military officer.

Love Clint's acknowledgement of the peerless James Cagney here...

[@tommylarsson2025]

My old moviestar! Followed him since his western and always like his presence. He just has something around him that you just feel, without any words. Mystic river is one of his best in my opinion as a director.

Steven Spielberg could've directed Hacksaw Ridge.

[@BelloBudo007]

He is such a calm, level headed guy. I also like that he takes those qualities into his directing when on set. I wish I could be just a little like that. Life would be so much better for me & those around me.

[@Frankie-O]

😌

[@wildflowers5555]

He has had 16 Children out of Wedlock. Two were raised in Orphanages. The Women, Children who have been ruined by him , emotionally, financially tell a different story. ( Actor John Wayne in his last Interview, even predicted Clint Eastwood's future ; personally ,professionally and why. Therefore Actor John Wayne refused to work with him on any Movie.

[@joycemaclean8354]

Is that true? How does people know he has all these children and what happened to them all. Mabye it's just gossip?

[@wildflowers5555]

@@joycemaclean8354 After the number was put on Wikipedia, his Public Relations Department, put together a Photo shoot of all these Children standing behind him as he sat in a Chair. One of the Children that had been raised in an Orphanage did an Interview that Clint Eastwood did not continue any contact with her. (&) Check out on Y.Tb. , actor John Wayne's last Interview approximately 1977 ; and why he refused to do any Movies with Clint Eastwood. One of the reasons was even that far back he already had Illegitimate Children being born then!

[@aureliobrighton1871]

'Bridges of Madison County' ... to me belongs to the most wonderful movies of all times .. where Love and Life is the invisible bracket rather than a bold hook . it also clearly speaks in the voice of Clint Eastwoods Oeuvre 😯💐👒

[@patrickprucha5522]

Fantastic Man. I always Loved his movies!!!!

[@robert-hh2ft]

my dad was quiet and serious but had a quiet sense of humour he was alaways busy strong but not a bully or arrogant he had a certain quality and thats rare today

[@andrewfrancis4462]

Gosh this is twenty years ago already. It's still fascinating to watch and hear Eastwood reflect on his career. He had and has a great attitude toward work. I don't think he cared much for Ben Elton. Don't blame him either!

What a great interview!

[@islas357]

When he said that special effects are so good that the effects drive the movie rather than the story. I think he hit the nail on the head. Reminds me of movies like blade runner 2049 and a lot of the marvel movies.

Richard Kiel as Mr. Larson on Happy Gilmore, lol!

[@Rodger-o3t]

The, first film I ever purchased of Clint Eastwood was his fistful of dollars and from there explored his filmlogoy and his life on what's been written on him! Surely one of the best it would be interesting have seen him and Newman work together on a project or two just never happened. Mr. Eastwood surely know dumber, but well-spoken, very drivern, and well read individual he's great to listened to and read about!

[@garethburch6015]

Love Clint and Parky

This was Parkinson's genius as an interviewer - carefully coaxing the guests to open up and offer an interesting insight into their work and life.

[@jeremypearson6852]

And not drawing any attention to himself, but letting the guest shine.

Clint Eastwood is very 'normal' unlike a lot of Stars who believe their hype. Something about him makes me feel you could bump into him at a shop or garage & chat.
