Look at William Shatner - that guy is 84 and he's running around like he's still in his 60s.

Someone on set asked Clint how he still does it, and he said the secret was "don't let the 'old' in."
Was just going to ask for clarification on this point, so thanks for that. I'm a huge Eastwood fan but I have failed to pick up the Blu Rays on Sniper and Jersey Boys yet, waiting for price drops (and I kind of forgot about Jersey Boys).

Personally I would rather see Eastwood act again than be a director but maybe that's me.

If coconuts are flying through my office window here in Maryland than I deserve to get hit with one and die. I just don't want to live in a world with flying coconuts.

He has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in AMERCIAN SNIPER.

I thought he bowed out gracefully with Gran Torino. it was a great film to end end his acting career. Then he came back with Trouble with the Curve and ruined that swan song.

Unless those projects are movies like Bradley Cooper Shoots Everyone Everywhere, That Singing Group Sings A Lot And Their Hairstyles Change Too, Angelina Jolie Dresses Like A Flapper, Matt Damon Talks To Ghosts, Leonardo DiCaprio Bides His Time Until Scorsese Calls Him Again, and Matt Damon Plays Sports For Morgan Freeman.

I actually love a lot of Eastwood's directorial output, but he's had one good film in over 10 years (Gran Torino).
