CLINT EASTWOOD ON DIRTY HARRY RUMORS

Clint Eastwood

Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood is laughing off rumors that he is bringing back his legendary Dirty Harry character for a new movie and is insisting the grizzled cop would be far too old. It was recently reported the 77-year-old wanted to kill off Harry Callahan in one more movie, 37 years after the character first graced the big screen. But Eastwood - who will introduce a Cannes Film Festival screening of 1971’s Dirty Harry on tomorrow insists Callahan would be long retired by now. He says, "Dirty Harry would not be in a police department at my age."
