Hollywood director Clint Eastwood has turned 95, but he has no plans to retire. The actor-director confirmed that he is already working on his next film at this age.

In a recent interview with the Austrian newspaper Kurier, Eastwood spoke about how Hollywood has changed. He said he misses the days when writers came up with original ideas, instead of the remakes and sequels that are common today.

“There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age,” Eastwood said. “And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”

“I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like ‘Casablanca’ in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea,” he said. “We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I’ve shot sequels three times, but I haven’t been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home,” he continued.

He also credited his success to constantly learning and trying new things. “As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year,” he said. “And that’s why I will work as long as I can still learn something, or until I’m truly senile,” he added.

Even at 95, the director said that he feels physically fit and full of ideas. For him, age is just a number, and the camera is still rolling.

Known for classic films like ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’, ‘Dirty Harry’, and ‘Million Dollar Baby‘, Eastwood is admired around the world for his strong storytelling and long-lasting career. His most recent film, ‘Juror #2’, released in 2024.
