Back in March 2024, Clint Eastwood traveled to Carmel, California, to attend the Reasons For Hope event led by his friend and British ethologist Jane Goodall. Three weeks after the gathering, a LinkedIn user uploaded a photo of the two legendary minds, which featured a scruffy Eastwood smiling. “Went to see Jane Goodall speak in Carmel. At 90 years old, she is truly a saint,” their caption read. “Talking with Jane here is a very disheveled Clint Eastwood.” It didn’t take long for the photo and other video footage from the event to hit social media, resulting in a handful of people commenting on his appearance. One person on X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote, “I rarely talk about my heroes I looked up to growing up but seeing one of them so advanced in age and looking so frail… that’s difficult to take.” Another user echoed similar sentiments, adding, “Wow, he seems to have gotten suddenly frail at 93. But, it happens to us all.”
While a handful of fans expressed concern over Eastwood’s health, the “Jersey Boys” director is reportedly quite healthy, thanks to one daily habit. In a December 2023 interview with Audacy’s Superstar Power Hour, the late Toby Keith revealed that Eastwood’s key to aging gracefully is staying productive. “Several years ago at the first [golf] event, I played with him… I [asked], ‘What keeps you going at your age?’ He said, ‘I try to get up every day and be productive,'” he explained.
