When Clint Eastwood released his last movie, \u201cJuror No. 2,\u201d in 2024, the longtime Carmel-by-the-Sea resident, four-time Oscar winner and mainstay of American cinema skipped the premiere, raising speculation that he was finally ready to retire. After all, he was 94.<\/p>\n

The actor and director has repeatedly said that he wants to keep making movies as long as possible, according to the Daily Beast. Industry watchers in part attributed his absence at the premiere to the failure of Warner Bros. to give Eastwood\u2019s well-reviewed courtroom drama, his 40th film as director, the theatrical roll-out that many thought he and the movie deserved.<\/p>\n

Now, two years later, Eastwood\u2019s son has confirmed that his father has in fact \u201cretired.\u201d In an interview with France Info, Kyle Eastwood revealed that his father had stopped working, the Daily Beast reported.<\/p>\n

A musician and film composer, Kyle Eastwood, made the comments to the outlet while reflecting on what it was like to work on movies with his legendary father, who known for his early work in TV and Sergio Leone Westerns, becoming a film star as \u201cDirty Harry\u201d and directing such acclaimed films as \u201cPlay Misty for Me,\u201d \u201cUnforgiven\u201d and \u201cMillion Dollar baby,\u201d the Daily Beast said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been very lucky to be able to work with him on a lot of films. It was a great experience for me,\u201d said Kyle Eastwood, who has contributed music to nine of his father\u2019s films, including \u201cMystic River,\u201d \u201cMillion Dollar Baby\u201d and \u201cLetters from Iwo Jima.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of good memories of working with him. Now he\u2019s retired,\u201d Kyle Eastwood said.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Eastwood\u2019s IMDB page shows no upcoming projects for him as a director or actor. He\u2019s listed as a producer for a reported remake of his 1977 action-thriller, \u201cThe Gauntlet,\u201d which would star Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson; Christopher McQuarrie would direct. The film was announced in 2024, but there is no further information available about its production.<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast said it had reached out to Eastwood\u2019s representatives for comment about his reported retirement.<\/p>\n

Last year, Eastwood made some headlines after he contacted Deadline to deny he had spoked to an Austrian publication, which quoted him as complaining about the current state of the film industry and its preferences for IP and sequels.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of items about me have recently shown up in the news,\u201d Eastwood told Deadline in his characteristic, no-nonsense way. \u201cI thought I would set the record straight. I can confirm I\u2019ve turned 95. I can also confirm that I never gave an interview to an Austrian publication called Kurier, or any other writer in recent weeks, and that the interview is entirely phony.\u201d<\/p>\n

But around the time of \u201cJuror No. 2\u2019s\u201d release, Eastwood was reportedly \u201cstruggling\u201d with some issues in his personal life, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

One significant blow was the death of his girlfriend of 10 years in July 2024. Several months before \u201cJuror No. 2\u201d premiered, Christina Sandera, died of a heart attack at age 61. In a statement released after her death, Eastwood wrote: \u201cChristina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Eastwood had kept his relationship with Sandera relatively private after being involved in several high-profile romances over the decades, including with actor-director Sondra Locke, actor Frances Fisher and news anchor Diana Ruiz. He also is the father of eight children by several different women.<\/p>\n

A source close to the situation told the Daily Mail: \u201cClint is having a hard time dealing with all the recent lows in his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail said another \u201cblow\u201d to Eastwood also occurred in 2024 when his 32-year-old daughter Francesca Eastwood was embroiled in legal issues. The actor, who also had a part in \u201cJuror No. 2,\u201d had been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence involving a fight with her boyfriend, the father of her now-8-year-old son. But Francesca Eastwood was released on bail, and there is no further information about whether prosecutors filed charges against her, according to People. Francesca Eastwood went on to have a second son last year.<\/p>\n
