Look at me! Look at me!
No joke, I always wanted to be Clint Eastwood. Coolest actor ever, in my opinion and it's not even close.
My secret fantasy, and I have never told anyone this so you will be the first, is to be walking casually somewhere minding my own business and Eastwood walks up to me and asks if I would like to be in one of his movies because I reminded him a little of himself.
Yeah, fat chance that will ever happen. But, a guy can dream, can't he?
If I were to have to pick one role he played that was my favorite, I honestly couldn't.
Was it the man with no name trilogy from his spaghetti western days?
Dirty Harry Callahan role as a modern policeman in San Francisco?
Was it the wronged gunfighter just trying to survive in the Outlaw Josey Wales?
Was it the tough, drunken Marine sergeant in Heartbreak Ridge?
Or, even the revenge minded ghost of a sheriff in High Plains Drifter?
Was it Philo Beddoe from the silly Every Which Way but Loose and Any Which Way You Can movies?
I really don't know if I have an absolute favorite. I love them all.
Just please read this blog, Clint Eastwood, and pick me as your successor. I promise, I can act.
Seriously, Eastwood turned 80 years old this year. He won't be here forever, unfortunately, and like John Wayne we all must go on without him.
I will weep openly. I'm going to go ahead and reveal that now.
Hey, Bro, you are my Clint Eastwood! You have been a hero to me for as long as I can remember.
