Clint Eastwood Denies Fake Interview Claims Amid Kurier Investigation

A recent interview published by Austrian newspaper Kurier, purportedly featuring Clint Eastwood on his 95th birthday, has been revealed as fabricated and misleading. Eastwood denied giving any such interview, clarifying that the article was entirely false and that he is not currently working on a new film. The piece was actually a compilation of recycled quotes from Eastwood's past press conferences dating back decades, which the journalist Elisabeth Sereda admitted were used to create a tribute rather than a genuine interview. Kurier acknowledged the error, removed the article, and severed ties with the reporter, citing a failure to meet editorial standards. This incident has highlighted issues within film journalism, particularly the reliance on repurposed content and the challenges posed by outdated journalistic practices. Eastwood's last film was released last year, with no official announcements about future projects.
