Clint Eastwood, who recently turned 95, has publicly denied giving a viral interview to the Austrian newspaper Kurier that criticized Hollywood's reliance on remakes, franchises, and sequels. The interview, which gained widespread attention after being shared by multiple major outlets, quoted Eastwood expressing frustration with the industry's lack of original ideas and promoting a philosophy of "do something new or stay at home."
