Overview

• Clint Eastwood told Deadline he never gave a recent interview to Kurier and called the published conversation “completely fabricated.”
• Kurier confirmed the 95th-birthday “interview” was assembled from earlier round-table transcripts, not a fresh discussion.
• The newspaper insisted all Eastwood quotes were authentic but acknowledged the interview format wrongly implied it was new.
• Kurier has removed the disputed article, ended its collaboration with freelancer Elisabeth Sereda and pledged tighter editorial oversight.
• Claims that Eastwood was in preproduction on a new film project were based on the contested interview and now remain unverified.
