Overview

• Eastwood issued a statement on June 2 confirming he turned 95 and has never given any recent interview to Kurier, calling the published Q&A entirely phony.
• Kurier ran the alleged interview on May 30, attributing to Eastwood criticisms of Hollywood’s reliance on remakes and franchises and suggesting he would keep working indefinitely.
• After the denial, Kurier appended a note to its online article and said it is investigating how the disputed material was assembled.
• Eastwood’s most recent directorial effort, Juror #2, premiered in November 2024, and he has made clear he has no plans to retire.
• The episode underscores the ease with which misattributed or fabricated quotes can spread and follows past instances of false interviews using Eastwood’s name without authorization.
