Rumors have been going around for the past few weeks that Clint Eastwood is retiring from the entertainment industry. However, his son, Scott Eastwood, has cast doubt on those reports.

Scott's brother, Kyle Eastwood, inadvertently kicked off the rumors. Back in 2025, Kyle said he had "many fond memories of working with" his father. He added at the time, "Now he's retired. He's 95 years old."
Those comments recently went viral after reemerging on social media. However, Scott Eastwood isn't so sure.
In an interview with ScreenRant, Scott Eastwood said, "We'll see."
According to Scott, his father hasn't said that he's retiring at all. Until Clint Eastwood himself lays down his retirement, then it is probably best to wait and see.
"I have not heard that from his mouth at all," Scott told the outlet. "So, I don't know what that feels like. His career in general has been something to admire, something to be inspired by, and continues to inspire me. The work, the artistry that he's done on and off screen: producing, writing, composing, directing, acting. The body of work is incredible."
Clint Eastwood Retirment?
Clint Eastwood has long been one of the hardest-working actors and directors in Hollywood, working into his 90s. Even without that, Clint Eastwood is Hollywood royalty, starring in many acclaimed classics throughout his long career.
Even as he got older, Eastwood said that his desire to work has not lessened. "Maybe I just don't want a certain volume of work, but, no, it hasn't lessened," Clint said. "I love what I do."
However, Clint Eastwood hasn't acted since appearing in the 2021 film Cry Macho. Meanwhile, his last directorial film was in 2024 and was Juror #2.
"I'll probably keep on going. I feel good, but it depends on [the] material," Clint told USA TODAY. "I probably wouldn't do something just because it was marginal - I have to kind of think it has some validity and has some relationship to today."
