As per Eastwood, when asked about retirement, he doesn’t necessarily think about it. It seems there is no stopping for the veteran actor as he is pretty dedicated to his work, and if he can work at the age of 91, indeed, one can witness many more from him.
However, several reports suggest that Cry Macho is the ultimate Clint Eastwood film and might retire after this. There is no confirmation yet from the actor’s side on such speculations, and the fans surely don’t want Eastwood to retire.
