He has appeared in more than 60 movies, his career has extended over 65 years, and he’s known for his iconic westerns plus a certain Gorillaz song… that’s right, we’re talking about the legendary Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood was born in San Francisco. He is the son of Clinton Eastwood Sr., a bond salesperson and later manufacturing executive, and Ruth Wood, a homemaker. After high school, Eastwood found work as a feller, truck driver, and furnace tender. The acclaimed actor was also in the armed forces. In 1951 Eastwood was drafted into the U.S. Army during the Korean War and put on duty at California’s Fort Ord.
What Is Clint Eastwood’s Net Worth In 2023?
Eastwood has pocketed a huge amount of cash throughout his career, and as of 2023, he has an estimated net worth of $375 million, or £299 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
His acting career began with small-scale uncredited film roles and TV appearances. Eastwood played parts in many different TV programmes, including the series Rawhide.
He rose to fame in the 1960s in three low-cost Italian westerns by Sergio Leone, called the Dollars Trilogy, the most exhilarating representatives of the genre known as ‘spaghetti westerns’. He starred in only three spaghetti westerns, yet even still, he is easily the most recognisable face in the genre.
Perhaps as recognisable as Eastwood himself is his gun in the first instalment of Dollars Trilogy in 1964. To begin with, Eastwood used just one weapon – that’s a Colt Single Action Army with a colour-case-hardened frame. This is a single-action revolver that is composed of a revolving cylinder that holds metallic cartridges.
Aside from acting, Eastwood spent two years as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California in the 1980s.
Now in his nineties, the iconic actor is still staying fit and keeping his famous bod in top shape by reaping the benefits of time spent outdoors and playing sports, but he doesn’t do anything “too strenuous.”
