Clint Eastwood is one of the most famous and well known actors of all time, known for being a tough, hardened type character in most of his films, Eastwood recently made news on showing on Ellen. He already made it known that he doesn't think very highly of President Obama, as shown during his speech to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention (RNC), but the famous movie star does agree with him on one topic. Making a guest appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show Ellen on Tuesday, Eastwood gave his stand point on gay marriage. "It's part of the libertarian idea of leave everybody alone," Eastwood told Ellen DeGeneres.Eastwood is far more concerned with the state of the economy and the national debt, which is what he railed against to an invisible Obama during his speech. But one thing he doesn't seem to care about is how people percieve that widely ridiculed speech. "The Democrats who were watching thought I was going senile," said Eastwood. "And the Republicans knew I was." Another topic Eastwood really doesn't seem to have a strong opinion about is the reality television show vein g done about his family, "Mrs. Eastwood and Company." Clint Eastwood had been a little vague when DeGeneres asked about the show, which shows the life of the 82-year-old actor and his much younger wife and their children.
This really does effect the film industry by introducing politics and personal beliefs into the media world as not shown before. Usually not many actors give out their personal beliefs on government, their political views, their morale views, etc. but it's clear that Eastwood is a man who does not care about the "what ifs". He shows that in his own character he understands what's going on and is willing to show his opinion about it.
