Everybody's favourite cowboy in a kilt???

EDIT. Mistook Wayne for James Stewart in "The Rare Breed".

Nope... Not Clint Eastwood...

Had I seen that I would've been too scared to compliment him. The man scares the piss out of me even in his 80s. I hear he is a wonderful man but mercy, he can growl the bowls out of a bad guy better than anyone!

I knew an old (now retired) border patrol agent who worked the Blaine Peace Arch crossing between the U.S. & Canada, who told me about a run-in with a "bad guy" back in the late 60's.
Seems this guy pulled up to the crossing to return into the States, and this BP agent thought "man, this guy looks like a convict," so he started asking the usual 20 questions (where you from, where you going, yadda-yadda).
The whole time his internal radar is going off, something about this guy's look.
So then he asks "what do you do for a living?" and the guy replies "I'm a movie actor."
Okay, well that was to much for this BP agent, so he asks for the guy's id....
yep, you guessed it: Clint Eastwood!
(True story).

A friend ran into Eastwood when he was filming "Heartbreak Ridge" at Camp Pendleton, CA. My friend was a company commander and was in bad need of a Gunny, and he had been promised the next one to report aboard. He came back from leave and saw this tough looking Gunny walking around, asked him if he'd been assigned yet, and then went to his CO to ask for the Gunny to be assigned to him. The CO to him he couldn't have the new Gunny and the conversation (according to my friend) devolved into one of those "whose on first" routines until the CO told him the "Gunny" was Clint Eastwood.

I second what was said earlier about this being a gem.
My pappy grew up watching Roy Rodgers and Hopalong Cassidy. I have come to appreciate the old movies and even those westerns. I've seen Unconquered and now I have this one to talk about with him, and get closer to him as he nears 80. I think these make great for bridging his interests with mine in Kilts.

I grew up on good ol Roy Rogers, the King of the Cowboys!

I still like him. Perhaps we could get Roy in a kilt...?

with a white bonnet.
