Clint Eastwood Too Old For Dirty Harry

May 20th, 2008

Clint Eastwood has admitted that he’s too old to revive his ‘Dirty Harry’ character, Harry Callanhan, saying that although "it was great fun at that time", there is little chance of him reprising his role.

The 77-year-old actor, who turns 78 at the end of this month, ruled out another movie in the 70saction franchise while at a news conference at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Dirty Harry would not be on the police department at my age, so we’ll move on from that," Eastwood said.

"Whatever reaction it had, it was great fun at that time. It was a fantasy role. You point a .44 Magnum at someone and say, ‘Do you feel lucky?’"
