    It's incredible that they gave him this award at a time when everyone thought he'd got his Oscars, had built an impressive body of work and would now quietly retire. Nobody could have forseen the rich and varied masterpieces that lay ahead as this man moved into his 70's. And yet in a way perhaps we should have done. Because nobody has ever had a career like Clint Eastwood. Nobody.

    The family and I just watched Gran Torino. After growing up with those awesome westerns in the 70s and 80's it's one of his movies that somehow we missed. What a great story, acting and directing job. Just saw star wars too which we loved but I have to say if I had to pick between them I'd vote Gran Torino. After watching this AFI achievement clip it shows how humble a person he is. Way to go Clint.

    If you watch Clint here, or on the utube vid with he and Ali on a talk show almost 3 decades before this in 1969 you will see that he's almost exactly the same. Think about that, in almost 30 yrs with about as much success as a man can have there is STILL no ego on the man, just a polite, easy going, and totally respectful man that is comfortable in his own skin. He is as big of Hollywood name as anyone but there's absolutely nothing "Hollywood" about him. Go Clint!

    Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger.. My heroes on film since I was like 6y old. Clint is older than life and all the better for it. I figured out a few years back that all my heroes will die before I kick the bucket... And that is a sad notion. They will b remembered always. So in a way they have become immortal.

NO I don’t worship any celebrities or have any weird obsession with Clint Eastwood but no doubt he’s the best, Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington would be tied for 2nd in my book, and we’ll put Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt at a close 3rd, what do you guys think? Who’s your top 3? This is actually research for a class, I’m 34 by the way, leave your age too if you don’t mind, seriously it’s for research but I didn’t know what my project was going to be until now, help me out!

    I'm always confused by this whole awards thing, cause what he says "you need lots of elements of luck to make it" so at what point does it change from "I'm so lucky to get this part" to "Give him/her an award" let's face it, nearly every actor, given the luck, could be huge in the industry, and I think it's important also for all the people standing out in the rain on premiere night to remember, the Stars you're all scrambling to see are really just very VERY lucky & are just like you!!!

    • @Cowcharge

      +Andy Roo Luck gets you noticed, gets your foot in the door. But I've done enough acting to realize that it's skill that gets you a 57-year (so far) career of consistently great work. Clint has been looking for, and finding, a different way to do everything he does for that long.

      a lot of actors are just lucky and not talented but you will find they will do a few films then drop off. the talented actors will keep going and keep producing great films
      not everyone can be a great actor and clint eastwood is being humble by saying it was luck
      personally i think he is a better director than actor and the films he directors are really amazing that very few could beat
      so to say they are just lucky is wrong
