Five actors and directors who hate Clint Eastwood (Far Out Magazine)

Including John Wayne, Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, we reveal five actors/directors who have taken issue with Clint Eastwood and his steely attitude.

In blunt response, Eastwood instead announced the day as a wrap and walked off set, much to DiCaprio’s frustration. The movie was a glowing success both critically and commercially, but off-screen, Hanks became rather frustrated with the director’s brazen obstinacy. The movie wasn’t a glowing success with the critics and perhaps reflected the dissonant atmosphere within the crew. However, Eastwood apparently had the camera rolling and deemed it a first take, assuring Hammer that he would edit the script out of the shot. In March 2023, Eastwood revealed that he was set to write and direct the very last movie of his career, Juror #2. However, Wayne wasn’t a fan of Eastwood and his nuanced approach to cowboy acting. Much of this vitriol came courtesy of Eastwood’s fellow filmmaker, Michael Moore, who has famously condemned the USA’s military activity and gun laws in his filmography, which includes Bowling for Columbine and Where to Invade Next. He claimed that Eastwood didn’t accurately represent the proportion of Black soldiers who fought during the war. On several occasions, he has been called out for discriminatory content and commentary, as well as his habitual glorification of the US military. Still, some of the personality traits that buoyed him to the top of his game – tenacity, obstinacy and apathy – have occasionally left a poor impression. [Clint Eastwood](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/tags/clint-eastwood), broke out in the 1960s, offering a worthy alternative to John Wayne as one of Hollywood’s biggest western stars. Remarkably, Eastwood is still active today at 92 years of age and released his most recent film, Cry Macho, to rapturous applause in 2021.

Clint Eastwood Wishes He Never Made One Of His Most Memorable ... (GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT)

Clint Eastwood is a Hollywood legend responsible for some of the best films of all-time, but there's one film he'd like to disappear.

According to Clint Eastwood, watching Paint Your Wagon after it was finished made him want to quit acting altogether. For Clint Eastwood, however, the experience of making Paint Your Wagon was flat-out miserable. He felt he would be good in Paint Your Wagon because his father, Clint Eastwood Sr., was a singer. It was originally meant to feature an interracial romance, which made Clint Eastwood want to sign on to Paint Your Wagon in the first place. Starring Clint Eastwood and The Dirty Dozen actor Lee Marvin, Paint Your Wagon follows a pair of prospectors who find gold, stake a claim, and build up a tent city around the claim — one that’s completely devoid of women. And then there’s Paint Your Wagon, the high-spirited western musical that Clint Eastwood wishes he never made, according to a report by [Far Out Magazine](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/movie-clint-eastwood-wishes-never-made/?amp).

A Fistful Of Dollars' Disastrous TV Edit Destroys Eastwood's ... (Screen Rant)

A Fistful Of Dollars introduced Clint Eastwood's amoral Man with No Name to audiences, but an ABC TV edit tried to make the character a hero.

By the time this version of A Fistful Of Dollars aired, Eastwood was already a major star thanks to the Dollars trilogy and the first two Dirty Harrys. When A Fistful Of Dollars was set to air on ABC during the mid-'70s, his lack of morality was deemed an issue by network executives, who decided to film a prologue for the Western to frame the Man with No Name in a more heroic light. In A Fistful Of Dollars, he finds himself in San Miguel and spots a way to make money by playing the town's gangs against one another. [A Fistful Of Dollars](https://screenrant.com/tag/a-fistful-of-dollars/) first aired on ABC, an exclusive prologue was added to set up the story - but ruined the mystique of Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name in the process. Part of the appeal of That changed in the late '50 and '60s, especially with the arrival of [Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy](https://screenrant.com/dollars-trilogy-movies-order-connections-explained/).
