London, Nov 23: After a career spanning more than 50 years, Clint Eastwood is set to retire from acting.
The 78-year-old, whose iconic roles include Dirty Harry, the cop with .44 Magnum revolver, the most powerful handgun in the world, has said that he has no plans to appear in films again after starring in Gran Torino, a drama about a racist veteran of the Korean War.
“That will probably do it for me as far as acting is concerned,” the Daily Express quoted him, as saying.
“You always want to quit while you are ahead. You don’t want to be like a fighter who stays too long in the ring until you’re not performing at your best,” he added.
