Eastwood, 95, accused a small Austrian publication of running a “phony” Q. and A. with him. It turns out the quotes were aggregated from previous interviews.

Clint Eastwood says a recent viral article of a purported interview with him and Austrian newspaper 'Kurier' never happened.

All the quotes come from the archives of the now-defunct Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The author of the article, Elisabeth Sereda, told IndieWire that "he [Eastwood] is certainly familiar with the HFPA — having given more than 20 interviews to the group dating back to 1976.”
