What are you effing doing? Is that true? Did you speak to him in those terms?
I did.

Chapter 5: What sparked the protests in the UK over Henry Novak's death?
Let that sink in. No motive was given. If convicted, both men face a maximum sentence of five years in prison. And according to his son, Clint Eastwood has officially retired from Hollywood. The superstar just turned 96 years old, celebrating his birthday just this past Sunday. He began his career over seven decades ago with his first appearance on the 1960s television show, Rawhide.
He then shot to stardom across several classic Westerns, including Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy, and eventually moved to directing as well. He made several Oscar-winning films, such as Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and American Sniper. Altogether, he has 70 films to his name. His last directorial outing was two years ago for Juror No. 2.

And while we're all hoping for another return from the American icon, it seems Eastwood is taking his own advice from another of his classics, 1973's Magnum Force.
Man's got to know his limitations.
