Clint Eastwood Calls Interview Run in Hollywood Trades Where he Criticized Sequels and Remakes “Entirely Phony”

Legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood is pushing back against an interview cited in an article by journalist Elisabeth Sereda for Kurier, a German language newspaper published in Vienna, Austria. The original interview, which appeared on the Kurier website on Friday May 30th, was translated and aggregated across other platforms like Variety, Reuters, and Deadline.

The only problem was that Clint Eastwood, according to the legendary Western star himself, never gave an interview to Kurier.
