A titan of the big screen, it’s sometimes difficult to imagine that the legendary actor is now 92 years old.
Suffice to say that he’s seen and done it all, both in a professional capacity and a private one. Secrets, show-biz drama and salacious scandals, given that Clint has lived for almost 70 years in the searing spotlight, it’s unsurprising that he’s encountered his fair share of controversy.
Yet perhaps the biggest shock of his long life is one that not everyone is clued in on. Indeed, it’s one that the actor himself didn’t know about for a great many years.
When he found out, though, it would change his life in a big way …
Standing 6ft 4 in tall and possessive of rugged good looks and an oft-piercing gaze, it’s no great surprise that Clint Eastwood enjoyed the admiration of many a lady when he was in his prime.
All told, the actor is father to eight children, though for a long while he had no idea that was the case. No, Clint believed he had seven children for most of his life, until one day a woman claiming to be his daughter took him by surprise.
As per reports, while engaged to Maggie Johnson in the early 1950s – and before he became the illustrious name he is now – Eastwood had an affair with a woman in Seattle.
What he wasn’t to know was that she fell pregnant with his child, which she then put up for adoption after their relationship ended and they went their separate ways.
