The filmmaker was spotted attending a speaking event hosted by renowned conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall in his adopted hometown of Carmel-by-the-Sea late last month.

At 93, the film icon, dressed in a blue plaid flannel shirt, gray pants and sneakers, looked elderly but still in high spirits, images obtained by DailyMail.com show.

At 93 years old, the legendary actor, dressed in a blue plaid flannel shirt, gray pants and sneakers, looked elderly but still in great spirits.
Eastwood, who turns 94 next month, sat front and center at the $95 ticket event and joined the renowned primatologist backstage at the reception.
Eastwood and Goodall were seen having a one-on-one conversation during a special appearance at the event’s VIP reception at the Sunset Cultural Center.
Eastwood, whose thick white beard and hair were on display, was accompanied by an assistant but was cheerful enough to take the stage on his own.
The March 24 event, presented by Wildlife Conservation Network, was billed as a stop on fellow nonagenarian Jane Goodall’s ’90th birthday tour,’ according to the venue’s website.
Goodall celebrated the milestone days later, on April 3.
TO photo shared by an attendee on social networks showed Goodall and a ‘very disheveled Clint Eastwood’ chatting at the reception, which took place an hour before the main event.
Like the primatologist, the Hollywood legend is no stranger to primates, having starred in the 1978 film ‘Every Which Way but Loose’ alongside fellow orangutan Clyde.
Eastwood, who turns 94 next month, has had a successful film career, and even a two-year stint as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, over a span of seven decades.

And while the acclaimed star is best known for her award-winning films and spaghetti westerns, her colorful love life often overshadowed her impressive advancements in the film industry.
The Hollywood legend went through multiple failed marriages, faced numerous accusations of infidelity, and fathered eight children with six different women over the years.
But despite being embroiled in scandal after scandal and earning a fierce reputation as a womanizer, it has been said that Clint was an extremely dedicated father who worked tirelessly to protect each of his children and give them as normal a childhood as possible.
She raised her children on a ranch in Carmel, California, far from the hustle and glitz of Hollywood, where they were surrounded by nature and animals.
One of his sons, Scott, once reflected on his upbringing: “There was no handouts. It was not so.
“It was like, ‘Get a job.’ If you want something, go out and get a job and make a career for yourself.”
Eastwood, whose storied film career spans seven decades, rose to fame with his roles in spaghetti westerns. He appears in the 2021 neo-western drama Cry Macho.
The success of his Dollars trilogy with Sergio Leone led to bigger roles, such as in 1971’s Dirty Harry (pictured), and that year he made his directorial debut with Play Misty For Me.
Clint Eastwood had eight children with six different women over the years. He is seen with three of his children in 2018.
His daughter Morgan has also insisted: “I had an average American childhood for the most part.
“I think a big part of that was because I grew up in a small town away from the spotlight.”
While Clint did his best to shield his children from public attention when they were little, he did the complete opposite once they grew up.
In fact, he gave almost all of his children – except his eldest daughter, Laurie Murray, who was put up for adoption and didn’t discover that the star was her father until decades later – roles in his films when it was time for them to start. their careers.

And while it may have helped them get their foot in the door, most of them ultimately failed to break into the industry and left Hollywood to pursue other careers.
