The French Honor Clint Eastwood
They just made his day!
Clint Eastwood was bestowed a great honor from the French government today as he was made a commander in the prestigious French Legion of Honor. The Legion, which was established in 1802, recognizes individuals, French or otherwise, who have made major military, cultural, scientific or social contributions.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy warmly welcomed Clint and proceeded to step up his previous induction into the legion to a grade three on the legion's five-grade scale.
Though he spoke English, Clint thanked Sarkozy and the French people for the honor: "This is a wonderful honor. It is just a great pleasure for me. I really love France. I love movies, and I love the appreciation that the French people have for movies."
You would think the guy would learn a little French for the occasion! Maybe the old dog can't learn that trick.

A true icon! I loveeeeeee gran Torino ! He is also extremely talented with all the extra directing as well
Why in the hell would Clint need to learn any french for this. He's Clint F@ing EASTWOOD you stupid fat f@ck. Any I'm quite sure this "old dog" could still kick the living shit out of your fat ass any day of the week. You are the man Clint, and always will be.
Re: Unbelievable! –
yup he always will be. Note to the French: the rest of western europe may be up polanski's child rapist asshole but know that eastern europe has morales and upholds real men like clint and not deplorable rapists like polanski.
Pleeeeze… this all speaks too much of a photo op. Eastwood has been working all year to smooze the French… I smell a Cannes release that he hopes will finally get him a Palm D'Or and that is why he is spending so much time trying to build his French popularity. And what kind of award is it that you graduate to a higher level…? I am not really into Clint lately. I think his over effort to get popular in French media, even to smooze with chinese mafia according to some sources, is a little unethical and betrays his past as a politician and activist.
