“Why didn’t he want to do it?”: Clint Eastwood Was Hardly Afraid of Taking on His Most Iconic Role After Paul Newman Turned It Down

Clint Eastwood has made a lot of movies, both as an actor and as a director. He is a legend in both professions and the entertainment industry has heavily respected him. He has not only worked with some of the most acknowledged actors but they have nothing but praise for him. Even with such a big filmography, there have been movies that were earlier rejected by some of the most iconic actors only for Eastwood to take them on.

One such role also happened to be his most iconic role to date. Dirty Harry was not only the role that gave Eastwood the boost he needed, but it put him on the board, making his career an uphill journey from then on. However, it almost went to another actor altogether.
