Eastwood, 95, accused a small Austrian publication of running a “phony” Q. and A. with him. It turns out the quotes were aggregated from previous interviews.

Clint Eastwood is calling out fake news. The 95-year-old actor and director released a statement Monday stating that Austrian newspaper Kurier published a fake interview with him last week for his birthday. In the “phony” interview, Eastwood allegedly slammed Hollywood’s growing reliance on sequels and remakes.

Clint Eastwood says a recent viral article of a purported interview with him and Austrian newspaper 'Kurier' never happened.
