Is Clint Eastwood dead or alive

Clint Eastwood is very much alive and well. According to the Mirror, a source told Radar Online:

‘Clint has always enjoyed great health and been vital and active despite his advancing age, but the fact that he hasn’t been around as much lately has a lot of people in Hollywood worried about him.

However, Military News is not a reputable source of news about celebrity deaths.

At the time of this writing, the channel had posted death hoax videos about actor Denzel Washington and singer Randy Travis within the previous two days.

Furthermore, had Eastwood really died, reputable news publications, such as The Associated Press, would have memorialized him with obituaries on their websites.

That had not happened at the time of this writing. We also did not find an announcement of his death on his official X account.
