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.

All the quotes come from the archives of the now-defunct Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The author of the article, Elisabeth Sereda, told IndieWire that "he [Eastwood] is certainly familiar with the HFPA — having given more than 20 interviews to the group dating back to 1976.”

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.
