What a beautiful speech, well deserved Clint!
CLINT IS THE MOST CHARMING, CHARISMATIC, HUMBLE, & ONE OF THE GREATEST LOOKING MEN OF ALL TIME! Thx, MR. Eastwood!!
He has had a hall of fame career AFTER this on it's own merit!!
It's incredible that they gave him this award at a time when everyone thought he'd got his Oscars, had built an impressive body of work and would now quietly retire. Nobody could have forseen the rich and varied masterpieces that lay ahead as this man moved into his 70's. And yet in a way perhaps we should have done. Because nobody has ever had a career like Clint Eastwood. Nobody.
And nobody ever will. Well said.
Simply the Best
how about Gene Hackman.
@@Randomguy11330 they better get a move on as Gene is now 92
@@skygazer6898 yes for real, I also think that Gene isn't praised enough regarding his talent and the variety of great movies he was in.
Life achievement award over 2 decades ago and he is still going!
What a Man.
Clint is a legend today at 91.
Simply the Best
What a legend
It's amazing to think of all the great work he's done SINCE he got the award!
Thank you sir, carry on.
Thanks for all mr.Eastwood!
So talented in so many ways. Those masterpiece musical compositions are unbelievable. His son now does them too...what can't Clint Eastwood do??? Nothing. God bless him.
He is soooo humble....!!!!
Adorable..
My favourite actor of all time
One of the best actors ever. 👌
Everybody loves him. Look at the faces of people the proud they show.
Coolest guy, even now at 91 years old!😯😯😯😯😯
I saw this live on TV. It was awesome then….. and awesome again!
So many masterpieces after this
wow...There are only two actors that I absolutely love...Eastwood AND Nicholson..i am proud of both
If you watch Clint here, or on the utube vid with he and Ali on a talk show almost 3 decades before this in 1969 you will see that he's almost exactly the same. Think about that, in almost 30 yrs with about as much success as a man can have there is STILL no ego on the man, just a polite, easy going, and totally respectful man that is comfortable in his own skin. He is as big of Hollywood name as anyone but there's absolutely nothing "Hollywood" about him. Go Clint!
What a man always makes my day ;-)
still lookin good clint
What a man he is ...what a man....humility, softness, badass(in tje screen), kindness, personality NO.1 ...all in one human - Clint Eastwood.
They should have waited another 15 yrs on this man. He seems to turn out his best work in his golden years
Have loved everything about since first movie I saw of him he gets better with age we need more like mr clint eastwood
Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger.. My heroes on film since I was like 6y old. Clint is older than life and all the better for it. I figured out a few years back that all my heroes will die before I kick the bucket... And that is a sad notion. They will b remembered always. So in a way they have become immortal.
1 person made Clint's day.
Absolute legend ⭐️
Clint is mist wonderful charming, admired person, I love to see all his movies, 👋 ❤️
Love him SOOO much just want to hug and smooch his thin lips hes so BLESSED by GOD GOD bless u sir
He had an incredible hall of fame career AFTER this award
I'll see you again! What does that tell you about Clint Eastwoods career! He just might become the 2nd AFI recipient later on because he is still cranking out beautiful pictures
clint eastwood is a true movie legend pure fact , for not sayn movie icon.
happy 93th birthday clinton eastwood jr !!!!
He’s everything.
When I feel low, I see God in him, his expressions to turn around and definitely you are, ought to be, you are there, Where Eagles Dare....
Nice Summarization, I think we both feel the same way about him, he’s a bad mother!
The family and I just watched Gran Torino. After growing up with those awesome westerns in the 70s and 80's it's one of his movies that somehow we missed. What a great story, acting and directing job. Just saw star wars too which we loved but I have to say if I had to pick between them I'd vote Gran Torino. After watching this AFI achievement clip it shows how humble a person he is. Way to go Clint.
Fantastic actor, loved all his movies, best for me was Where Eagles Dare...
We will never forget
LOVE HIM!
Yea, he will be seeing everyone again after his masterpiece "American Sniper" hits the screens and he wins again for Best Director and Best Picture in 2015
Are you suggesting Eastwood is a poor Director? I am suggesting he has done his best work as a Director and there is more to come from him!
GOOD FOR YOU CLINT EASTWOOD...T.Y. FOR UR SHOWS.
Not very many like him - in fact, nóne like Clint, really...
He needs a 2nd one of these
Sweet man!
same here man!!
...and Sutherland and Eastwood acted in Space Cowboys...it seems to me that Mr. Eastwood is a very loyal person, works with people that made good work with him previously. Nice to see that.
l
My girlfriend and myself sometimes would see him jog on the beach in Carmel. He was NOT mobbed by anyone and I thought that to be cool - that the locals respected him so much.
LEGEND at 94
How could 9 people actually dislike this to the point where they needed to deliberately click the Dislike button? That's a lot of dislike, considering they could've merely moved on to another page.
A real perfect Gentleman
17years :)
If Clint Eastwood is the ultimate badass in all the world, his mom (at 0:53) was even more badass. What else could she be, if at one of the Academy Awards, in the red carpet, she turns to him, in front of all the cameras, and starts pinching Mr. Eastwood´s cheek, just like he was a small kid? Awesome.
Dear AFI: u need to release all full shows to utube
They should have waited another 15 years to give him this. The man is still putting out brilliant work.
Feel lucky, punk????!!! My all time favorite actor, loved & have all his spaghetti westerns & Dirty Harry movies ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Few men deserved this award more than he did.
Those few don't exist
U loser probrly
This was a premature award for Eastwood. He is turning out his greatest work in his 80's. They will have to have a 2nd AFI for him and he will speak again in his 90's because his mom lived a long time
yeah clint!
Amazing to see a group of people of vastly differing political persuasions gathering in one place to applaud another's work, all politics aside. How times have changed
You may already know this fact, but Cagney was Eastwood's movie idol.
Ben Schockley
And Jimmy Stewart!
@@Der1Einzige Yes, he was rhapsodic about many of that generation like Cooper, Grant, Fonda ...
You Can Do It. mix entertaining What's happening, guys. !!
He’s the best, he’s always been my favorite, I admire his hard ass ways along with his integrity and humility, he’s a huge inspiration to anyone that wants to have a long and happy life, with hard times as well but nothing has ever gotten old Clint down! NO I don’t worship any celebrities or have any weird obsession with Clint Eastwood but no doubt he’s the best, Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington would be tied for 2nd in my book, and we’ll put Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt at a close 3rd, what do you guys think? Who’s your top 3? This is actually research for a class, I’m 34 by the way, leave your age too if you don’t mind, seriously it’s for research but I didn’t know what my project was going to be until now, help me out!
2:44 Rene Russo awoooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Film Legend. I couldn't describe all the reasons he is, nor should I have to, in under 500 characters. So I'll just leave it at that.
One last thought, and it's sad to say, but enjoy the rest of his stuff.
4.00 take notes not with what he says but what he does

I'm always confused by this whole awards thing, cause what he says "you need lots of elements of luck to make it" so at what point does it change from "I'm so lucky to get this part" to "Give him/her an award" let's face it, nearly every actor, given the luck, could be huge in the industry, and I think it's important also for all the people standing out in the rain on premiere night to remember, the Stars you're all scrambling to see are really just very VERY lucky & are just like you!!!
+Andy Roo Luck gets you noticed, gets your foot in the door. But I've done enough acting to realize that it's skill that gets you a 57-year (so far) career of consistently great work. Clint has been looking for, and finding, a different way to do everything he does for that long.
+Andy Roo Gary Player said "the harder i practice the luckier i get"
a lot of actors are just lucky and not talented but you will find they will do a few films then drop off. the talented actors will keep going and keep producing great films
not everyone can be a great actor and clint eastwood is being humble by saying it was luck
personally i think he is a better director than actor and the films he directors are really amazing that very few could beat
so to say they are just lucky is wrong
I don't believe in God ...... But if there was one, he sure is. Taught me a lot of things that I am today, and taught me a lot of things I can never be ...
American Film Institute Please upload Don Rickles roasting Clint from this evening.
+Tbritt2112 watch?v=v-oItsU_l4c
Thank you :)
+Tbritt2112 You're welcome:) I figured you must have found it by now, but maybe someone else was looking.
+Cowcharge Actually, I hadn't. I'd forgotten about this post. :P
+Tbritt2112 Glad I could fulfill that life-long desire, then :)
When Clint Eastwood passes away, the world will lose 50% of its balls and 50% of its coolness.
He sure had pretty hair and a nice haircut
True God- makes everyone else look like adolescent kids fumbling with the bra in the backseat. Even people like Harrison Ford.
What is the name of the lady sitting next to Donald Sutherland? 3:13
@cleon29warrior it's where they made kellys heroes.
WTF! In 1996 far to soon i would give him now 2018 but not back then
Its for my fifth
so he has directed about 20movies and acted in about 9movies sense he got this award, they should give him another one haha ;D
What he said about Yugoslavia? I didn't understand it.
When was this Life Achievement Award was given to John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, Burt Lancaster, Olivia de Havilland, Jean Simmons, Deborah Kerr?. Never!, then it means nothing
Would love to see Kyle Eastwood make that squint...bet he´ll look just like his dad, lol
Gran Torino baby
@juffurey oh wait, this is over ten years ago. i thought he looked younger
122.000 views
@PaleFolklore13 They could give him another one :)
what you talking aboutclint eastwood cant die
Only 68K views so far? Pretty pathetic for the actor who has emulated James Cagney!
Oohh, Renee Russo...(droool!!)
Yeah I didn't like that either, it was in very poor taste.
J. Edgar and Hereafter weren't very good movies and Invictus was okay at best.
That's just my opinion. Problem is, Trouble with the Curve doesn't look very good either.
haha all hail dirty harry
I don't think that's possible. You can't get two life time achievement awards.
If the AFI waited that long, Eastwood would be walking with a cane while talking to an empty chair.
well his last few films weren't really that good.
Another one trick pony. He lost my admiration after his stunt at the RNC.
One trick pony's don"t last as long nor are they as successful as Clint Eastwood. Silly comment really. I doubt you ever admired him.
Oh ,so your a Biden fan.are you proud of what he has done to our country ?
With Heston and Peck we have the true and last real MEN ACTORS; not the young ball-less crap today on screens, or the fake monsters played by Reid, Boehner, and that living 'puke' with legs: Obama-Mama.
Clint Eastwood is a CHUMP!
