The Truth About John Wayne And Clint Eastwood's Relationship
Вставка

- It may come as a surprise, but two of the Western genre's leading men, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, never appeared together in a film. Even though the two shared a lot of similarities, they could never find a way to see eye to eye, especially when it came to how cinema depicted American values.
They're both timeless, and they've both contributed countless, iconic classics to the world of film, so it's a shame that we never got a good old-fashioned Western where the two cowboys ride into town, fight injustice, and ride off into the sunset together. So why not? This is the truth about John Wayne and Clint Eastwood's relationship.

I'm a Wayne fan from way back. But I seriously doubt Eastwood lost any sleep over his opinions.
Eastwood wanted to do a movie with him first, so he might have a little. But he didn't really hold against him his dislike of High Plains Drifter.
Different eras different men...the eternal struggle about each new generation going to hell in a breadbasket. Both are legends and icons, both have cemented their place in history, and I love watching both of them, and admire both of them.
Jhon wayne is the true gift.
Clint Eastwood wasn’t afraid to try new ideas Play Misty For Me, Firefox, Any Which Way But Loose,The Mule etc something Wayne could never do..!!
Jhon wayne is the true grit
Clint Eastwood is an icon as far as I am concerned. ❤️🇦🇺
Child
Eastwood was such a handsome young man❤
He was the best looking and biggest jerk in Hollywood.
Apparently Clint cut an even bigger swath thru the women of Hollywood than he did bad guys in the movies.
Lmao lookn ass
You can like Clint all you want but he stands on the shoulders of Wayne who goes back to when “talkies” started. Tremendous era the Duke spanned.
As much as I like the Duke, I vote for Eastwood....he's the best.
The good the bad the ugly one of the greatest westerns ever made & the fact Eastwood is in it cements him as the best
I grew up watching both Eastwood and Wayne and enjoying both .
I mimic'd Wayne when doing acting in Oklahoma and Our Town on stage . The Bits of Humour in certain scenes was received well by the Audience .
I always wanted to inject a bit of Eastwood but never was able to line up in a production where I could work it in . My only regret ...
My Grand son loves the humour in the fight scenes in a John Wayne Film .
John Wayne & Clint Eastwood... the real Batman vs Superman!
OH MY GOD YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT
@@justinratcliffe947
Facts my bro
Clint Eastwood: Batman
John Wayne: Superman
Superman is an immigrant who loves humanity. Far away from John Wayne🤣
@@Jim-gk4so My thoughts exactly.
Always been a fan of John Wayne and still continue to be. I'm a fan of Eastwood too.. But their film styles were totally different. Wayne was a legend before Eastwood really got started. But this is my opinion.
No, that is a fact. Wayne was indeed a legend by 1955, whereas Clint didn't get his first small role until 57.
@@pookysdad4884 makes sense he's younger...
Eastwood's films always had firearms true to the time period. Wayne's only sometimes did.
Clint didn’t always use completely accurate guns he uses a Gatling gun in Josie wells Gatling guns were only experimented with at the very end of the civil war and it was a test firing
All American films always involved guns.😢
Two very different men, but both very much MEN, with different views. To pit them against each other is distasteful. They are both Gentlemen.
Denzel one of the greatest ever,never throws race card or politics.Knows the truth..Will always watch his movies and Morgan Freeman,Tell the Truth and keep politics.
John Wayne's dislike of High Plains Drifter is well documented. Though I like it myself, I do understand why he disliked it it just wasn't the old school type of western he liked to make and he didn't understand it was more of a fable than an accurate picture of the west. I've just always been curious if he ever saw Outlaw Josey Wales. It came out three years before he died, the same year he made the Shootist. I'm betting if he had seen that one his views of Clint's westerns would have changed. But then again, he might have taken issue with Eastwood's rather unflattering portrayal of the Union in that movie when Wayne himself usually portrayed the Union as pretty honorable. I've always been a fan of John Wayne, but I think his love for America and his somewhat overromanticized views of it may have caused him to be unwelcoming of a film that showed some of its more unsavory aspects. I think Wayne and Eastwood both loved America, but you have to be honest in your storytelling and Eastwood seemed far more willing than Wayne to show the dirtier side of the West and of America in his films. I think that's why a lot of people like Eastwood better. To me, they are both iconic figures and I honestly love watching both of their movies. Its really a shame they did not do a movie together, because you almost get the feeling that if they had you would have seen a reconciliation of both views of the west making the close to perfect western. that would have been something to see.
But sadly we grieve that loss of movies😪
Movie, but movies would a been a given if they had made one!!!!
I did love the John Wayne / Rock Hudson movie they made together that was a honorable portal of a Union commander vs. a Confederate one that really was no less honorable, the reason I loved this movoiecis because it portayed two sides that truly hated each other and their views, yet in the worst situation came together, even with the given wisecracks"God bless the South"!!!!!
Josh light very good analytical reasoning.
@Scott not really. The story behind that is a little more complicated than him being a simple draft dodger.
john waynes movies are more unbelievable goodietwoshoes and Clint Eastwood's movies were gritty and more believable, Clint played characters that you could relate to. His movies also wasn't afraid to show the darker side, and besides that I think john wayne disliked Clint so much because he was just plain jealous of him and his success. And as far as High Noon is concerned, john wayne never saw the day that he could ever stand in Gary Cooper's shadow
They are all great in the characters they portrayed period
@@michelburkett347 not hardly, period.
John Wayne is an Alpha male
Clint Eastwood is a Sigma male

Ugh that fake bs about Alfa and sigma males again
Sigmoid.
@@siriuslee3522 Don't forget betas like yourself.
John Wayne was a fraud who tried to act tough while real men served during WWII . I said Tried because I can't call it "acting".
They are two differant types of western actors. Wayne was more of a Marshall/Lawman and Clint is more of a bounty hunter gunslinger. Western fans should love them both but my vote goes to Clint as the greatest western actor.
Clint was, is and will always be the best. They don’t make movies like that anymore or actors like him.
He was a right wing racist.
And also directors.
They are both amazing actors. It would be hard for me to choose between them.
I have never seen a John Wayne film and I don't think I really have any desire to, especially now.
Your choice in missing out on some of the greatest films ever made...
Why do you have a clip of Gary Cooper (1901-1961) at the beginning of the video?
Gary Cooper was the star of "High Noon," an Adult Western. Marion Morrison preferred to "kid around."
I love both actors and watch them movies over and over again. Respect them and yes...... John Wayne has got not must Oscars but what is a oscar because its all about tast. Greetings from the Netherlands
Love them both, but Eastwood is by far the better actor.
John Wayne kept as near 100% Integrity on and off Screen as he knew how. (Because the majority in Hollywood, and elsewhere have not ; is what you are looking at today.)(Nevertheless ; Thank YOU GOD YOU PROMISED to give grace and mercy for the sake of those who have truly honored YOU!!!!! Amen !!!!!)
They're both great.
Clint Eastwood will always be remembered as The Greatest Western Star Actor of All Time,
Not to those who grew up on John Wayne in the 50s and 60s.
Are you hooked on phonics or never watched any of John Wayne’s movies?
He just speaks the truth. Eastwood, versatility. Wayne, interchangeable.
@@vvvhhhhhbb He speaks nonsense... Jonh Ford created Western (even destroyed and deconstructed it before Leone or Peckinpah)
and John Wayne was the intrument he used.
Clint Eastwood followed that path with greatness and excellency, but I don't think he ever reached the same heights. Sam Peckimpah was the closest one, probably, except if we count Kurosawa's samurai movies as westerns
John Wayne is the GOAT of all westerns .
I love them both😁
im kinda mad seeing how close we came to having a western staring the 2 men who defined that genre
really wish we got that movie ( Wayne probably would have played his kind of character to playoff of clints kind)
They were both 👏 and versatile from Hitari to Dirty Harry
They were both talented actors. ❤
Two legends.
I would love to see eastwood play Rooster Cogburn in True Grit. Wayne is an Icon, but i bet Eastwood could do it better
NOPE JOHN WAYNE WAS BORN TO BE ROOSTER COGBURN. CLINT EASTWOOD HAD HIS HITS BUT HE COULD NEVER BE ROOSTER---EVER!
@@sharonbenn9512 have to agree. I like Clint Eastwood but he wasn't Rooster Cogburn. I could see him playing Tom Doniphon in Man Who Shot Liberty Valance before Rooster, or maybe Ethan Edwards in the Searchers. A roll he actually praised Wayne for.
Eastwood and Tom Hanks can play any role
John wayne had a magnetic personality and tos of charisma he was a living legend.When Eastwood came along he probably thought he was an upstart and had professional jealously for him.Too bad because Eastwood became as legendary as wayne had been,only made much more money which wayne could have gotten a bit of it by being together in some movies withmEastwood,im sure clint probably thought the 2mof them in a movie would have gone blockbuster,and he was probably right about that,also he showed he respected wayne by asking him.....I loved them both and met Wayne in person when i worked at the ritz carleton in chicago in 1976!
John Wayne had a personality as magnetic - as a limp old sock ! 😊
Youre absolutely right here , of course its Clint Eastwood thats the Best of Them ,he could take almost any role other than western also , where eastwood wins over John Wayne ,Wayne is only playing the same cowboy and only western movies ,he has played two war movies also John Wayne but that is it. Eastwood had played different in his western movies not only AS the same cowboy on a Horse ,and the Best example here is Unforgiven the movie , he plays here different AS a cowboy so a like.
Eastwood has also made a Good action trilogy where Wayne has not, Dirty Harry no one Can do such a Good work here AS eastwood .
Of course some of Waynes movie are Good , but not all , most of Them are to bored, the same and the same , , Eastwood has also made more movies than Wayne much more AS he went older than Wayne. Cant understAnd why people sees Wayne so much better ,and what people sees in him ,they are overrating him more than he is, if we talks about acting performance Well he is a okay Good actor , but here again he is nothing like James Dean was , , here is an example of that Wayne isnt even Close to James Dean in acting performance .
So if Clint eastwood was compared to James Dean maybe James Dean wins in acting performance .but he is the only one i Can find
It's ridiculous to compare John Wayne to Clint Eastwood. That would be like comparing a Citroen 2CV with a Ferrari.
2 greatest ever. They woulda made a great film. That’s to bad it never got to happen. I sense Wayne was jealous.
Nah, not a chance. Respect, if anything.
The closest miss: Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood in "Where Eagles Dare."
@@pookysdad4884 WAYNE was already a legend. whats he to be jealous for? even now hes still highly revered.
Both Stars Clint Eastwood and John Wayne is and will be some of the finest western actors that ever lived but John Wayne was a legend before Clint Eastwood was even on the TV screen Wayne was a man's man and he'll always be a icon clean the Eastwood is a very well known and a very good actor and director and producer who was the better man everybody has their own opinions about everything that doesn't matter it is what it is
Hi.
Clint was much more versatile in his craft than Wayne, he could play any role to perfection, Wayne not so much , but folk’s enjoyed his films 👀… Sound’s like Old John was jealous of the better, younger, more handsome actor .
John was true to himself and his principles and he didnt really care for the ways clint did things but neither were really wrong in their ways. Clint was somewhat changing with the times but Wayne couldnt care less with appeasing the new generation. and did what he did best. i've never watched any western. but just from this video i was able to tell what kind of man john was. RESPECT.

I can't believe anyone would even ask this question.
Clint Eastwood > John Wayne, IMO.
no
Watch Clint eastwood if you want grit..watch Jhon wayne if you want the true grit
John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. The Classic Old Bull and Young Bull face off. The Cycle or Life
Wayne perpetuated the myth that is the American West, Eastwood takes a more realistic approach.
DO YOU RESEARCH!! The role of Dirty Harry was offered to John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Burt Lancaster and George C. Scott, all of whom obviously passed for their own reasons. John Wayne sent the letter to Clint as soon as the movie High Plains came out, not because of The Hostiles scripts. Clint did only did one rewrite to address John's concerns, and they may have gotten together. However John did not read it, thinking it was just the same old crap he already rejected, and tossed it.
"I don't shoot anyone in the back"
"Clint Eastwood would've shot em in the back"
Lol
Wayne can chew on a pair of socks for all I care.
He is kinda overrated to be honest. Even Clint has achieved more than Wayne did
@@justinratcliffe947 Eastwood's more recognizable than Wayne will ever be.
Considering he died in 1978, I doubt he will.
@@GideonMadu You young kids make me laugh. I'd call it "recency bias", but Clint ain't exactly a new kid on the block! 😂
@@pookysdad4884 You old people make me laugh. Clint was outshining Wayne as soon as he shot to stardom. Wayne was already old news to begin with.
Just say you're nothing more than a bootlicker to Wayne who's jealous of Clint Eastwood.
all i hear is clint was a better and more versatile actor in comparison
He is.
WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER J WAYNE ON EITHER MERV GRIFFIN OR MIKE DOUGLAS. WHEN ASKED ABT HIS HATRED FOR HORSES, HE LAUGHED AND SAID "I HATED THOSE PARTS. I USE TO JAB'M IN THE SIDE JUST SO I COULD PROVE THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME!" WONDER WHAT THE ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUPS THOUGHT OF THAT RESPONSE? ALSO WAS ASKED ABT THE COMMENT ABT HIM NOT WANTING TO ACT WITH BLACKS. TRIED TO SWEEP THAT UNDER THE RUG. LOVE CLINT E FROM HERE TO THE MOON! VERY DOWN TO EARTH, SMART, VERSITILE, SOUNDMINDED HUMAN BEING.
Clint Eastwood is a good actor. John Wayne was a actor
1:53 John Wayne NEVER made racist remarks, you have to read the full interview and understand the context.. Though blunt language was used, he said no person of any race should be given a job he was not qualified for over another who was. In other words he did not believe in affirmative action. He said if a Black man was qualified for a position he should get it, if a white man was qualified he should get the job. Curiously the supreme Court of the USA has just reaffirmed what John Wayne was trying to get across. Affirmative action is not constitutional. At least in Universities. If you have the will and the ambition and drive to educate yourself to the appropriate level to meet admission standards, no matter your race or background you should get into the University of choice through merits.
Eastwood v Wayne
Stallone v Schwarzenegger
Well I just want to comment on.. four-who would have been a better actor. For the role in dirty Harry.. for me it's a Dead ringer Clint Eastwood... One-hundred-percent . Nailed it.... In my opinion John Wayne would have been completely out of character.. and would not have messed with not just the demeanor of the script just the atmosphere in general.... Just my opinion maybe I like Clint Eastwood.. just with his versatility... Inability to. Take on other roles...... John Wayne is John Wayne but it's just my opinion he belong .. western movies only... He just doesn't have the mechanics and Dynamics... do you feel lucky today punk!. 😆No offense to John Wayne fans. Thanks for uploading ..
He was offered a star ENROLL??
Clint Eastwood is talented and has a great sense of humor. John Wayne had none of these attributes and so jealousy played a role in his rejection of Clint. John Wayne is overrated, he is an actor, nothing more. I have more respect for a plumber who can fix things. John Wayne couldn't fix anything.

Fast talking... stop man!
Business relationship. Money talk only.
Relationship? Listen to half of the married couple what they honestly think about it...
Never compare people.
Somehow, different time and aproach to the arts give some balance.
I found Clint much closer to Gary in versatility than John...
So many legendary acters are gone we older people did enjoy watching. New generations have their own heroes.
John Wayne Is Very Will Like To This Day. John Wayne Almost Allway's Played The HER0 Forever More ...!
Around 1980 I Met John Wayne Standing Under The Shade 0f A Tree's Just 0utside "Knot's Berry Farm" Main Entrance.
We Talk About His Movies And John Wayne Really Like 'Rowan And Martin' "Laugh In TV" Show. Where He Was Became The Show's Part Time Announcer.
He Said He Came To 'Knot's Berry Farm Entertainment Theme Park' (LA) To Say Thank You To All His Fate Full Fans Watching Him Playing The All His Western And Action Movie's...!
Had to be a couple years earlier, he died in late 78 or early 79.

As I have grown older, I have increased my Wayne library. His….resonates more in my years. I own all Clint’s westerns. The good guy is what Wayne shows, not the bad guy pretending to be good. Other than Josie Wales…..When did he really do “Good work”?
Clint Eastwood will always be remembered as The Greatest Western Star Actor of All Time,Followed by John Wayne(The Duke)As the 2nd Greatest Western Star Actor of All Time!
Im a Charles Bronson fan as well
Fact
The duke was a bad man himself. 2 different generations each the best of there time.
I'd flip that around, even though I'm a much bigger fan of Clint. His characters were flawed, a mix of good and bad, where Wayne's were more idealized and virtuous. His characters were always firm in his beliefs, whereas Clint's could be conflicted, which I find far more realistic and interesting. Anyhow, Clint made about 15 Westerns, Wayne made about 50, in the heyday of Westerns.
May the Western Gods forgive you for your sins! This being the biggest!
I'm what men are made of- John Wayne
John Wayne was the best for western!
wayne not in same st as clint.
I never understood the appeal of John Wayne ! His kind of macho-macho acting, and always playing John Wayne in every movie, did not appeal to me ! - But then we all got different tastes ! -
awill tell u wut pilgrims ....if ya want actin chops . I swar neither ofem could get in the ring with Andre' the giant
Clint isn't "conservative" He said he's "libertarian" and so did his son scott saying that his dad is a "total libertarian" i can link the interviews if you want. but now, clint says he's a "political nothing" because both parties are "drunken sailrors"
John Wayne, the greatest white man to ever live - uncle ruckus (no relation)
Amen 🙏..resorted to the same morality too
John Wayne was the best !
Wayne went Into more violent movies to cash in on the present trend
Big Jake the cowboys even the shootist were quite violent!
Whereas the train robbers was
More of a comedy!
Both had trouble with their
Marriages
Handling real life situations
Not the same as acting!
Wayne rose to fame in the absence of just about every male actor who went off to serve in WWII--their absence opened up a vast number of roles he could take for the asking; yet, Wayne thereafter portrayed himself as a patriotic American, when he was, as usual, so full of himself, as he had the pick of roles to play. He was a rambling, mumbling, solo act who thought himself better than everyone else in that arena. Having never served, he never earned the right to judge ANYONE who did. While I enjoyed his movies as a kid, they were still hammy and popcorn fodder. True Grit--which he didn't like because of his animosity toward Kim Darby--was one of his better films, but those are few and far between his mostly silly movies. Wayne was a hack, a charlatan, an unfaithful husband and a self-appointed judge of all things--even acting, which he was barely any good at, a judgmental hack to his very few friends and everyone else. He had no credibility in the things he supposedly stood for. He never could hold a candle to the VAST MAJORITY of actors who went off to serve in the war, yet he convinced himself he held the standard for patriotism. He was then, and remains, a fraud.
Ya. That’s why when WWII broke out he immediately tried to enlist in the navy but was turned down. He was very depressed about that. Most of the ‘Vast Majority’ of actors who enlisted were given Cush jobs or positions. There were some that saw action, and some even injured. But most people do not know that John Wayne did try to enlist. They just run their mouth because he wasn’t there. Do your research before you condemn.....
@@jeffwilder7117 That was just a publicity stunt. Moron.
How long did YOU serve in the military???

Clint was great but The Duke was greater

An actor shouldn't pick a role based on ideological reasoning. Instead he should pick a role based on the quality of the script. @Grunge should be ashamed of themselves for being merchants of wokeism.
The duke was 100 percent right
Yep, it was right for Marion Morrison to move from B movies to A movies by NOT enlisting for World War II service. (For the record, my father, who is/was about MM's age, put his elementary teaching career on hold and signed on with the 442nd RCT. He had to beg to get his job back when he returned, since the Department of Public Instruction took a dim view of such "frivolous actions.")
John Wayne was wooden and never directed Oscar winners. Clint wipes the floor with his pitiful carcass
Lol
JW is the Greatest Western Actor ever
If you don't understand the difference between John Wayne and Clinton Eastwood you have very little understanding. Clint is ok but the Duke is the king and I think Mr Eastwood understands that. At least he seems to.
Both were closet cross dressers
🤣🤣🤣
That's what they said about Bruce Jen--- oh, wait. Never mind.🤣
Personally I think Eastwood is a much more rounded actor in comparison to Wayne who is one dimensional.
The biggest difference is Eastwood could take any role and own it, where John Wayne played the same character in every movie.
You're 100% Accurate on that
Eastwood didn't? BTW, might want to watch The Searchers.
Did John Wayne really play the same character in every movie? If so, then it reminds me of Keanu Reeves playing the same character in Constantine, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Matrix Reloaded, and Matrix Revolutions.
I think this is a misperception. Eastwood is a good actor and did play some different roles but there was a lot of similarity in many of Eastwood's characters lets face it. He was mostly the badass with that sour puss disposition with some variations of how unstable here and there. Wayne gets trashed a lot for his similar characters, but he did so because at the time that is what people wanted. But they were not exactly the same. Rooster Cogburn was a pretty long way from Mr Anderson in the Cowboys, Ethan Edwards in the Searchers was a long way from his character in McClintock. I think nostalgia critic joked that he couldn't see John Wayne playing the Joker. But I can't exactly see Clint Eastwood playing the Joker either.
