Eastwood Hoping For Quiet Drink On 80th Birthday
By WENNMonday, May 31, 2010
Hollywood icon CLINT EASTWOOD has banned his wife DINA from celebrating his 80th birthday, insisting he stopped marking the anniversary when he turned 70.
The Dirty Harry star reaches the milestone on Monday (31May10) but he is hoping for a quiet one because he doesn’t believe in being showered with gifts at such an advanced age.
He says, “Once you get in the 70s, several things happen. One is, you stop celebrating birthdays. I’ve forbidden my wife. I said, ‘Please, no birthday things.’ I don’t need to pretend to open a gift and say, ‘This is just what I wanted.’
“I said, ‘Don’t get me anything. We’ll just have a glass of wine.’”
Eastwood wed 44-year-old Dina, his second wife, in 1996.
