We all know and love movie star and director Clint Eastwood.

With countless movie awards he has, for many years, been the symbol of masculinity for his iconic roles, not to mention his role in politics.

His personal life is not something he shouts about but the 89-year-old star has had his fair share of romances; as well as being married twice he has seven ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅren.

But now Eastwood has revealed a story that connects him to one of his iconic movies; a story that he has kept quiet about for decades.

Old Hollywood & Beauty / FacebookThe longest running movie star in Hollywood was ๐›๐จ๐ซ๐ง in 1930 in San Francisco during the Great Depression. He has one younger sister.

His father was a steel worker and the family moved around a lot during his youth.

He was nicknamed Samson at ๐›๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ก and he weighed an astonishing 11 pounds 6 ounces. He eventually grew to be 6 feet 4 inches tall.

Clint Eastwood Quotes and Photos / FacebookAfter high school he moved to Seattle where he worked as a lifeguard before being drafted into the United States Army in 1950, according to Wikipedia.

But, what many donโ€™t know is that, at 21 years old, Eastwood was a passenger on a World War II-era Naval aircraft that crashed in the Pacific.

โ€œI was catching a free ride from Seattle down to Almeda,โ€ Eastwood said in an interview with The Telegraph.

โ€œIt was stormy and we went down off of Point Reyes, California, in the Pacific. I found myself in the water swimming a few miles towards the shore. I remember thinking, โ€˜well, 21 is not as long as a person wants to live.โ€™โ€

Clint Eastwood Quotes and Photos / FacebookRadio for helpEastwood spent several hours in the Pacific, where he swam his way through beds of kelp before reaching shore and climbing up a cliff to radio for help.

This experience came to be very useful when he was directing the 2016 biographical movie Sully: Miracle on the Hudson starring Tom Hanks.

The award-winning movie shows the 2009 emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, in which all 155 passengers and crew survived.

In the movie Captain Chesley โ€œSullyโ€ Sullenberger made the split second decision to land the plane in the freezing cold waters of the Hudson River, a decision that was later challenged by his seniors.

โ€œI suppose having been in a similar situation as the pilot, I would have chanced a water landing rather than go someplace where thereโ€™s no runway,โ€ Eastwood said in The Telegraph interview.

โ€œAnd of course, Sully was familiar with that areaโ€ฆhe picked the right spotโ€ฆHe knew that somebody would see themโ€ he continued.

Daily Clint Eastwood / FacebookDespite the miraculous landing that Sully managed to negotiate and the lives he saved it was what came after that impressed Eastwood more.

โ€œAnybody who keeps their wits about them when things are going wrong, who can negotiate problems without panicking, is someone of superior character, and interesting to watch on film,โ€ Eastwood said.

โ€œBut for me, the real conflict came after, with the investigative board questioning his decisions, even though he had saved so many lives.โ€

Clint Eastwood has had a remarkable career. Find out more in the video below.

Even at 89, he is still handsome, working, and so talented. Thank you for making such good movies.

Decades of starring in movies makes this man a living legend. Please share with all your friends if you agree!
