Clint Eastwood just made Mitt Romney’s day.
The Oscar-winning director and movie star is endorsing the Republican presidential candidate.
Eastwood said yesterday he’s backing Romney because, in Eastwood’s words, “I think the country needs a boost.”
He also joked, “God, this guy is too handsome to be governor, but he does look like he could be president.’’
Eastwood was at a Romney fund-raiser in Sun Valley.
In February, Eastwood told Fox News that he wasn’t supporting any politician at that time. Some saw the “halftime in America” ad he made for the Super Bowl as a nod toward President Obama. Eastwood responded then by saying he was not “politically affiliated” with the president.
Eastwood won Academy Awards for directing and producing “Unforgiven” and “Million Dollar Baby” and starred in those films as well as the Dirty Harry movies.
