PO'd,

I can tell you this. I met Clint Eastwood and had dinner with him late one night. He was a very nice man and not at all stuck up, etc.

He was in the middle of directing a movie and I had watched earlier in the day as he had been very patient with a woman who was insisting on her picture being taken with him when she would not lisiten when he was trying to explain to her that he was directing and didn't want the flash to go off in front of his eyes as that would affect his vision. The woman ignored him and kept on insisting. He smiles a kind of sad, wry smile and gave her the picture she wanted.

It is. I saw a picture of his two year old girl this morning and she was a doll. A lady that lived close to them said he walked around with her on his back all the time. Sounds like he was a good dad, so sad she will not have him now.

I'm with CC1 - his role in the Patriot was awesome and he worked hard at not being pegged as certain "type" actor.

Glad she wasn't in his picture. He may have had to rape her. I saw two films where he did this stupid idiot stunt. Sorry, I can't change my imagine of him.

They do get involved. Pardon the quote, but it was necessary to the conversation.

Sandra Bullock dated the son of a family friend of ours in Austin for a time. When she made "Hope Floats" my son had one line in the movie (got cut in editing) and is in a couple of scenes.

He knew the little boy that was starring as the son in the film from having met him in Los Angeles so they were hanging out on the set between takes. The boy introduced my son to Sandra Bullock and she shocked him by saying "I have heard about you. You are a good actor!". I never asked them but I am assuming our friends who she was friends with must have mentioned him to her. My son didn't want to wash his hand that he had shaken hands with SB with. LOL.

I wonder if method acting can be compared to people changing their lives simply by how they allow themselves to think and speak? For instance, my son can be so negative and as a result, he gets very depressed sometimes. I told him that he can literally change his moods and emotions by changing the way he speaks and thinks. So I wonder if method actors are literally CHANGING their lives when they really get into their roles. Almost like a person who tells a lie so much that they begin to believe it themselves.

His role might have been good but I found The Patriot so boring. I couldn't stay awake. I don't know if it was just the evening I watched it or what. LOL.
