Clint Eastwood will be speaking at the Republican Convention in Tampa on Thursday according to Fox News. The network’s website is reporting that a GOP source confirmed “that Eastwood is indeed the mystery speaker”. Thursday night’s line-up has a “To Be Announced” speaker scheduled ahead of Senator Marco Rubio and GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney himself. Eastwood’s name was floated earlier this week as the speaker along with former VP nominee Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and even a hologram of former President Ronald Reagan. No stranger to politics, Eastwood served as the Mayor of Carmel, California from 1986 to 1988. He supported John McCain in 2008 and endorsed Mitt Romney earlier this month at a Sun Valley fundraiser. “Now more than ever do we need Mitt Romney, I’m going to be voting for him,” the Oscar winner said as the GOP nominee stood next to him on August 4. If Eastwood is really heading to Tampa to speak Thursday evening, he’s going to have to get going soon. Deadline has learned that as of Wednesday afternoon, the actor/director was still at his home in Carmel. Eastwood’s latest film, Trouble With The Curve comes out on September 21, 2012.

Couldn’t care less about the guy’s politics, the man is a true legend and has had one of the all-time great Hollywood careers. I’ll watch just about anything that has his name on it (okay, maybe not J. Edgar). And I say this as a liberal.
Awesome buddy. I am a conservative and totally agree with you! Incredible that we may have something in common!
This is good news Clint. Speak long and loud.
Make my Day Clint, Make my Day!!!
And Michael Douglas is going to play Reagan? Give me a break. It should be Clint without a doubt.
I suspect they’re not going to present The Gipper in a favorable light…
Well Said! Dirty Harry is teh best….
I totally agree with you, and I am a conservative! I can’t stand Hollywood getting not political stances….a speach for a convention if asked? Fine, but you won’t find Clint out parading around his views….and I like that.
Agreed. Love Clint and his republican demeanor. Quite unlike the libs around here. And I’m an independent.
I am voting for Romney though.
Clint Eastwood is the face of conservatism. Especially since John Wayne is no longer with us physically.
There are a few others. Gary Sinese and Kelsey Grammer are among those that should have been offered a spot to speak….
Gary Sinese is a true american hero!
Gary Sinese does it quietly, and deserves a lot of credit with support of the troops—no phony here
Sinese REALLY is an American hero, and very quiet about it.
Why isn’t one of ours of them playing Reagan? Sinese, Grammer, Selleck, etc.
Or Tom Selleck.
Jon Voight too.
Don’t forget Tom Selleck!
Bo Derek
Looking forward to hearing The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Clint Eastwood!
Crint will bring in the Japanese vote and perhaps a few more. I did not spell his name wrong by the way. I have never heard Clint put down any democrat the way the Hollywood left are prone to do with the Republicans. An honorable man, well respected and an asset to the Republican community.
Maybe if you listen to clint close enough you won’t be a liberal anymore.
As you well should. He isn’t one of the hollywood types who is obnoxiously spouting sophmoric diatribe about the other side. Few actors in Hollywood get his rating as far as just a great actor and movie maker and really, who could stay away from the movies clint made? Even those spaghetti westerns were awesome…”The Good…The Bad…”oh yeah
Has Clint Eastwood every made a bad movie? Outside of “Bronco Billy?”
Never! A great man.
Bronco Billy was FABulous!
Clint has always been sort of hero to me. But no more will never watch another Clint Eastwood movie..
I am sure he will miss your ten bucks….
If you have a comment, at least write in words that can be understood.
A person’s personal politics shouldn’t get in the way of you enjoying a good movie. I mean if politics got in the way of my movie viewing, I’d have almost nothing to watch.
you will like 2016 and clint did not make it.
Great Actor, I love Clint Eastwood. I disagree with his politics respectfully.
Clint just made my day.
This is disappointing. Clint always struck me as a Ron Paul kinda guy…
Why would he associate himself with Paulbots?
Personally, I think he’s more a “Gotta remove Obama” kind of guy. That shouldn’t be too disappointing for anyone of that thought process.
Supposedly, Eastwood is a Libertarian but since Libertarian candidates never win (take note Johnson and Ron Paul fans), he does the next best thing and votes GOP.
Hmmm. Wonder why he doesn’t just throw his damn vote away and vote his “conscience”….i.e, the Libertarian candidate?
Maybe he’s smarter than most of those whack jobs out on the Left Coast.
Right on, you go girl.
Right, except of course Romney is bought and paid for just like Obama…
What an ignorant statement.
By whom?
>”…but since Libertarian candidates never win”
LOL!! Talk about factually challenged, but that’s usually the case with ignorant GOP establishment worshippers. And to think that Ron Paul himself got elected to 8 terms!
Umm… sorry dude, Paul won 8 times as a REPUBLICAN. Not a libertarian. Get your own facts right….
Check you own facts, friend. Ron Paul has run for president as a Libertarian, but serves in Congress as a Republican!
Another WRONG assumption. Ron Paul has run for President twice. Both times he ran as a REPUBLICAN. Facts. Get your facts right.
As mayor of Carmel, he was a Republican.
He’s old, he’s not crazy.
Very disappointing. I don’t see him as a Romney man.
To anchorboy and Jerry. Your disappointment seems to reflect that someone you respect and admire is doing something you don’t approve of. Look at it as a message from Clint to get on the Romney Wagon. Clint is never wrong!! Obama for dog catcher!
Clint was wrong with Hereafter….and the movie was about psychic ability.
Could it be disappointing because you were hoping for him to back Obama?
When Eastwood did that Chrysler ad last year I was DEVASTATED!!!! I have loved Eastwood forever , and could not believe he had gone over to the leftist union side. It has restored my faith for him to be vocally supporting Romney, thank you Clint, you have truly made my day(s).
Clint did that to support a great car maker, not unions or Obama. I’ll be providing my support by getting a Dodge Challenger soon.
I read Clint was not happy with the DNC assuming Clint was a supporter of the current POTUS, because of his Chrysler commercial. He said he did it as a support of AMERICA…not for BO. I am thrilled and proud he is conservative and is vocally and personally supporting Romney/Ryan. It takes guts to not jump on the overloaded and shallow Obama/Biden boat!
Mr. Eastwood, you just “made my day!”
Cueing up for his Charleton Heston moment. Not a lot of competition for the part. You have to be over a certain age, have a lot of money, like guns and played cowboys ..
You mean Americans who believe in America? Plenty of us left MaryWendy…
Roger.. do you mean a pre-1965 America?
Sure, why not
Beats 2012 America
Amen.
I’ll take a cowboy over a lawyer on any given day even if I have to go to court.
I like that!
A true American endosreing true American beliefs and a rejection of Government control , oppression and intrusion into every facet of our life. Liberty and self control and responsibility over government replacing freedom of choice . Our fore fathers built it and we all continue to build it in spite of gov’t intrusion and road blocks
This would be a great choice! I am so sick of Obama and Clint Eastwood is one of the few Hollywood celebrities who actually knows what he is talking about.
Glad to see someone in hollywood not pander to the public simply for the fact that they are afraid of their own ‘Image’ in society.. I know that 90% of these ‘Actors’ in hollywood say they pro-democrat but all of them are rich people who check the ballot for the republicans.
Whats surprising? He’s a republican, a no nonsense guy and know what a total failure obummer has been. He knows the country’s future is at stake and Obama is the worst president in recent times since jimmy carter.
Clint Eastwood may be a Ron Paul fan…but he knows Ron Paul can’t win. The objective is to see the current POTUS leave office and turn the direction of this country back onto a positive growth path…and electing Mitt Romney is the only way to do that.
What Eastwood says and who he endorses always seem to conflict each other. I don’t see this Libertarian cowboy agreeing with any of the Romney/Ryan draconian social policies yet he freely and very publicly endorses them. I fear Clint has finally reached that, really, really old-fogie stage. Disappointing to say the least.
By your comment you are truly misguided.
Yeah I know what you mean. And by your comments it appears that you’re still in short pants and haven’t yet learned to see the world the way it really is. But there’s hope. Watch the speeches tonight and I’m sure you can learn something.
It’s certainly humorous and obviously intentional that you use the handle, “Truthman” – I guess it’s your way to mask your ignorance. I’ll take Clint Eastwood (a true American legend) over the dysfunctional group of celebrities that endorse Obama.
Made my day
Get over Ron Paul. He couldn’t get elected prez, EVER! He’s so regional. Clint Eastwood is a real patriot and obviously smart enough to pick a winner!!
The establishment really screwed up…the masses are totally disenfranchised…the convention is lifeless and its making me sick to my stomach…the heartbeat of the rightwing is on life support without Paul supporters…they have no chance since they blew off Ron the way they did…I don’t think Rand or Eastwood can save this thing. They cannot say they weren’t warned by the Paul supporters, who by the way are the true paleoconservatives…not a bunch of new world order-big government-interventionist RINOs like the rest of this.crew. Its Obama now for another four years…the republicans establishment better plan ahead for 2016 or the constitutional republic is lost for ever
Hey, Ron Paul has a lot of good ideas. However, in some areas, he’s a nut! I know several Ron Paul supporters that say they aren’t going to vote for Romney – I think that’s incredibly stupid. If Romney loses because of those folks I will be very disappointed. If he wins in spite of them voting to help Obama, they will lose a lot of credibility.
For Ron Paul supporters: I too am a registered Libertarian. I don’t how you can vote for Obama and believe in what Ron Paul believes. 80% of what he believes, Romney believes. 0% of what Ron Paul believes Obama believes. You are willing to throw away Americas future because of a 20% difference? You are truly not patriots. That is very sad. If Obama is re-elected, America gets what it deserves. It is on a very steep slope now, and Obama for four more years will ensure that any Ron Paul ideas never see the light of day.
I’m not surprised by this … Eastwood has always been very conservative. Doesn’t anyone remember, a long time ago, when Brando had a native American woman decline his academy award and Eastwood was the next presenter at the podium and his first statement was “I hope no one else has any causes” (paraphrased) He may make good movies, but he’s never been liberal in any way.
Dirty Harry’s going to Tampa to say “get off my lawn” to the Occupiers in the White House!
He’s not a Romney kind of guy… You moron. He is an American kind of guy! He loves this country and doesn’t want to see us drown in debt…
I hope that Mr. Eastwood does speak and I am sure that HE will make my day.
As he steps up to speak MSNBC will go to commercial.
Yeah, Chris Mathews arms and legs will start tingling.
He’s not a Romney kind of guy… You moron. He is an American kind of guy! He loves this country and doesn’t want to see us drown in debt…
He already endorsed Romney, so I’m not sure where the disappointment is coming from. It’s clear HE is disappointed in Obama.
I really see him as a Romney man and “Do you feel Lucky”
Its great to see some Hollywood establishment backing the conservative cause. When will others follow? Now is the time. Not after Obama is defeated.
Clint Eastwood is an American Legend.
It warms my heart, and is so satisfying to see him helping take back America and get it back on the right track!
