Eastwood has been very open about the secrets to his longevity as he began to age. One tip that he gave was that a person should be able to adapt to their circumstances. Throughout his youth and adulthood, he exercised quite frequently and this kept his bones healthy and strong. He never stayed in one position for too long either. He claimed that frequent change was just one of the keys to success.

Eastwood played plenty of roles in his films, from the legendary hero to more normal characters. He claims that the more you acknowledge that you are aging, the worse the process becomes. You should live your life to the fullest, regardless of how old you become. He has spent his life living by these tricks and has practiced them every day.

In an interview with TV host Ellen DeGeneres Eastwood admitted that when he was younger, he never thought that he would live this long. After watching after his elderly grandfather as a young child, he realized that he did not want to live long either.

Of course, the world of Hollywood would be nothing without plenty of rumors and hoaxes that circulate the media. Eastwood has faced his own share of death hoaxes like plenty of other celebrities in the industry.

After his involvement in plenty of films, he decided to try his hand at directing and producing. This is when he became known for films The Mule and Gran Torino.

Throughout his lifetime, Eastwood has been married twice. In the year 1953, he met Maggie Johnson whom he eventually married and had two children with. His son, Kyle was born in 1968, and his daughter, Alison was born in 1972. The marriage soon dissolved due to Eastwood's infidelity. He had been openly courting his mistress Roxanne Tunis as a married man.

In 1996, he remarried to news anchor Dina Ruiz. The married couple had a daughter, yet the marriage ended in 2013. The main reason for his divorces were his infidelities, although his wives were unaware of most of the time. In his affair with Roxanne, he was blessed with a daughter whom they named Kimberly. His first daughter, Laurie was conceived while he was in his first marriage to Johnson.

Another affair with a flight attendant named Jacelyn Reeves resulted in the birth of two children, Scott and Kathryn. Scott Eastwood eventually became a successful actor like his father. In 1993, Eastwood was involved with yet another woman. She was Frances Fisher, an actress who gave birth to his daughter, Francesca.

Eastwood has eight children altogether, and it is apparent that he desired to create a large family. His children may be just one of his many secrets to living a long life. Clint Eastwood has lived a successful life and has plenty of children to continue his legacy. A few of them have gone into the acting industry, while others have taken different career paths.
