That scene shows the soft side of Eastwood and I just wonder where it went...

(13,390 posts)This time, it is a gang of trial lawyers staring down Clint Eastwood, asking themselves about taking him on: "Do I feel lucky?" These "sleazebag lawyers," the veteran actor says, his voice constricting, messed with the wrong guy when they "frivolously" sued him and hundreds of other small-business owners for failing to comply quickly enough with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Mr. Eastwood . . . is striking back with a Washington lobbying campaign for new legislation to modify the law. "I figure I won't back down because of all these people . . . who can't defend themselves."

After defending and winning an ADA lawsuit over refusal to make his resport accessible, he made "Million Dollar Baby" which glorified euthanasia of a disabled woman.
I don't know how long he's been such a creep, but it's deep and it's not new.
