Ryan Phillippe Honors Clint Eastwood

Ryan Phillippe honors Clint Eastwood, who was awarded The Spirit of Independence Award, presented by the Los Angeles Film Festival on Thursday at the Hammer Museum in Westwood, Calif.

Eastwood recently directed Ryan in last year’s WW2 flick Flag of our Fathers co-starring Paul Walker, Jesse Bradford, Adam Beach and Jamie Bell.

Ryan has said of Eastwood, “You hear the stories and the mythology, and it’s all true. The guy is incredible. He’s an amazing man. Look at him, 76 years old. He climbed the place we shot Suribachi. They had a helicopter that could have taken him up. The man is out there with two bags over his shoulders at 6 in the morning climbing this mountain. He’s something else.”
