Angelina Jolie makes a surprise tribute to Clint Eastwood

Angelina Jolie made a surprise appearance at Monday night’s Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala, where she showed up to present an award to director Clint Eastwood. Here’s what she had to say:
“There are some people in this business that are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they’ll live up to what we imagine them to be,” she told the audience. “And Clint Eastwood in person is even better.”“Clint is what every great director should be,” she continued. “He is a great leader. And I certainly would follow him anywhere.”

Here are a few more pictures from the event:
I can’t imagine the trouble Angelina had to go to to fly across the world to pay a personal tribute to Clint; now there’s respect. The look of surprise on Clint’s face is priceless. What a guy.
He’s been part of my life since his appearances in Rawhide on UK television in the early 1960s, and has never stopped entertaining us since then.
Hats off to Clint.
