In fact, Eastwood was so in-demand that he eventurned down some major roles.
Then, suddenly, the studio decided to end Eastwood’s contract early.
“I always tell the story that we were fired the same day, but we weren’t.
We were fired the same year.”
Reynolds continued, “he [Eastwood] was fired because his Adam’s apple stuck out too far.
He talked too slow.
And he had a chipped tooth and he wouldn’t get it fixed.
And I said, ‘Why are you firing me?’
And they said, ‘you’ve got the option to’t act.'”
Reynolds also revealed that he didn’t exactly play the sympathetic friend when he learned of Eastwood’s misfortune.
you might’t get rid of that Adam’s apple."
So, in the end, it seems Eastwood had the last laugh.
