SUN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) - Clint Eastwood just made Mitt Romney's day. The Dirty Harry star and Oscar-winning director of Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby endorsed the Republican presidential candidate on Friday night during a Sun Valley fund-raiser.
"I think the country needs a boost," Eastwood told The Associated Press as he joined other Romney supporters for the private campaign event.
In February, Eastwood told Fox News that he wasn't supporting any politician at that time. Some saw the "half-time in America" ad he made for the Super Bowl as a nod toward President Barack Obama. Eastwood responded then by saying he was not "politically affiliated" with the president.
"Now more than ever do we need Gov Romney. I'm going to be voting for him," Eastwood told Romney supporters on Friday night.
