Olsen Twins Make Clint Eastwood's Day

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Tough-guy actor Clint Eastwood apparently goes weak at the knees over the Olsen twins, the 15-year old media moguls beloved by pubescent fans the world over.
In an interview published in the September issue of Gear magazine, Eastwood said Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were his favorite current actresses, and he named their new album, "Greatest Hits II," as his preferred driving music.
A Gear publicist confirmed the veracity of the interview, but said Eastwood was being facetious. A spokesman for the Olsens said they realized the actor was joking but were still thrilled to be mentioned, and were, in turn, big fans of his.
Elsewhere in the interview, which was conducted by his friend, TV talk show host Craig Kilborn, Eastwood claimed that his grandchildren call him "a--hole."
Asked when first delivered his trademark menacing stare, Eastwood replied, "At the nurse when I was born."
When Kilborn reminded Eastwood that his comments would end up in print, Eastwood, 71, said: "What do I care? I've already had a good career."
