Besides being a critically-acclaimed actor-director, Clint Eastwood can also be described as an “absurdly healthy eater”. His dietary habits are rather complex and there’s a decent chance that Eastwood’s long life is thanks to his very particular and rigorous diet. So, what actually makes up his diet?

Eastwood's diet tends to rely on fish, fruits and veggies, pasta, and various supplements while steering clear of red meat and dairy. In a 2015 article, he shared some simple advice regarding his dietary views, “Stay away from carbohydrates, especially rich desserts,” and also added, “Eat fruits and raw vegetables. Take vitamins. Skip beverages loaded with sugars.”

The lean superstar noted, “I've never carried much body fat, but I've always been pretty good about watching my diet,” in a 1991 article. “He never eats fat, he takes his antioxidants faithfully, works out like a demon, and gets plenty of sleep,” Eastwood’s doctor, Dr. Harry Demopoulos agreed.
