America is a movie country. New movies are often reviewed with movie stars on the morning news. On the NBC morning news anchor Katie Couric interviewed Clint Eastwood on his latest movie “Million dollar baby.” In the middle of this interview, Clint suddenly refers to Katie’s glasses and the conversation changes from offering the viewers insights into the movie to a personal exchange between the news anchor and Clint. Here is the transcription:
Couric: We don't have to get into that right now. I want to read one review from the Los Angeles Times:
"Eastwood, despite his legendary no-nonsense style, has become a gift to director of actors. It's not just the exceptional work by co-stars Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman that stands out here. It's Eastwood's own performance, in some ways the most nakedly emotional of his 50-year career."
Do you feel kind of liberated that you can be, as an actor, almost freer to expose that side of you, or is that the most ridiculous question you've ever heard?
Eastwood: Well I think what happens, as you mature, you look great in glasses, by the way.
Couric: Really?
Eastwood: Yeah, very good.
Couric: It's that sort of naughty, secretary-librarian-teacher look you know, and the hair up and you think when I take them off and take my hair down, how naughty I look?
Eastwood: Maybe that's it. It's just a little thing.
Couric: Thank you. Thank you.
Eastwood: At this hour of the morning, naughty may not fit, but what the heck.
Couric: Okay. Hey, it works for me. Go ahead anyway.
Only in America.....
