Clint Eastwood is set to turn 96 in May — and a source says he’s focused on enjoying a quiet, peaceful life instead of new Hollywood projects.

“His filmmaking days are finally over,” the source exclusively tells Closer. “Clint’s main hobbies now are playing piano and making art for himself.”

According to the source, the Oscar-winning director — who was 94 when his last project, Juror No. 2, came out in 2024 — has been dividing his time between the California coast and Hawaii.

“He’s retreated to his beautiful homes far away from Tinseltown, and he doesn’t seem interested at all with saying a grand goodbye or even looking back on the library of unforgettable films he has made,” notes the source. “Being famous doesn’t mean anything to him anymore.”

The living legend’s showbiz career began in 1955, with Eastwood eventually earning raves both in front of the camera and behind it.

Among his most memorable movie releases are Dirty Harry, Million Dollar Baby, The Bridges of Madison County, Unforgiven, Gran Torino, Mystic River and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

“His legacy will be celebrated forever,” predicts the source. “He’s brought joy and entertainment to a lot of people.”

Last year, Eastwood shot down reports he’d told Kurier, an Austrian publication, that he had no plans to retire.

“I thought I would set the record straight,” he said in a statement to Deadline. “The interview is entirely phony.”
