Clint Eastwood Speech Republic Convention 2012: Celebrity Reactions (ViEW LIST HERE)
Clint Eastwood's speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, Aug. 30 has received mixed reactions from Hollywood, music stars and the President himself.
The "Unforgiven" actor, who was the RNC's surprise guest speaker, delivered his remarks with an interesting concept - he addressed an empty chair pretending President Obama was sitting in it while commenting on several current policies.
A long list of celebrities critiqued Eastwood's speech on Twitter: HBO "Newsroom" star Olivia Munn, CNN's Piers Morgan, Seth Meyers, Chris Rock, Adam Levine and even the President.
President Obama captioned a photo of himself sitting in a chair marked "The President" with "This seat's taken."
"The Voice" judge Adam Levine wrote: "Clint Eastwood has gone f**kin nutterbutters yo" while his co-star and fellow judge Blake Shelton tweeted "I. Love. Clint Eastwood."
Celebrity tweet reactions to Eastwood's unconventional speech are as follows:
Piers Morgan: "Still reeling from that #Clint performance - sooooooooo weird."
Zachary Quinto: "Is clint eastwood meant to instill confidence in republicans?! I am legitimately scared of his talking to imaginary Obama."
Patton Oswalt: "'If Clint Eastwood ever talks to a chair on national TV, people will need a way to reassure each other' - inventor of Twitter, March 2006."
Roger Ebert: "Clint, my hero, is coming across as sad and pathetic. He didn't need to do this to himself. It's unworthy of him."
Zach Braff: "Still can't tell if Clint was hallucinating or President is really invisible now."
