22 Endearing Photos of a Young Clint Eastwood Posing With Animals From the 1960s and 1970s

Clint Eastwood is a big animal-lover and has campaigned against hunting since 2002. His daughter Francessca recalled growing up in a house “full of animals.” The family had everything from a “rat room,” to chinchillas, chickens, pigs and tortoises, and more.

In an interview, he revealed how many animals he has roaming around his Spanish-style home, “We have two tortoises, we have a pig, we have five chickens, we’ve got a guinea pig, a chinchilla, and two rats, and um, let’s see, what else? Five birds... yeah, I’d say we’re animal people.”

Surely with all those animals Eastwood’s life can get very “Dirty Hairy”.
