Clint Eastwood

Originally called Kevin Eastwood, he went on to become a world-leading cowboy and so changed his name to the much more cowboyey ‘Clint.’ He subsequently went on to become the definitive tough man on a horse with a hat and it’s frankly embarrassing that other people are still trying to play cowboys because they’ll never do it as well.
