Eastwood Gives ' Awkward' Speech At GOP Convention

Posted: Updated:
TAMPA, Fla. -

Legendary actor Clint Eastwood was the special mystery guest at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night.

The 82-year-old longtime Republican endorsed Mitt Romney at an Idaho fundraiser earlier this month.

His speech is being called "awkward" by some since he spoke to an empty chair, which was supposed to represent President Barack Obama.

Eastwood told reporters he is backing Romney because he thinks the country "needs a boost."
