Something you don't see every day: a sequel being ruled out.
Hollywood bosses have urged Clint Eastwood to bring back Dirty Harry - at the age of 72.
But the screen legend has turned down the offer because he reckons he is too old.
Eastwood played maverick detective Inspector Harry Callahan in five movies between 1971 and 1988.
At the Cannes Film Festival today, he told how film bosses wanted him to revive the tough guy role even though he turns 73 next week.
"I've even had suggestions to go back and revisit Harry Callahan," he said. "But sometimes you have to move on in certain things and that's not where I am today."
A man's got to know his limitations indeed.
