According to Ganja, only an idiot would post here without having irrefutable evidence that this happened ... in the form of a video clip, for example .. So I may well be considered an idiot, but I still have to speak out.

I want to declare as emphatically as possible that this is NOT a myth. I remember clearly the interview Stina did with Clint and what he did with the ciggy. I was relatively young and a smoker myself at the time and seeing what he did made me try for several months to get it down myself.

The trick was "simple" in its design but more or less impossible for me to do. Clint is wearing a shirt with a breast pocket. Stina asks (and I don't remember who in the thread wrote it, but this was the question):

"How come you're so cool?" (Not necessarily EXACTLY word for word, but that was the meaning.)

Clint leans slightly forward, puts one hand under his breast pocket, and slaps it from underneath. the way you might flick a bread crumb off the table, which causes ONE cigarette to fly up, which he catches in the corner of his mouth. As nearly as I can recall, he never lights up, but he looks up at Stina and answers something like:

"I don't know, you tell me."

Probably (though I didn't realize it then) this wasn't spontaneous, but something they asked him to do (i.e. something cool). They could have done xx retakes also, since it's sure as hell not easy (I never managed to do it ...)

As I said, that made a great impression on me, and it was a recurring topic of conversation (which I would bring up, since there were very few of my friends who'd seen the interview) in the following months.

I found my way here just now because I'd read a little about "Clintan"'s latest films on the IMDb. For some reason I happened to remember that awfully cool ciggy-trick he did, and I started to search YouTube, without success. Then I did searches on Google and found this thread ...

I SAW IT MYSELF. I didn't hear it from any of my buddies, I was the one who told them about it.

That Stina herself has forgotten it is too bad, but she's getting up in years and I think maybe the cigarette thing didn't make so much of an impression on her that she retains it (she's older and probably has some different ideas about what might be memorable than I had at that age). Surely she remembers every minute of the interviews with Yasser Arafat, Khadaffi or Mandela. Besides, the interview was, as far as I can remember, pretty wretched / bad.

There must be some archive where it exists at TV3 ...?

I want to take this chance to ask you not to give up ... I'll try to find it too, any place I still can turn to look for it.

... and believe me or not, that's up to you, but it DID happen ...

det berömda clint eastwood tricket som aldrig hände ...

@ fundersam - har för mig att det finns något enstaka annat exempel, men jag tycker man kan se en stark förbättring i rittekniken de senaste 1-2 åren.

Är det här första gången Kellerman gjort den här typen av detaljerad inzoomning?

Och det amerikanska tobaksmonopolet skrattar hela vägen till banken. Undrar om det där handelsavtalet kan tvinga folk att röka också? Stämmer svenska staten för förlorade inkomster?
