He thought Romney was too handsome for politics, at first.?"I said, 'God, this guy is too handsome to be governor, but he does look like he could be president.' As the years have gone by, I'm beginning to think even more so that," Eastwood said.?

But that's all in the past. Clint gave Mitt some love on Friday night. "It's now more important than ever that we need Gov. Romney and I'm going to be voting for him as I know most of you will be," he said.?
