Clint Eastwood's secret to staying fit at 96 isn't what you'd expect. The legendary actor and filmmaker's son recently discussed his father’s diet and dietary habits.

On June 21, the official Instagram handle of Men’s Health shared a post, captioning:

“Yes, you can eat healthy, but you can also have fun. And when @scotteastwood thinks of his dad, Clint Eastwood’s diet, he sees one fun habit. He breaks it down for @ebenezersamuel23 and @dr.patdavidson when he joins them on #Strongtalk.”

In the video, the American actor Scott Eastwood was seen sharing his father’s diet, which includes:

• Salmon 
• Broccoli

Along with this, he revealed the fun part of his father's diet: his father had a sweet tooth. He said, “He [Clint Eastwood] was kind of a big dessert guy…..   He did a lot of desserts. I don't know if I would do as many desserts as he did.”

He contrasted himself with his father and said, “He was kind of a big dessert guy; I don't do desserts like people order dessert at a restaurant.” He further explained his dessert ordering habit and said, “Maybe you know, once a year.”

Apart from this, he also eats a very balanced diet, which helps him maintain energy in his late nineties. According to Taste of Home, his son once revealed his breakfast while speaking with Men’s Health. 

He said, “My dad does not eat for pleasure. He eats salmon and brown rice for breakfast.” This protein-rich breakfast allows a constant flow of energy to the Golden Globe Awards winner throughout the day and fuels his body to work. 

At 96, the actor from “The First Traveling Saleslady” is living a healthy life, all thanks to his longevity secret.
