“Everybody’s saying I threatened to kill Michael Moore,” Eastwood said, according to Variety. “That’s not true.”
After a pause, he added, “It isn’t a bad idea."
According to USA Today, the comment prompted a rousing applause and laughter from the CinemaCon audience.
The "Fahrenheit 9/11" director had previously claimed Eastwood said he'd "kill" him if he ever "came to his house" with a camera for an interview.
