Eastwood, 78, claims life was simpler and easier in his upbringing during the depression when problems were solved using fists rather than a therapist’s couch, reports imdb.com.

“Everyone’s become used to saying, ‘Well, how do we handle it psychologically?’ In those days, you punched the bully back and duked it out. People were tougher then. I was a shy kid. But a lot of my childhood was spent punching the bullies out,” Eastwood told Esquire magazine.
