Scots Clint Eastwood superfan surprised with incredible bedroom mural of hero

A Clint Eastwood super fan was lost for words after carers at his support service arranged for a larger-than-life mural of the actor to be painted on his bedroom wall.

Albert, 58, lives at Cornerstone's Fairfield supported housing service in Dundee, and is obsessed with the steely-jawed icon, best known for films such as A Fistful of Dollars and police thriller Dirty Harry. His flat is lined with pictures and canvasses of the 92-year-old star and he owns everything the actor has ever made on DVD.

He even makes a point of dressing up as Eastwood for Halloween every year – donning a poncho and a cowboy hat to become The Man With No Name, Eastwood's most iconic role. Staff at Cornerstone, which supports people with additional support needs and learning disabilities, decided to commission a local artist to paint a huge mural of Eastwood as the spaghetti western legend in Albert's bedroom.
