Clint Eastwood Lawsuit: Actor Sues Furniture Company Over 'Eastwood' Chairs

Clint Eastwood Sues Furniture Company Over Chairs

Looks like Marlon Brando and Clint Eastwood have another commonality besides Hollywood legend status: furniture scandals!

Coming off the heels of Brando's estate going after Ashley Furniture for its same-named sectional, Eastwood is in a legal snafu with Evofurniture, a furniture company (and adjoining website Inmod.com), for selling entertainment centers, ottomans and chairs fashioned after the famous director.

Eastwood states that Evofurniture is "continuing to use Mr. Eastwood's name, identity and persona for the purpose of attracting attention to the infringing products..." And hold your are-you-feeling-lucky jokes, the furniture's marketing scheme is chock full of them:

"When you're invited into a person's home, you get to see the good, the bad and the ugly. When visitors come to your home, the Clint 47'' Entertainment Center makes your family room alone look like you live in a perfect world of a million dollar baby."

However bad the references may be (so bad!), Eastwood's looking for an injunction against all uses of his name as well as unspecified damages.

Fingers crossed Clint told the company, "Hey, I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it."
