Clint Eastwood is probably the biggest star in the western movie genre ever, but he never got a chance to appear in the biggest video game western. Well, until now, as this new fan video gives a perfect look at how the actor would fit into the Van der Linde gang in Red Dead Redemption 2. Spoiler alert: things are not looking good for Micah Bell.

So, what has he been up to with members of Dutch's Boys? The footage sees him drinking whiskey in the saloon with Lenny Summers until both are so drunk they slap each other in the face. Throwing a mean dude who'd steal a fly from a blind spider out of the bar? Check. Hanging up his bounty upon a tree while smoking a cigar? Did that too. Oh, and don't forget that perfect shooting scene with Sean MacGuire, to whom Eastwood really showed what Dead Eye Targeting looks like.

Your biggest joy to watch will be how things turned out for Micah Bell, "known as The Rat." At first, 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' star is uninteresed in getting the gangster out of Strawberry's jail, but in doing so eventually, he uses a bit too much dynamite. As one of the viewers said in the comments, "Clint Eastwood killing Micah is beautiful beyond words."
