Even though Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention is billed by the press a “catastrophic blunder,” he must surely find SOME consolation in knowing he’s the latest viral sensation.

As was to be expected, the Hollywood icon (actor and director) has gone viral thanks to his empty chair talking routine.

Not only is “invisible Obama” on Twitter now, but there’s also a trend called “eastwooding” which, obviously, can be found under the hashtag #eastwooding.

Yup, eastwooding is something that people do these days and it’s proving a never-ending source of fun.

Moreover, Internet memes have also emerged. In many photos, Eastwood is seen “engaging” various inanimate (with the exception of Paris Hilton) objects in conversation.

You can see some of those in the gallery below. Here is a viral video of what the empty chair / “invisible Obama” was telling Eastwood at the Convention.
