An inappropriate joke made by Clint Eastwood mocking Caitlyn Jenner's transgender status during the taping of the Guys Choice Awards is set to be cut before it is televised.

The 85-year-old actor made the remark during the Spike TV event on Saturday when he was introducing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

According to Hollywood Life, the Oscar winner made his faux pas when he compared the San Andreas actor to former athletes who have gone on to establish careers in acting.
