Eastwood also made headlines during the final day of the Republican National Convention last fall when he had a conversation with an empty chair representing President Barack Obama. 

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case on March 26. 

In Georgia, Constitutional Amendment 1 in 2004 made it unconstitutional for the state to recognize or perform same-sex marriages or civil unions. The referendum was approved by 76 percent of voters. 

A number of companies, including Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft are among hundreds of businesses that have signed on to a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that federal same-sex marriage restrictions hurt their businesses.
