He also noted that being one of Eastwood’s eight siblings (Laurie, 65, Kyle, 51, Kimber, 55, Alison, 47, Katherine, 31, Francesca, 26, and Morgan , 22) also teaches you a lot of patience.
Scott’s mother is flight attendant Jacqueline Reeves, whom he raised in Hawaii. His father Clint did not interfere in Scott’s life until he moved with him to Los Angeles in high school. He told Esquire how his father raised him:
“My dad is definitely old school. And he raised me with integrity — to be on time, show up, and work hard.”
Although Clint is a legendary actor and has also made a name for himself as a talented director, he is not giving his son Scott any gifts.
He has to make his way in Hollywood, a philosophy proven by the fact that Clint turned him down for his role in American Sniper. He told The Independent that the rejection had a silver lining, as he opened up his schedule to do the Nicholas Sparks compilation ‘The Longest Ride’.
But the young actor still strives to act in his father’s films. He told Esquire that “I couldn’t be more proud of him. I couldn’t be more inspired by the films he makes.”
Scott is currently working on the military film “The Outpost” and is once again following in his father’s footsteps – his character’s name is Clint.
