Let Us make your day. Introducing…Scott Eastwood, the 27-year-old son of Hollywood’s standard-setting leading man extraordinaire Clint Eastwood. And from the looks of the photo spreads in Town & Country‘s October issue, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
In the interview, which is accompanied by shots of the preternaturally handsome, self-described “man’s man” modeling nautical fashion, the Monterey, CA native revealed his career goals: “I want to be a man’s man — not a kid actor or a glitzy pop star but a no-bulls–t leading man,” he shared. With an impressive roster of films that fit his macho requirements (including Dawn Patrol, a murder drama, and Fury, a WWII movie with Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf), it seems like he’s well on his way to realizing his aspirations.
When he’s not acting (or surfing or fishing), he’s at Solana Beach’s Saddle Bar, of which he’s a co-owner. “I’m not a club kind of guy,” he told the magazine. “Dive bars are much more my thing. They’re no-nonsense.”
Just don’t credit his good fortune to his Hollywood pedigree. (His mother is Jaclyn Reeves, a former flight attendant with whom Clint had two children; in all, the actor-filmmaker had seven kids with five different women.) Despite growing up on his father’s film sets, the younger Eastwood has pursued non-acting jobs as a construction worker, a bartender, and a valet. “As a director and an actor, my dad’s motto is ‘Tell the truth.’ The only way of doing that is having life experiences and being a storyteller,” he explained.
