When Scott Eastwood was 18, he wanted to buy a used truck. So he asked his dad for $10,000. It wasnt an insane request after all, the dad in question was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood history. But Clint Eastwood wasnt in a giving mood and turned his son down. I remember thinking, What a fucking dick!' says Scott, who managed to scrape together $1,000 for a 13-year-old Crown Victoria. But now that I busted my ass for so many years, I think, I am fucking glad he did that.' Hes also glad his dad said no to casting him in 2014s American Sniper. Or, rather, simply ignored his audition:
I just didnt get a callback.
Luckily, the younger Eastwood, 29, inherited a lot from his dad, including his looks. The resemblance is so strong, in fact, that Scott looks like he couldve just walked off the set of Dirty Harry. Now, that pedigree as well as his leading-man chops is translating into box-office success. Earlier this year, Scott played a sweaty, sensitive cowboy in Nicholas Sparks The Longest Ride, a role that helped him get cast in the desert-fantasy video for Taylor Swifts Wildest Dreams. She is a class act, says Eastwood. Thats how I want to be as a person. His agents advised him against doing a music video. They said, We dont want you to be Taylor Swifts boy toy,' Eastwood says with a groan. Are you fucking kidding? I would love to be Taylor Swifts boy toy!

Eastwood was raised partly by his mom, a flight attendant who dated Clint in the Eighties. But his dad played a large role in his upbringing, teaching him to hunt, fish and ride horses. Recently, Scott began flying helicopters, a hobby he picked up from his father, and Clint has given Scott small roles in a few of his films, including Gran Torino and Flags of Our Fathers. There will always be people who think, Oh, rich kid, trust-fund baby, blah, blah,' Scott says. That aint fucking true at all.
Next year, Eastwood will co-star in Oliver Stones Snowden and the superhero-blockbuster-to-be Suicide Squad. Right now, hes single, as is Clint, who, at 85, divorced his second wife last year. Scott says hes learned from his [fathers] mistakes. Sort of. A while ago my agents got offered a charity poker tournament with a Victorias Secret model, he says. They passed because they thought Id think it was too low-rent. I said, Im single. I love Victorias Secret models, and I like poker. Dont ever pass on something without asking me again!'
