During his candid conversation with the outlet, he recalled the incident and said it was very old-school of his father, Clint Eastwood, for smacking him for leaving his younger sister alone at the party. He shared:
“I had taken my younger sister, who was like, 14, to this party. I left, maybe to go get a beer with the guys. And I left her, and I didn’t think about it at the time. Later, Dad found out that I’d left her there.”
The actor added that, later, when his father found out, he punched him,
“He popped me and said, ‘You don’t ever leave your sister at a party. EVER.’ And it was very old-school, very old-school of him. He wasn’t afraid. None of this new-age bullshit where you can’t even smack the kid because everyone’s afraid of being judged or whatever. That wasn’t the way that shit went down in that family… If you did something wrong, you were going to get punished. I learnt quickly – you don’t do that.”
When asked what pisses him off, Eastwood replied,
“Complainers, whiny little f**king brats. You just really want to knock them out and be like, ‘You lucky, lucky, spoilt brat. You’re full of yourself. You’re so lucky. I would love nothing more than to knock you out, to show you how much of a little brat you’re being.”
Scott Eastwood has starred in iconic movies like The Longest Ride, Suicide Squad, Snowden, The Fate of the Furious, and Pacific Rim Uprising.
