Son of the mythical Clint Eastwood (95) and Jacelyn Reeves (73), Scott (39) was born in Carmel, California, but spent his childhood between the tranquility of the California coast and the wild energy of Hawaii. “I fished, dived, surfed… I had a simple and happy childhood,” he confessed in an interview with Route Magazine. These years away from the glamor of Hollywood shaped his adventurous and sporty character and his love of nature. At 17, he decided to move in with his father, a change that was not easy for him. “I lived with my mother until everything rotted away… and then I came to my father and made him angry too,” he recalled humorously. However, behind this demanding relationship was a deep admiration. “He is my hero,” she once said.
Over time, Scott understood that the Eastwood name was not a key to success, but a responsibility. “My father didn’t give me a dime. He made me earn everything,” she told Woman’s World. And in another interview, he added: “Dad is very old-fashioned… He taught me integrity: being on time, working and trying hard.” Before hitting the big screen, Scott modeled in campaigns for international brands like Ralph Lauren and editions like GQ Australia, and his face and body appeared in the 2015 Davidoff Cool Water perfume campaign. He made his leap into the cinema with roles in Flags of our fathers And Great Turin (both directed by Clint), but always with a clear premise that his father repeated to him: “If there’s someone better than you, you won’t get the part.” He also starred in the film The perfect wavewhere he was able to combine his great loves: cinema and surfing.
Several romances and a tragedy
Personally, Scott prefers discretion, although his love life has been a topic of conversation. He was linked to actress and singer Jana Kramer, model and actress Charlotte McKinney and Ana de Armas when they worked together on the film Overdrive (2017).
But he also experienced a tragedy that shaped him: In September 2014, his girlfriend at the time, Jewel Brangman, died in a car accident caused by a defective airbag. “It was one of the hardest calls I have received in my life,” he confessed in pain.
YOUR OTHER PASSIONS
Off set, Scott is a man who enjoys golfing, fishing, flying helicopters and playing pickleball. “I feel most comfortable in the ocean,” he confessed to GQ, recalling his Hawaiian past.
In addition, the company promotes its “Made Here” brand, which is not only fashion but also a tribute to the people who make things with their hands in the United States, and supports social initiatives by dedicating a portion of its profits to programs that promote employment in the American textile industry. Today, Scott is much more than just the “son of…”. With his charisma, his free spirit and his commitment to authenticity, he does his thing. As he himself put it to the New York Post: “It’s not about being Clint Eastwood, it’s about being.” Scott Eastwood and find my own way.
