Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, Melanie Griffith, Carrie Fisher… Few are the children of great stars who have succeeded in the cinema. For them, it is more complicated than it may seem to make their way. Many times, this condition initially opens some doors, but then comes the hateful comparisons. In the case of Scott Eastwood, he draws attention because of his resemblance to his father, but he is showing that he has enough talent to stay.

Everything was initially against Scott Clinton Reeves, born on March 21, 1986 in Carmel (California), a few days before his illustrious father, Clint Eastwood , became mayor of this town. He was an illegitimate child from the actor’s relationship with air hostess Jacelyn Reeves, behind the back of his official partner, actress Sondra Locke . Two years later, Reeves would give birth to Kathryn.

Passionate about surfing, the young Scott spent his youth in Hawaii, although he traveled a lot, because his mother worked in an airline company, and he visited his father on filming. He graduated in Communication from Loyola Marymount University, in Los Angeles, in 2008. The worst day of his life was September 24, 2014, when he was in a car accident, in which Jewel Brangman, the girlfriend of him

She immediately began to earn a living as a fashion model. Heir to his father’s passion for acting, he began in the cinema as a young marine in the film directed by him , Banderas de nuestros padres . He had his son again in Gran Torino and Invictus , and shared the screen with him in Golpe de effecto. At that time, the boy did not want to take advantage of Clint’s fame, so he called himself Scott Reeves, using his mother’s last name. But in the end he decided that it didn’t matter. “I’ve been through casting for every role I’ve ever played. I consider myself a self-made man”, he has declared. “I have grown in this business and I hope to continue in it. As long as I’m happy with what I do, the rest doesn’t matter and the day I’m not happy, I quit and do something else.”

After embodying a policeman in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D , and a sergeant in Hearts of Steel , he is given the leading role in The Longest Ride , adapted from a sweetened novel by Nicholas Sparks . He received rave reviews as a cowboy who rides bulls in a show for a living who falls in love with a young student.

The success of this title marked a turning point in Scott Eastwood’s career, from which they began to offer him more relevant roles. He plays a war veteran who tries to save his wife, in the action film Diablo , which is reminiscent of the first titles of his parent. He fought against drug cartels in Young Hitmen , signed a contract for three Fast & Furious films , a saga in which he plays a police officer, was a soldier in the blockbuster superhero production Suicide Squad , and a pilot of jaeggers (robots giants) in Pacific Rim: Uprising .

What costs him the most about filming is being away from his father, an octogenarian. “I want to enjoy it while I can.” He has even thought of following in his footsteps as a director. “I don’t rule out this possibility,” he says. He proudly explains that he has given her the best advice on his profession. “Above all, I remember that he told me to work hard and be humble because one day you can succeed and the next day, lose everything.”
