Close-up on the career of Clint Eastwood's son.
In the shadow of his father ...
Born March 21, 1986, Scott Eastwood is the son of Clint Eastwood and Jacelyn Reeves, a stewardess with whom the director and actor has had an affair for several years. His film beginnings were mainly due to the influence of his father. The young man indeed appears in the film Memories of our fathers, where he finally takes the stage name of "Scott Reeves" and subsequently performs in other films of his father such as Gran Torino and Invictus. Small roles that will not make an impression, but which nevertheless allow him to enter Hollywood. In 2009, it took the name of Eastwood.

From "Texas Chainsaw" to "Suicide Squad" ...
From furtive appearances in direct releases to DVD, Scott Eastwood struggles to make a name for himself. He appears in the cast of the 3D version of Texas Chainsaw in the role of the sheriff, plays in the horror film Enter Nowhere or in the western Diablo, in which his resemblance to his father is obvious (see photo in the slideshow)... In 2015 he landed the main male role in the romantic drama Chemins croisés where he gave a reply to Britt Robertson. A love story adapted from a novel by Nicholas Sparks (Never forget, Dear John ...) which was a great success with spectators. A pivotal year for the actor who appears in films for the general public. He landed the role of Sergeant Miles in Fury by David Ayer and that of Lieutenant Edwards in Suicide Squad. The following year he appeared in Oliver Stone's Snowden where he played a computer scientist and in Ben Affleck's gangster film Live by night.

He embodies the right arm of Kurt Russell in the eighth installment of the motorized adventures of Dominic Toretto and his family. The actor continues his momentum since, the same year, he appeared in the action film by Antonio Negret Overdrive in which he embodies an expert in car theft...
