Summary
Scott Eastwood, 40, said on "The Joe Rogan Experience" that watching Clint Eastwood work exposed the film industry's "bulls---" while showing him a disciplined, no-drama way to act on set.
Clint Eastwood's rule was simple: "put your boots on" and do the job, Scott said, adding his father never behaved like stars who think fame lets them mistreat crews.
Carmel, not Los Angeles, helped keep Scott and his siblings grounded as children, and he said Clint deliberately shielded them from the distortions of early fame and child stardom.
Scott said he carried that approach into his own career, rejecting method acting and treating performances as work that requires preparation, repetition and leaving the role at the door.
Lucky Strike, his current film, casts him as a soldier crossing 20 miles of German-occupied territory after the Battle of the Bulge, extending a career he began only as an adult.
