Scott Eastwood outlined a complicated, but highly respectful, relationship with his father, who had a long-term affair with Scott's mother, Jacelyn Reeves. The father-son bond — and Clint's presence — was not immediate, with Scott's birth certificate reading "father declined" under the space to identify paternity, per GQ Australia.
While Scott would eventually develop a relationship with his father and spend time with Clint while he worked on his movies, the son of the "Gran Torino" actor wasn't guaranteed a spot on screen. Instead, Scott worked a variety of odd jobs after high school, including construction, valeting cars, and working behind the bar. "People assumed that I would have everything handed to me, but that couldn't be further from the truth," Scott told Town and Country in 2013.
Scott recalled asking his dad for a loan for a truck (he was riding a pushbike to and from work), and Clint refused. "I called [Dad] and was like, 'I've got this job. Can I get eight grand to buy a truck? I'm working this job. I can pay you back 'X' amount a month, you know.' And I remember the phone going silent... And he'd just be like, 'Yeah, no. [...] He wouldn't give me a dime," Scott told GQ.
