Scott Eastwood to 'Man of the World': There's More to Me Than Acting (Exclusive!)

Scott Eastwood is his usual sexy self on the cover of Man of the World‘s Hollywood Issue, on newsstands March 4.

Here’s what the 27-year-old actor had to share with the mag:

On his father Clint Eastwood: “Some of my earliest memories are being on set with my dad. That was just work – busy people all over the place with no noticeable degree of difference between them. There wasn’t some unusual quality called fame. Even when I eventually got camera time, I didn’t get special treatment. If anything, my dad was harder on me. My father never pressured any of [his children] to go into the movie business. All he ever said was, ‘Whatever you do, do your best at it.’ If I didn’t do this, I’d be a fireman; something super-active that challenges you and is different every day.”

On his early career: “Everybody wanted to rep Scott Eastwood, not Scott Reeves. I could’ve done a western years ago. I read a ton of scripts. The reality is that the new westerns are sh*t. I wanted to play against all that. I like the medium of film. The constant learning process. There’s not one point where you can go, ‘Now I can do it.’ Being an actor and being a celebrity are different things.”

On who he is: “There’s more to me than acting. I don’t let acting control me. I wouldn’t know how to live an enjoyable life if I let it. All those experiences that expand the goal posts make you a better actor. But I’m not going to take it so seriously that I’m unkind to other people. We’re all just human beings working together to make something, and the part I do is called acting. F*ck, it’s just make believe.”
