Scott Eastwood

“I remember thinking, ‘This is stupid! I don’t even know why I am on this audition. This is such a YA movie,’” Scott Eastwood admitted about his audition to play Edward during a conversation with Variety. “I don’t think I really tried all that hard, and it was just like, I’m going to just do it and go through the motions. Then the movie turns into seven movies and Robert Pattinson has made a quadrillion dollars.”

He continued, joking, “Then I was thinking, ‘Ya may have wanted to try maybe just a little bit.’”
