Scott Eastwood blasts 'shocking' on-set behaviour

Scott Eastwood has been left unimpressed by some of the behaviour he has witnessed on set

Scott Eastwood has slammed the "shocking behaviour" he has seen from fellow Hollywood stars.

The 40-year-old actor thinks some people have been famous for "too long" and it has resulted in a lack of accountability and a refusal to take responsibility for their actions.

Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: “Some of the accountability in this industry is just unbelievable.

“I just worked with somebody and… without saying any names… People get too famous for too long and think the world owes them something.

“We started working on a film with a director, and they decided after we’d already spent a bunch of money that they just didn’t want to work with this other person.

“I was like, ‘Okay, then you need to pay that money back to the person who invested in you.’

“They were like, ‘I’m not gonna do that.’

“I was like, ‘Yeah, you do. That’s the right thing to do.'

“They just left because they didn’t want to work with another person after we’d already started pre production.

“I’ve seen some behaviour in this business that’s shocking behavior that wouldn’t fly in any other industry.”

Scott praised his father, legendary actor-and-director Clint Eastwood, for drilling the right work ethic into his family, insisting his attitude had always been to "put your boots on [and], go to work, man."

The Tin Soldier actor thinks he was "lucky" because he got to see bad behaviour first hand when he was young and visited his dad at work, so knew how not to act.

He said: "I think I was lucky in some ways because I got to see it growing up and got to see like how it's bulls***"

And Scott thinks Clint, 96, "did a really good job of protecting" him and his siblings from the spotlight.

Joe noted child stars can "get stunted in [their] growth" if they get famous too young, and his guest said: "I mean, kudos to my dad, cause he did a really good job of protecting us from that and very private.

"We didn't live in LA, we we lived in Carmel. It was a very...as normal as it could be, in the sense that he was like, 'No, you just you need to be a normal child and learn how the world works.'"

The Lucky Strike star noted both he and his dad have always treated acting "as a job" and have never taken a method approach, noting he isn't "one of these crazy psychos" that stay in character both on and off camera.

He said: "My dad was never like that. He was like, it's a job. Like go to work, do the best you can, put in the reps, make sure you know your s*** and you come prepared, and you have something interesting, but leave it at the door."
