Here's something that's surprising: Clint Eastwood, age 78, has a 22-year-old son named Scott. And here's something entirely unsurprising: Eastwood has cast his son in his next film, an untitled project about Nelson Mandela and rugby. Turns out the younger Eastwood, acting under the name Scott Reeves, has been in his dad's movies like Flags of our Fathers. and Gran Torino. He's also an Abercrombie and Fitch model! Just in case you were worried, yes, nepotism is alive and well in Hollywood.
THR reports that Scott will play a member of the rugby team coached by Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), who worked with the new president Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman, duh) to unite the country in the post-apartheid. Honestly, it doesn't really bother me that Scott Eastwood will be in the movie, since the role seems minimal and, hey, Clint Eastwood has earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants. I just hope Scott gets some required ribbing from the cast and crew, and doesn't get to thinking he can steal Damon's role or anything.
