The film Forsage-8, in which Scott Eastwood played an agent of the American secret services, collects the sold out. And Scott's face on the screen seems familiar, even if you see it for the first time: the guy is very similar to his father, the famous actor and director Clint Eastwood.

Before the age of 27, he had the name of his mother. At the beauty of stewardess Zhaslin Ann Reeves happened a novel with Clint Eastwood, she gave birth to a boy. At that time, Clint lived in a civil marriage with actress Sondra Locke. Son recognized only after many years. He gave him the name Eastwood and even took in several of his films.

Of course, my story sounds fantastic. What can I say today? Thank you, Mom, that you were so beautiful and seduced Dad! But seriously, I go to castings exactly the same as everyone else. The main thing that matters in the cinema is talent, perseverance and good roles.

In Hollywood they are not easy to receive. Are you worried when you do not pass the test?.

I grew a thick skin - it's part of the business. Roles are like buses: you need to wait a bit until the next.

Do producers really show no more interest when they find out whose son you are?.

Sometimes, I was told: "We'll take you, but you bring the Pope to the project, okay? ". So business is not done. Certainly not with my father! He is an old man and does not like excess chatter.. He either likes history, or does not. If he says: "I do not smell my senses", this is the decisive argument in the dispute.

We read that you spent your childhood in Hawaii ... No, I grew up in California. In Hawaii, my mother and I lived very little time, and it was not like a fabulous vacation. At school he was an outcast. The fact is that among the local population, white Americans are a minority - for them there is even an insulting nickname "chaole". When I heard this, I always got into a fight. As a result, after a few months my mother decided to leave. But this experience was for me an excellent anti-racist vaccination.

You returned to California, where you were waiting for a typical childhood movie star's son?.

Nothing like this. I lived with my mother and very modestly. I did not bathe in luxury. After graduation he worked in various places: a car parker, a builder, a barman.

You produce whiskey under your brand. Are these the consequences of working in a bar?.

I can say that I understand alcohol. Educated drunkard! Although it is not necessarily strong drinks: at dinner I often drink a glass of white wine.

The car is very average. Your first appearance in "Fast and Furious 8" is a skirmish with the hero Dwayne "Rocks" by Johnson. He grabs you by the throat and picks up. Very funny, but how did you take it?.

Duane is a mountain of muscles. He could really do it! But that I did not give up the ends after a couple of takes, I was attached to the cables, on which they raised and lowered. The feeling was surreal: you are enough for the throat itself, "Rock"! Immediately felt that I'm doing a very cool movie.

The role of the villain in "Forsage-8" was performed by Charlize Theron. Did you like working with it?.

It worked perfectly. How can such a beautiful woman be so treacherous? In this, probably, is the skill of Charlize as an actress.

Each part of "Forsage" ends with a scene with a barbecue. This time it happened on the roof of a skyscraper in New York. Why did the barbecue become the business card of the franchise?.

Because the film is mostly about family and friends. And Barbecue is such a universal American way to meet with family and colleagues in an informal setting. It does not matter what class you are from and what your wealth is.

Have you learned anything new while working on "Forsage"?.

I drive the car, it seems, as before, - very average! (Laughs). ) I can not say that I learned something specific, but each film leaves its mark. I try to hang out on the court, even when I'm not in the scene - I remember everything that happens, and I ask many questions. Technical tricks, use of the background, techniques for working with the camera - I'm interested in this.

Do you think you should go to directing?.

Yes, certainly!.

What would you take?.

A little melodrama.

With you in the lead role?.

I do not know: so far I have not thought of.

Nobody canceled your genes. What kind of director is he?.

Very accurate and taciturn. We built the frame, quickly took off - move on! My father is 86 years old, and he values ??time. I found a good script, selected the actors, took them off, released them - and immediately took on the next project. He comes to the office every day, although in his years many go to Florida to play golf.

Do you currently live in California?.

In San Diego, north of Los Angeles and Hollywood.

Why not in Beverly Hills?.

People build too much of themselves. In San Diego is the same climate, but the people are easier and calmer.

Celebrities often find it hard to find themselves. The fact that you were born the son of Clint Eastwood is a blessing or a curse?.

I already passed a certain path - this is when I thought, right now, with the name of Reeves, I will prove to everyone that I'm worth something by myself. In some films, he withdrew, ticked off. On the one hand, the father never called the producers with the words: "Attach to my son, please! ". On the other hand, nobody canceled genes. Appearance plays a big role in show business. My father is a movie star, and if you have his face, that's half the success. I do not lie if I say that I say to God every day: "Thank you, that my father is Clint Eastwood! ".
