During a 2019 segment with Extra TV, reporter Jenn Lahmers interviewed Scott Eastwood and “busted his chops.” And by “busted his chops,” she just touched him, asked him for advice on driving, and then asked him to be her plus one to the company’s holiday party.

“Open bar,” Eastwood asks. “I’m on the cusp.”

The segment ends, but in another video, Billy Bush (lol) breaks down the flirting between Lahmers and Eastwood, telling Lahmers what a great job she did. And then in another video, Bush asks Lahmers if Eastwood had made a move yet. Lahmers says he had not slid into her DMs yet.

I hope for everyone involved they ended up at least getting a drink; otherwise, it’s all just too uncomfortable for me to bear.

Scott Eastwood, actor and Hottest Man Alive, might be best known for being the son of Clint Eastwood and flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves. (Scott is Clint’s fifth child, however on Scott’s birth certificate, it reads “Father Declined.”) In almost every interview Scott does, the reporter asks about his father.

Scott grew up in Hawaii with his mother but moved to California to live with his dad when he was in high school. Scott says he first realized his dad was the Clint Eastwood when he was 8 and watched Unforgiven. Scott was a rebellious child, often sneaking out. One time Clint punched Scott in the face for leaving his sister at a party. Scott always describes his father as old-school, adding that Clint makes Scott audition to be in Clint’s movies. Scott auditioned for American Sniper (he didn’t get it, but editor’s note: He should have). In the beginning of his career, Scott didn’t want to get jobs by simply being Clint’s son, so Scott went by his mother’s last name until eventually taking on Eastwood.

“My dad is very old-school and he’s very, very tough on his sons —I have an older brother — and it just doesn’t happen like that in our family,” Scott said on Joe Rogan’s podcast. “There’s no handouts. You want something, you gotta go get it and I can’t thank him enough for that because it never gave me any backup. It didn’t make me go, ‘Well, I can just sit around.’ It created drive. Hard work and drive and those are all the things it takes to make somebody successful.”

One time Scott took a date to dinner with his dad and Clint told the date to ditch Scott and go out with him. I think about this once a week.

The point is: They have a relationship. An old-school one!

The thing about Scott Eastwood is he’s the most attractive man alive. And yet he’s not on every billboard in Hollywood or starring in every movie like I think he should be. He should be the face of a cologne. Maybe like Calvin Klein. That would be a good one. He should also be a superhero. He should have been in Knives Out instead of Chris Evans. He should be Captain America instead of Chris Evans. Basically what I’m saying is Chris Evans needs to go and Scott Eastwood needs to replace him.

But if you don’t know, Scott Eastwood is an actor but more notably, he’s Clint Eastwood’s son. He’s starred in The Longest Ride, a Nicholas Sparks movie, where he plays a bull rider with brain damage. He was also in a movie with Ana de Armas called Overdrive. He was in Suicide Squad (never saw it). And he was in a Fast and the Furious film (never saw it). He starred in Taylor Swift’s music video for “Wildest Dreams” and it’s the single best piece of cinema in recent history. He’s been in other movies, too, but you get the gist. He’s an actor. He acts. He’s incredible.

You all wanted to know more about him, so let me answer your questions.

Will he star in a Dirty Harry reboot?

I had to Google this. Apparently Dirty Harry is a Clint Eastwood film that I have never seen.

There was a Reddit thread about this:

Did he go to college?

He attended  Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and earned a degree in communications. That college has a 43% acceptance rate, according to Google. My alma mater has a 68% acceptance rate, so do what you want with that information.

What’s his relationship like with his father? His mother?

I will dive more into this on another day. His mother is a flight attendant.

Siblings?

He has so many fucking siblings, it’s actually insane. Clint Eastwood does not stop. Clint has eight kids that he claims. Scott has one full sibling and roughly seven half-siblings.

Why is he so attractive?

I don’t know. It haunts me.

High school attended. College? Just curious where he was educated. Good luck!

OK, wow, a lot of interest in his education! He went to Carmel High School in California.

When are you going to watch Gran Torino? He plays a punk wannabe hip-hop kid in it.

This is the second time someone has suggested I watch this movie. Idk, fam, sounds kind of awful.

His relationship with Clint

I’m going to dive into this deeper on a different day. They do have a relationship, though!

Who is Scott Eastwood?

An actor

Did Clint spank him as a child?

Considering he punched him, I assume so.
