Сын Клинта Иствуда – вылитый отец

Ноя 06, 2020

Клинт Иствуд многими считается настоящей легендой Голливуда. За свою продолжительную карьеру, начиная с тех дней, когда он сыграл роль Джона Лукаса в малобюджетной "Долине смерти", и заканчивая известными на весь мир вестернами из "Долларовой трилогии", этот актёр стал известен миллионам зрителей по всему миру в своём романтичном амплуа крутого парня с парой пистолетов, пончо и золотым сердцем. Иствуд сыграл роль ковбоя в знаменитых кинофильмах "За пригоршню долларов", "На несколько долларов больше" и "Хороший, плохой, злой". Эта трилогия итальянского режиссёра Серджо Леоне стала классикой жанра спагетти-вестерн. Сегодня мы бы хотели поподробнее рассказать о творческом пути этого талантливого актёра и поделиться пятью фотографиями его сына Скотта, который удивительно похож на своего звёздного папу.

While Clint Eastwood is a Hollywood mainstay, his roots are rather humble. He's a self-made movie star and his biography proves it. Born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, California, Clint Eastwood's family grew up in a wealthy area of town in a house that had a swimming pool, while each parent had their own car and the family belonged to a country club. His father was a manufacturing executive at Georgia-Pacific, while his mother worked in a clerical role at IBM. 

As a young man, Clint Eastwood worked in a range of odd jobs including as a lifeguard, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, golf caddy, and paper carrier. While he attempted to enroll at Seattle University in 1951, he was instead drafted into the United States Army during the middle of the Korean War. He never served overseas, however, with his former partner Sondra Locke once stating:

"He always dropped the Korean War reference, hoping everyone would conclude that he was in combat and might be some sort of hero. Actually, he'd been a lifeguard at Fort Ord in northern California for his entire stint in the military."

Incidentally, it was his time stationed at Fort Ord that led to his career in Hollywood. Although the exact story of how he caught the attention of notable people in the film industry is disputed, he eventually made it to the audition process, and while prominent producer Arthur Lubin was impressed with his looks, he disapproved of Clint Eastwood's acting. Nonetheless, he signed an acting contract in 1954 that included attending drama classes.

Клинт Иствуд в очередной раз удивил любителей вестернов своим актёрским мастерством в семидесятых годах, когда он многим запомнился своим призывом сделать этот город красным в знаменитой киноленте "Наездник с высоких равнин", вышедшей на экраны в 1973 году. В это десятилетие Иствуд продолжал сниматься и в других вестернах, но больше всего запомнился любителям кино по своим ролям в фильмах других жанров. А в конце 80-х актёру даже довелось поработать в должности мэра небольшого городка Кармел, расположенного в Калифорнии, как сообщается в его биографии на сайте clinteastwood.net. Кроме того, тогда же он дважды стал отцом – Скотта Иствуда и Кэтрин. Позднее у актёра родилось ещё несколько детей – Кимбер, Кайл, Элисон, Франческа и Морган.

Внешние сходства между отцом и сыном уже успели стать притчей во языцех в социальных сетях. На праздновании Хэллуина в 2016 году молодой Иствуд удивил всех собравшихся своим образом ковбоя в пончо и с огромной сигарой – точь-в-точь, как отец в фильме "Хороший, плохой, злой. Его поклонники со всего мира охотно делятся друг с другом его фотографиями и клипами в классическом для вестернов стиле. В Twitter, Instagram и других социальных сетях можно зачастую встретить фотоколлажи, изображающие Скотта бок о бок с его отцом в юности.

Clint Eastwood looked back on his earlier Hollywood days with clarity as he told Empire:

"I was the young guy who didn't have to worry too much."

Now Clint Eastwood isn't the only young cowboy in the family. His son Scott Eastwood is following suit and the young actor is even aware of his likeness to his father. Scott Eastwood even played-up their similarities by dressing just like his father's past character. According to Today, the younger Eastwood donned a poncho and cigar à la The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for Halloween in 2016. Son Scott Eastwood looked almost identical to how his father Clint Eastwood looked in the iconic 1996 Spaghetti Western film.

Скотт Иствуд не перестаёт удивлять киноманов со всего мира своей необычной внешностью, заставляющей многих путать его с отцом. двойник Клинта снялся в фильмах Кручёный мяч, Флаги наших отцов, Отряд Самоубийц , Непокорённый, Тихоокеанский рубеж 2, Кармел и Гран Торино. За свою карьеру он даже успел сыграть роль в настоящем ковбойском фильме под названием Дальняя дорога.

Out of his children, Clint Eastwood has a lot in common with Scott Eastwood, and they even reflected on their influences on each other in a 2016 joint interview with Esquire. Scott Eastwood told Esquire:

"My father's definitely old-school. And he raised me with integrity—to be places on time, show up, and work hard."

When the magazine even played with the idea that Clint Eastwood could be Scott Eastwood's wingman — since he certainly inherited good looks from his father — Clint Eastwood joked:

 "I could be the driver—the Uber guy saying, "I used to be in films years ago… ."

Scott Eastwood went on to humbly describe just how new he is to Hollywood in comparison to his father. He said:

"What I've discovered from working with my father is that I'm still learning. I'm just a kid in this business. But film is much more of a director's medium. And I've seen from my father transitioning into being a director, that's where the power lies. And, like he says, it's feast or famine for an actor. If you're not creating your own material, then you're just fighting for whatever's out there. I definitely have the desire to go to the other side."

Многим поклонником таланта Иствудов очень запомнилось видео, опубликованное на YouTube. В нём Скотт поделился несколькими семейными историями и рассказал об отношениях со своим звёздным отцом.

Closer Weekly reported that an inside source confirmed the Hollywood icon "keeps in touch with all eight of his children and their families." The source went on and said, "he's taken great comfort that at this time of his life, all his kids are close." That seems to be apparent, especially after every single one, as well as his ex-wife and current girlfriend, all turned up for the premiere of The Mule. To see them all coming out in support of their father and he for them is truly a wonderful sight to behold.

Clint Eastwood has achieved so much in his long and storied life and career. You'd be mistaken for not realizing he was 90, considering the rate at which he continues to act and direct. The Hollywood veteran even touched on his age while appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019. After being asked by Ellen Degeneres what his thoughts were on aging, Clint Eastwood replied "I don't think about it." He then elaborated on the topic, saying:

“I sometimes think, when I was a little kid and I used to hang out with my grandfather who was in his 90s, and I thought, ‘Jesus, who the h— would want to live this long," as he laughed.

Well, Degeneres had the last word when she quipped, "Turns out you do." We're sure Clint Eastwood didn't think about getting to 90 as he was busy living such a full life along the way. But seeing him at that age, still working and still going strong is truly an inspiration to everyone. And thankfully, he's been able to live long enough to witness his son Scott Eastwood begin to make waves in Hollywood just as he did a long time ago. 

Carrying on a family legacy can be rewarding and meaningful, but when your family legacy is the iconic Eastwood filmmaking lineage, there's a lot to uphold. It's no wonder that a number of Clint Eastwood's children have chosen to honor their father by following him into show business. While we're sure it's not the last we've seen of Clint Eastwood's career yet, we're just as looking forward to seeing what the next Eastwood generation, led by Scott Eastwood, will have in store for us.
