Clint Eastwood previously worked with son Scott Eastwood in Gran Torino and Honkytonk Man. Their roles in such films were marginal but integral to Scott Eastwood's career. Reports state that Clint put Scott through strict tests on film sets, doing his best without any favor because he was Scott Eastwood's father. Scott has become one of the top male leads in action movies like Fate of the Furious and Pacific Rim: Uprising. He says Clint was instrumental in making him a man of discipline and hard work, values that he now exhibits as his Hollywood career steadily grows.
