Clint Eastwood’s son Scott is starring alongside Sylvester Stallone in the new action movie Alarum, which hits theaters on Friday.
In a new interview, Scott opened up about just how fun it was to film a movie with the legendary former Rocky star – but he also kept some behind-the-scenes secrets that sound juicy!
Scott ‘Got The Dirt’ From Sly
“I got the dirt…I got all the dirt,” Scott, 38, told People Magazine. “I got some stories, probably some ones I can’t repeat.”
When Scott was asked if he could share a story from Sly that would be rated PG, he couldn’t help but smile.
“PG?” Scott asked. “No, not too many PG ones.”
“He’s the real deal,” he added of Sylvester, 78. “He doesn’t have some big ego some of these people have in the film industry. He’s just a great dude.”
That description sounds quite similar to how people describe Scott’s father, Clint.
In Alarum, Scott plays a former spy living off the grid with his wife, another ex-agent who is played by Willa Fitzgerald. Chaos ensues when Scott’s character is tracked down by some dangerous people from his past.
Check out a trailer for Alarum in the video below.
Scott Rose To The Occasion Of Working With Sly
Alarum was directed by Michael Polish, who said that Scott more than held his own with Sylvester in their scenes together. Scott is no “nepo baby”!
“Watching Scott and Sly together was like witnessing a master class in nuance and energy,” Polish stated. “Sly brings a wealth of experience and gravitas, and Scott rises to meet that.”

While Scott enjoyed making this movie, the action scenes came with some injuries for him.
“When you’re doing fight sequences, it’s like being in a fight every day,” he explained. “You go home, back to your hotel room or wherever you’re staying, and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, my body, I can’t move.’”
When asked how many injuries he had on this film, Scott responded, “How much time do you have?”
Despite all of this, Scott was a trooper who never complained on set. Indeed, he learned to behave that way from his famous father Clint, 94.
“You don’t complain, you don’t whine, you just do,” Scott concluded, adding of his dad, “He’s the reason I’m in this industry. It’s like anybody. If your dad’s a carpenter, maybe you’d become a carpenter.”

Clint’s Previous Advice For Scott
Scott is one of Clint’s eight children. His mother is Jacelyn Reeves, is a former flight attendant.
Last summer, Scott opened up about the simple piece of advice that his father gave him when he learned he wanted to go into acting himself.
“Follow your gut,” Scott told People Magazine in August when asked about his dad’s words of wisdom.
Scott has long been open about the advice his father has given him about the movie business. In 2016, he talked about the things that he learned growing up with Clint as his dad.
“My father’s definitely old-school,” he told Esquire at the time. “And he raised me with integrity — to be places on time, show up and work hard.”
As for Clint, he’s still making movies even at age 94. Indeed, his last directorial Juror #2 came out in the fall, and it was a hit!
Fans of the Eastwood family and Sly Stallone should definitely check out Alarum, which hits theaters tomorrow. In the end, this looks like one fun movie that is not to be missed!
