Scott Eastwood, son ofClint Eastwoodhas impressed the audience with his remarkable roles in films likeGran Torino, Texas Chainsaw, andSuicide Squadamong many others.
In a 2016 interview withEsquire, the former was asked to reveal one key thing that would help him in perfectly nailing his father’s role if he were to play the latter in a film.
He shared,
“Well, I wouldn’t have to speak that much.”
This absolutely made his father laugh who commented that even“so little”can express a lot. Agreeing with what Senior Eastwood said, the former mentioned,
“Yeah, right—go through the script and cut all your lines.”
Commenting on that, the director stated,
“Keep your eyes open and your big mouth shut.”
It is quite a basic principle he swears by even now as he understands how an action is quite a powerful tool on its own that sometimes even surpass the power of words. His answer was strikingly similar to Tom Hanks’s thoughts who once shared howMillion Dollar Babystar treats his actors.

In a 2016 appearance onThe Graham Norton Show,Tom Hanksshared the working style of the iconic director stating how he treats his actors on set.
“He treats his actors like horses because when he did the 60s series Rawhide, the director would shout ‘Action!’ and all the horses bolted.”
TheForrest Gumpactor mentioned,
So when he’s in charge, he says in a really quiet soft voice, ‘All right, go ahead,’ and instead of shouting ‘Cut!’ he says ‘That’s enough of that.’It’s intimidating as hell!”
TheCry Machodirector likes to speak in a low voice after he had not so pleasant experience while working on his breakout series,Rawhide. At the time, when directors used to scream, Action!, it would surprise the horses hence he decided to keep a different approach. While there are rarely any horses in films nowadays, his habit just stuck with him forever thus making his directorial style different.
