Eastwood began his career by using his given last name to avoid nepotism, although there is another actor named Scott Reeves.

Personal life
In August 2017, Eastwood opened up to the media about the death of his former girlfriend, Jewel Brangman, who was killed on September 7, 2014, by a faulty Takata airbag. The airbag exploded in her face after a minor automobile accident in her 2001 Honda Civic. Metal shrapnel from the explosion severed her carotid artery.[19][20]
Eastwood learned Brazilian jiu-jitsu after Paul Walker got him into martial arts.[21][22][23]
Eastwood has spoken about his experiences in Hollywood in 2022 and compared it to being "in a circus". He stated that "It's an amazing circus at times, but living on the road, I think it would be tough. I don't have a family yet, but I want that someday, and I think about what that would look like with kids and being away from them. That worries me."[24]
