“I think I was lucky in some ways because I saw him grow up and I saw what kind of bullshit he was,” he said of some behavior on modern movie sets.

While Eastwood said he witnessed bad behavior on set as a teenager and visited his iconic father on set, the “Wrath of Man” star said his father “did a really good job protecting” him and his siblings from the pitfalls of child stardom.

She brought up this topic after she and Rogan started talking about child stars who rose to fame at a very young age, saying that when you become famous at a very young age, “you’re stunted in your growth.”

“I mean, thank you to my dad, because he did a really good job of protecting us from that, and he was very special,” she said. “We didn’t live in Los Angeles, we lived in Carmel. It was very…as normal as it could be, in terms of him saying, ‘No, you just need to be a normal kid and learn how the world works.'”

“My father was never like that,” he said. “He said: It’s a business. Go to work, do your best, delegate, make sure you know your job and come prepared, you’ve got something interesting on your plate but leave it at the door.”

In his new film, “Lucky Strike,” Scott plays a soldier who finds himself stranded behind enemy lines after the Battle of the Bulge between the United States and Germany during World War II.
