CALLED OUT

Actor Blasts ‘Piece of S**t’ Co-Star Who Quit Movie Mid-Production

The star said the incident revealed the ugly side of the entertainment industry.

Scott Eastwood is calling out a co-star who he claims abruptly walked away from a film after production was already underway.

Speaking on a June episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the 40-year-old actor said he worked with an unnamed celebrity who “got too famous for too long” and believed “the world owes them something.”

“They decided after we’d already spent a bunch of money that they just didn’t want to work with this other person and didn’t want to do the job,” Eastwood recalled.

When Eastwood suggested the actor should repay the money invested in the project, he said the response was: “I’m not gonna do that.”

Eastwood claimed the actor simply left the project without reimbursing the financial loss.

“It’s black and white. Do the right thing. Don’t be a piece of s--t. You can’t do that,” he said, calling the situation “shocking” and “unbelievable.” He added that he has seen behavior in Hollywood “that would not go in other industries” because celebrities are often treated differently.

Despite his criticism, Eastwood said he still loves filmmaking and credited his father, Clint Eastwood, with instilling a strong work ethic, describing the 96-year-old Oscar winner as “a put-your-boots-on, go-to-work man.”

As fans began speculating about who the unnamed star was, they pointed back to a past Fast and Furious feud. Eastwood was part of The Fate of the Furious (2017), which made headlines for the clash between Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Near the end of filming The Fate of the Furious, Johnson shared a now-deleted social media post praising his female co-stars but calling out an unnamed male co-star as unprofessional and “candya--es”

Reports later surfaced that Diesel and Johnson had major disagreements on set. The feud was sparked over Diesel’s alleged late arrival times and creative vision.

Because of the intense tension, the actors were kept apart, and all interactions from the final cut were stitched together using body doubles and digital editing. The actors have since reconciled.
