Scott Eastwood Hung Out with 'Badass' Sylvester Stallone While Making New Movie, But 'Can’t Repeat' Some Stories (Exclusive)

“I got the dirt. I got all the dirt,” Scott Eastwood teases.

He’s talking about hanging out with Sylvester Stallone behind the scenes of their new action movie Alarum, but beyond a few generalities he declines to get specific about his conversations with the 78-year-old Rocky and Rambo icon.

“I got some stories, probably some ones I can’t repeat,” he continues. How about sharing a PG anecdote? “PG?” asks Eastwood with a smile. “No, not too many PG ones.”

What Eastwood will say: “He's the real deal. He doesn't have some big ego some of these people have in the film industry. He's just a great dude.”

Tough guys, it seems, have a code of silence. And in the past decade Eastwood, 38, has rightfully earned the title of tough guy, like Stallone and his own father, 94-year-old Oscar winner Clint Eastwood.

In the years since he broke out in Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” music video and the 2015 Nicholas Sparks romantic drama The Longest Ride, Eastwood has stacked his résumé with movies that require him to pack heat and kick butt, including Pacific Rim: Uprising, The Outpost and Overdrive.

He continues the trend with Alarum. Eastwood plays a former spy — now living off the grid with his wife, a fellow ex-agent (Willa Fitzgerald) — who’s tracked down by dangerous people from his past.

Director Michael Polish says Eastwood easily went toe to toe with Stallone in the scenes they shared. “Watching Scott and Sly together was like witnessing a master class in nuance and energy,” says Polish. “Sly brings a wealth of experience and gravitas, and Scott rises to meet that.”

Of course, being in action movies has drawbacks, namely injuries. “When you’re doing fight sequences, it’s like being in a fight every day,” Eastwood says. “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.’ ”

Asked to recap the injuries he’s racked up, the actor quips, “How much time do you have?”

But Eastwood, whose mother, Jacelyn Reeves, is a former flight attendant, isn’t one to grumble — a lesson he learned early on from his dad, a father of eight.

“You don’t complain. You don’t whine. You just do,” says Eastwood, who was inspired to get into acting early on after seeing his father at work. “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.”

Alarum is in theaters, on digital and on demand on Friday, Jan. 17.
