Take a good look at this face. Recognize it? Talk about being a chip off the ol’ block. Stick a cigar in his mouth and Scott Eastwood is the spitting image of his dad Clint. Go ahead and make my day, Scott. I’d love to go for a ride in your Gran Torino. I’ll be your million dollar baby or your dirty harry, you just say which. Okay, enough with the Clint Eastwood movie puns. Scott, 27, is featured in the latest issue of Town & Country modeling watches or something, and tells the mag he wants to follow in his father’s footsteps (he’s already been in a few of his movies) as a “no bullshit leading man.” Um, yes please.
Hollywood is where nepotism thrives, especially for the sexy sons of the elite royalty. Kirk and Michael (Douglas). Martin and Charlie (Sheen). Donald and Kiefer (Sutherland). Clint and Scott (Eastwood). But who is among the next generation of celebrity spawn breaking into the biz and following in their famous kin’s footsteps? I’ve unearthed 11 other hotties with Hollywood blood worth watching…
