- This next guy I'm going to be talking
with is a terrific actor, outstanding.
You've seen him in movies
like "The Longest Ride",
"Suicide Squad", and "The
Fate of the Furious".
You can see him now in "The Outpost".
It's available on demand
wherever you get your movies.
Here is a clip.
- What you looking at that Sergeant?
- Seeing what they see?
Several.
Is that Americans?
- (bleep) (bleep) buzz kill man.
- Every time they take a pot shot at us,
they're figuring us out.
When the big one comes,
all of us dialed in.
- Alright, everybody.
Let's welcome Scott Eastwood.
Hey, what's up Scott?
- Hey, what's going on?
- Hey, well, I'm super jealous.
I hear you're in Texas.
Ah, where are you at in Texas?
- I'm in Austin.
- Oh, that, what a great city.
I mean, I know it's still like COVID,
and you can't do everything like normal,
but it's a great city.
Such great food, oh.
I have a question.
Why are you not wearing this outfit
that I saw on your Instagram?
I feel like we deserved this.
- [Scott] I only wear that
when "Tiger King" is on.
- Did you get obsessed with that series?
Did you watch all of it?
My friends all were obsessed with it.
- I did, I did watch it.
I watched every hillbilly second of it.
- Okay, yeah. I gotta be honest with you.
That's exactly why I only
got through like a bit of it,
because I was like,
this is actually making
me angry at humanity.
- I wondered, I wondered,
like I had these questions.
Like I was like, I wonder if
we weren't going through this,
if the show would have the same lust.
- Impact, yeah, I don't know.
- You know?
- But hey, but speaking of clothes,
this is cool.
You actually started a
company, and I love this.
Everything is made in the USA, right?
Like all the clothes?
- Right here, made here.
- That's so cool.
- We just started it.
We wanted to localize products,
support, you know, the American economy,
support your neighbor and just start
being a little bit more local.
- That's really cool that
you've invested in America
and Americans, like making this stuff.
It's really cool.
But aside from that, you're
in all these awesome movies,
but your new movie, "The
Outpost" is in theaters
and on demand now.
So for everybody that doesn't know,
what's it about?
- "The Outpost" is about a true
story in Afghanistan, 2009,
based on a bestselling book
that Jake Tapper wrote.
And, you know, it's about
his experiences there.
It's about what happened that day.
Out of that day came a ton of heroism,
two Medal of Honor recipients,
which I play one of, Clinton Romesha,
but more importantly,
it's about all the people that were there
and the people that ultimately
paid the ultimate sacrifice
for their country and
celebrating and honoring them.
And it's a great, it's
an incredible story.
It's an incredible true story.
And I think, you know, I think
it turned out pretty good.
- That's incredible.
So you've actually been in a number
of movies about the military.
I imagine you've been,
I know a lot of actors like to go
and actually meet people
and the characters they're portraying.
So what's something you've learned
from hanging around those guys
that will always stick with you,
that you weren't necessarily shocked by,
but maybe it was just a direct impact,
'cause you're meeting them
and you're shaking their hand.
- Sure, that's a good question.
Yeah, every time you work on a true story
or you work on stuff with our military,
I think I always find that
I meet incredible people.
People who have, you know,
just a ton of perspective,
a lot of perspective from
traveling all over the world.
And, you know, I always
find myself, you know,
really humbled and just
wanting to do the best by them
you know, when we work on these projects.
- Yeah, I think anytime I've ever been
around anyone like that in
whatever I've been singing at or anything,
it always makes me want
to be a better human,
like a better version of myself.
And I think that that's
really important too,
that the perspective
you were talking about,
but we've actually been
continuing the conversation
about race on our show
because that's how, you know,
we will affect real change, I believe.
And by continuing to talk about it,
and it's uncomfortable
for a lot of people,
but I think it's okay to be uncomfortable.
I think that's how change comes.
So how have you been personally dealing
with making real changes in your life?
Like for me, mine was, I asked my friends,
and I was like,
"What is the best thing I can do?"
And, you know, they said using
your platform is amazing,
but also just listening
instead of trying to fix it,
like just listen.
And I think that that's
really an important thing
that I've been working on.
So I didn't know.
Is there anything in
your life you feel like
you're trying to do.
- I think the same, I think the same,
I think a lot of listening,
a lot of learning, a lot of conversations,
maybe taking a second and third look at
what I thought I knew reality to be
or what I perceived to be
and, you know, just
have compassion, right?
Just put yourself in other people's shoes,
other people's experiences.
And I think the more we
can do that as humans,
the more we can understand
and help to work towards
bettering these problems.
I agree, I agree.
Well, thank you so much for dropping in.
I know, man, I've been
in Austin, Texas a lot,
so I know that you don't want
to be on the phone there.
You want to be out and enjoying Austin.
So thank you for jumping
in and joining us.
And everybody you can
watch Scott's new movie,
"The Outpost" and it's
available now on demand.
