The California native described the horrific death, that he had never before revealed to anyone.

“It was a fender bender, and there was a recall on airbags”, Eastwood explains of the accident’s cause.

Jewel was killed when a faulty airbag in her Honda Civic sent metal shrapnel into her neck during a fender-bender in September 2014. “It split her spine”, the actor told GQ Australia in a new interview for the September/October issue. I never talked about it to anyone.

When Scott was working and putting himself through school at Santa Barbara City College, the 86-year-old wouldn’t even loan him money to get a vehicle.

“He said, ‘I didn’t reach out because I didn’t know what to say, ‘” the father added. “I’ve never told anybody that”. I’ve never told anybody that. Maybe it ‘ is why I have trouble getting out with girls.

He put himself through school and was a bartender before landing roles – a cameo in Gran Torino (where Eastwood snr calls him “a pussy”) and as Taylor Swift love interest in her Wildest Dreams film clip. “I still haven’t found the right words”.

The up-and-coming star pointed out that it’s very easy to fall in love at a young age and the feelings and emotions that come with it can go away just as quickly as they arise. “I’d like to get to know more of what he went through”. And I left her and I didn’t think about it at the time. If you did something wrong, you were going to get punished. “I want to support her financially, as she wanted to take a chance in the entertainment field”. He popped me in the face and said, ‘You don’t ever leave your sister at a party.

While Eastwood was said to be absent during the group dinner, a source close to the actor confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that the “Fast 8” actor was actually in NY and did dine at the restaurant, but claims about him and Lima were just made up. This is a job!’ And I could hear myself, after I said it, I could hear my father inside of me saying it, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m turning into my father’. “I learnt quickly – you don’t do that”.
