Scott Eastwood has spoken for the first time of the death of a girl he was dating in a car accident.
The Suicide Squad actor and son of director Clint Eastwood told GQ Magazine the last time he cried was after the death of the woman, who he did not name, a few years before.
“I dated a girl a couple of years ago who died in a car accident,” he told the magazine. “The f**ked-up thing is, it was a fender bender, and there was a recall on airbags. Her airbag exploded. It shot a projectile through her body. It split her spine. I’ve never told anybody that.”
Eastwood, 30, said her sudden death has made dating women more difficult. He never contacted the girl’s father after her death because he had never found the “right words” to say to him.
“I’ve lost friends before; I’ve lost some great friends,” he added. “But, I had never lost someone I had been really intimate with.”
