Scott Eastwood shared a story on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast this week about his father Clint Eastwood and actor Kevin Costner during the filming of the 1993 film A Perfect World.

According to Eastwood, Costner reportedly would not leave his trailer on set at one point during production. Clint Eastwood, who directed and starred in the film alongside Costner, responded simply by saying Well, send him home then, and Costner was sent home for the day.
Eastwood, appearing on the Aug. 3 episode of the podcast, was careful to note that he was not present for the incident and was recounting a secondhand story passed down within his family. He acknowledged his memory of the account might not be perfect, given that it happened years before he was working in the industry himself.
A Perfect World paired Clint Eastwood as director with Costner in the lead role of an escaped convict who takes a young boy hostage, with Eastwood himself playing a supporting role as a Texas Ranger tracking them down. The film was released in 1993 and has remained a notable entry in both actors’ filmographies.
Scott Eastwood, who has built his own acting career in recent years with roles in films including Fury and The Fate of the Furious, has spoken publicly before about growing up around his father’s film sets and the stories that came with that upbringing.
The anecdote quickly circulated on social media and entertainment outlets after the podcast episode aired, with fans and industry watchers reacting to the glimpse into the working dynamic between two of Hollywood‘s most prominent figures from that era. Neither Clint Eastwood nor Kevin Costner has publicly commented on the story since it surfaced.
