Francesca Eastwood Says Clint Eastwood Was A 'Strict' Dad
Clint, known for his illustrious career as an actor and director, has been married several times and is a proud father of eight children, along with numerous grandchildren.
Francesca specifically opened up about her experience growing up with such a legendary figure as a father while also reflecting on the differences she observes in him as a grandparent, offering a unique perspective on his evolution from a dedicated dad to a doting granddad.
“I mean, just the sweetest. You know, my dad was very strict and my mom — both my parents were very strict with me when I was a kid," she told Fox. "And it’s so lovely and sometimes bittersweet to just see how just doting and just classic grandpa and grandma to their grandson who can do no wrong. But it’s lovely. And they have their own relationship that I’m obviously involved in. They’re fantastic, and they’re so present.”
Francesca Eastwood Opens Up About Filmmaking
Francesca fondly remembers her childhood spent on film sets alongside her parents, describing it as a “huge blessing” that allowed her to observe their craft and learn from their experiences.
“I have such a respect and an appreciation for all that goes into making a film,” she said. “It really is somewhere that I feel — I feel like it’s a home away from home, being on set no matter what, no matter what the set is. Some are better than others but I feel like it was a huge blessing in that it opened my world to something that I really love to do, and I appreciate them for kind of treating me like an adult in that way. At a very young age.”
This early exposure to the entertainment industry fueled her passion for acting, inspiring her to pursue a career in the field herself.
Francesca's Son Loves Watching Clint Eastwood On Screen
Francesca and her son, Titan, who recently turned 6, bond over watching Francesca's dad and Titan's grandpa's movies.
“[Titan] loves watching his old movies, he loves the Dirty Harry movies. And it's great because a lot of them I haven't seen, so I get to kind of watch some of these movies that I never saw because we never sat down and watched them growing up. We watched his new stuff,” Francesca told Us Weekly.
"Now he wants to be a director," she added of Titan, "and he understands what shots are and what everyone's roles are and camera angles. To see him have this understanding at such a young age, and this curiosity that I'm definitely trying to feed into as much as possible, is really fun."
