Actor Scott Eastwood Reveals One Of His Girlfriends Died In A Car Crash

Scott Eastwood is opening up about a painful part of his past.

In a new interview with GQ Australia, the actor revealed the story of one of his past girlfriends who died in a car accident, adding that the heartbreaking experience may contribute to his attitude on dating today.

"I dated a girl a couple of years ago who died in a car accident," Eastwood said. "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, and...I've never told anybody that."

"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. Maybe it's made it harder for me to date."

He also offered his thoughts on love in general, noting that he has a new perspective on things now.

"It's easy to fall in love when you're young, right?" he said. "And then you start to realize those feelings of love and stuff, passion, love, lust, sometimes they come very quickly, but they can also leave quickly."

Eastwood added that his younger days as a bartender made meeting women easy.

"That was probably the wildest time...," he shared. "It still beats out being in movies or whatever. It still beats out all that, a thousand times."
