"A Dream Come True" Scott Eastwood Chosen to Join Fast & Furious Crew
Scott Eastwood, son of movie legend Clint Eastwood has been selected to join the cast of the Fast & Furious franchise for the 8th instalment in the series, calling it a “dream come true” as well as including a tribute to the late Paul Walker on Instagram:
“It’s hard to put into words how excited I am for the next Fast & Furious,” “To me, the series is so much more than a franchise. It’s a legacy. These great actors who have been in it together for so long have become a family. I absolutely can’t wait to join it.”
Adding, “Paul was a close friend of mine. We surfed together, travelled together, and he was a huge role model and influencing figure in my life when I was younger. He still is. He was an older brother to me. For me to be able to add to the F&F story, Paul’s story, and the FAST family is like a dream come true.”
Already having officially confirmed Kurt Russell’s return to the franchise, the new movie is shaping up to be a good one. Universal hit up Twitter to give us just a taste to all this juicy news:

Eastwood also went onto social media to tell us just how excited he is about all of this, saying:
“Now I can’t say too much, but I get to play a new character who operates under Kurt Russell in the movie, which is incredible, because Kurt was a total childhood hero of mine growing up,” “Very much looking forward to learning a thing or two from such an original and cool guy.”
Director and producer Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) is set to director the movie which is scheduled to come to the big screen o n14th April 2017.
