Scott Eastwood "doesn't know what to make of" his heartthrob status

He said: "I don’t know what to make of that. To me, there are a ton of good looking people in California. There are a ton of better-looking people than me. I’m just trying to be in good movies, produce movies, put together stories that people respond to and like. I guess people [call me a heartthrob], but for me it was never about being that. I’m just a guy, just a normal guy. I go up there and try to work hard and put my head down. I try to be a better person every day."

And in news that will delight his fans, the 31-year-old actor has confirmed that he is currently single but did say he has "had very special women" in his life.

He told the new issue of Haute Living magazine: "I’ve had very special women in my life, but right now I’m single."

Meanwhile, Scott previously admitted he finds it hard to date after he lost a girlfriend in a car accident.

He shared: "I dated a girl a couple of years ago who died in a car accident. The f***ed 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. But, I had never lost someone I had been really intimate with. Maybe it's made it harder for me to date."

And Scott now understands how fleeting love can be.

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