SCOTT Eastwood gave a heartbreaking answer when asked in an interview when was the last time he cried.

When asked by GQ Australia about the last time he cried, the 30-year-old actor and model publicly revealed for the first time that he’d suffered a devastating loss.

“I dated a girl a couple of years ago who died in a car accident,” he 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 spleen and … I’ve never told anybody that.”

Eastwood, who currently appears in Suicide Squad, said the tragedy still affects him to this day.

“I’ve lost friends before; I’ve lost some great friends. But, I’ve never lost someone I had been really intimate with. Maybe it’s made it harder for me to date,” he said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Eastwood opened up about life growing up with his famous father, Clint - who was a tough taskmaster.

“[Aged 16] I’d taken my younger sister, who was, like, 14, to a party. I left the party, maybe to go get beer with the guys. I left her and I didn’t think about it at the time. Later, Dad found out... He popped me in the face and said, ‘You don’t ever leave your sister at a party. EVER.’ “And it was very old-school, very old-school of him. He was not afraid. None of this new-age bullshit where you can’t even smack the kid because everyone’s so afraid of being judged or whatever. That wasn’t the way shit went down in that family… If you did something wrong, you were gonna get punished. I learnt quickly – you don’t do that.”
