They were like, \u2018I\u2019m not gonna do that\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nScott said the individual then left the production altogether.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cIt was their directorial, their story, their thing.

You can\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve seen some behavior in this business that is shocking. That would not go in other industries, but for some reason because they\u2019re stars, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHe also described the entertainment industry as \u201creally ugly\u201d behind the scenes, while adding his passion for filmmaking remains unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>\nScott said: \u201cI love telling stories and when we\u2019re doing a creative endeavor and you move people, whether you\u2019ll make them laugh, make them cry, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nElsewhere in the podcast interview, Scott reflected on the work ethic instilled in him by Clint, saying his father approached filmmaking with discipline rather than celebrity.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said Clint was \u201ca put-your-boots-on, go-to-work man\u201d who left his job \u201cat the door\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\nScott has previously spoken about his father\u2019s advice during an interview with Treats! magazine in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cWhatever you do, do it well. Be humble, work hard and be a man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nScott added Clint never pressured him to pursue acting.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added his father \u201cdidn\u2019t care\u201d whether he became \u201ca plumber\u2026 or actor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\nScott also said: \u201cI didn\u2019t get in this to be famous.
