Brad Pitt mentors Scott Eastwood

OHMYGOSSIP — Brad Pitt has told Scott Eastwood he needs to keep his shirt on if he is to become a major Hollywood star! The actor, 50, has been mentoring several young actors on the set of Fury, his new World War II thriller.

Pitt initially focused on 27-year-old Shia LaBeouf. But after Shia accidentally smacked Brad in the face with the smoking-hot barrel of a machine gun while fooling around on the set, a source says the superstar — who raises six kids with partner Angelina Jolie — turned his attention toward Scott, who’s the spitting image of his dad, Clint Eastwood.

“Being a longtime hunk, Brad is an expert on how to rise above the label of being a pretty boy actor,” said an insider.

“And he’s advised Scott to ditch the beefcake photos and work on his acting skills. He told Scott to hunker down, get some acting chops and pick his film projects carefully.”

While filming in England, Brad was dubbed “The Professor” by younger cast members including Shia, Logan Lerman, 21, and former male model Eastwood.

“Brad was a father figure for the younger guys and gave them lots of pointers on the ins and outs of show business,” said the source.

“Despite their little dustup, Shia considers Brad his role model.”
