Great genes! Clint's son Scott Eastwood goes shirtless and barefoot as he works out under blazing California sunshine

Why spend money on expensive gym gear and sneakers, when you can just strip off for an impromptu work-out wearing jeans?

Scott Eastwood, the son of screen legend Clint, certainly didn't see the point when he went without footwear or a shirt while working up a sweat in Santa Monica on Wednesday. 

The 28-year-old actor kept his jeans on, complete with leather belt and a huge silver buckle, and a baseball cap - as he put himself through his paces in the California sun.

Perhaps it was an impromptu workout in his busy schedule, as the actor chose to improvise using street furniture instead of fancy gym equipment.

He looked in great shape as he swung from a telegraph pole in the unusual choice of attire, pulling himself up with impressive ease.

Scott also squeezed in some press-ups and sit-ups before running laps barefoot of the gruelling Santa Monica steps - an outdoor workout hotspot.

There are 199 concrete stairs, not for the feint-hearted, which the actor seemed to tackle with ease. 

All the hard work clearly worked up an appetite, Scott was seen casually sitting in the tailgate of his truck, tucking heartily into a take-out chicken from Whole Foods straight after stopping. 

The healthy-living hottie plays a bull rider in the latest Nicholas Sparks movie, The Longest Ride, and looks in great shape ahead of the movie's release on April 10th.

Scott, who looks remarkably similar to a young Clint Eastwood, is following in his famous father's footsteps. 

He has also been cast alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley in the upcoming biopic film Snowden, directed by Oliver Stone and set to release at Christmas. 

His father Clint directed war drama biopic American Sniper, nominated for an Academy Award this year.
