“One Tree Hill” star Jana Kramer has often recalled some embarrassing moments from her single dating days on her iHeartRadio podcast. During a recent interview with Insider promoting new items in her LuluSimonStudio athleisure line, Kramer confessed that she shared one of the most awkward moments in her life with an ex’s dad — who just so happened to be Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood.
Jana Kramer talks about the matter
Kramer, who briefly dated the Oscar-winning director’s son Scott Eastwood in 2013, said that she found herself unable to “shut up” when she started talking about his 2004 movie “Million Dollar Baby” and even criticized the ending.
“I decided to tell him how I thought ‘Million Dollar Baby’ should have ended,” she said of her years-ago conversation with Eastwood, who directed the film and also starred in it as boxing manager Frankie Dunn.
Opposite Eastwood, “Million Dollar Baby” stars Hilary Swank as Maggie Fitzgerald, a female fighter on a quest to become a professional boxer who enlists Frankie’s help. In her final fight against a known “dirty fighter,” Maggie is taken down by her opponent’s illegal punch, which causes her to hit her neck on a wooden stool in the ring and become paralyzed.
Kramer had said that in her opinion, Maggie’s opponent should have been disqualified for throwing other illegal punches long before she struck the fateful blow and that Maggie should’ve won the match. And she told Eastwood as much.
“He just looked at me and was like, ‘Hmm, didn’t think about that,'” the “Beautiful Lies” singer told Insider of Eastwood’s reaction.
