5 Reasons to Be Excited for Scott Eastwood's New Movie

The smokin' hot model (and yes, son of Clint) stars in the upcoming Nicholas Sparks film, The Longest Ride, out in April. We got an exclusive sneak peek, which will leave you crushing hard on the actor

REASON NO. 1: IT'S A NICHOLAS SPARKS MOVIE

Twentieth Century Fox

A Nicholas Sparks movie about a bull rider. A bull rider in love. Excuse us while we go preorder tickets. (And by the way, Eastwood revealed that he actually got on a bull while shooting.) "You've got to get in there and handle business," he tells PEOPLE. "It's no place for the faint-hearted."

REASON NO. 2: HE WEARS A COWBOY HAT FOR MUCH OF THE FILM

Twentieth Century Fox

And he looks damn good in that cowboy hat. (Here, he's seen with costar Britt Robertson. The two play a couple and their love story intertwines with another love story.)

REASON NO. 3: HE ATTENDED THE RYAN GOSLING SCHOOL OF KILLING IT IN A NICHOLAS SPARKS MOVIE

Twentieth Century Fox

And by that we mean he saw Ryan Gosling in another Sparks flick – so he knows what it takes to get everyone feeling all the feelings in the theater. "I did watch The Notebook," says Eastwood. "And I did cry my eyes out."

REASON NO. 4: EASTWOOD'S EASY ON THE EYES

Twentieth Century Fox

He made a name for himself as a model this past year. Though, when we ask him what it's like being considered a sex symbol, he responds, "That's silly. People make a big deal about it, but I'm just happy to be working." Hot and humble.

REASON NO. 5: THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE KNEE-WEAKENINGLY SWEET SCENE

Twentieth Century Fox

(Did we mention it's a Nicholas Sparks movie?) And it may very well surpass the kiss-in-the-rain scene from The Notebook.
