Scott Eastwood is looking back at the time he got kicked out of middle school.

During a recent visit to the *Armchair Expert* podcast, the 40-year-old actor revealed that he and a group of fellow eighth graders got in some serious trouble after they raided a pot farm and tried to sell the drug at school.

“I’d like to think it was my first entrepreneurial experience, selling pot,” Eastwood said of the incident, which occurred while he was living in Hawaii as a child.

Host Dax Shepard, naturally, was curious to know where Eastwood and his co-conspirators got the weed in the first place.

“We raided a pot farm,” Eastwood replied, before jokingly adding, “I mean, we weren’t gonna buy it! So we did a little boo boo.”

He also shed light on their scheme. “There was, I think, 5 or 6 of us that hatched this plan, in the night, under moonlight, gonna steal the pot,” he said. “Stole the pot, took it down to the beach, dried it out, and then we divvied it up, and then we were gonna make some dough.”

Eastwood explained that they planned to sell the weed at school but were ultimately caught.

“I don’t remember… somewhere along the lines, someone got pinched and then someone ratted,” he said. “They rolled on everybody. Rats, right?”

When asked if police got involved, Eastwood responded, “No, they didn’t really have any actual evidence. But they still kicked us out of school. I think there was enough people... I denied that. Still, to this day.”

The *Regretting You* star revealed that he was sent to go live with his father, Clint Eastwood, shortly after the incident. “It was somewhere along that line that I was… things got shaken up, and I went to go live with my dad,” he said.
