Clint Eastwood has reportedly cast his son in The Human Factor, his upcoming movie about Nelson Mandela and post-apartheid South Africa.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Eastwood will join Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon in the project, which has been adapted from the book by John Carlin.

The movie will revolve around the former South African president's attempt to use the national rugby team to fight racial discrimination.

Eastwood's son will play a member of the team, while Damon will portray their captain Francois Piennar. Morgan has been cast as Mandela.

The 22-year-old has previously worked with his father in Gran Torino and Flags Of Our Fathers.
