The right thing to do, per Eastwood, was to pay back the investor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;They decided after we&#8217;d already spent a bunch of money that they just didn&#8217;t want to work with this other person and didn&#8217;t want to do the job,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I was like, &#8216;Okay, then you need to pay that money back to the person who invested in you.&#8217; They were like, &#8216;I&#8217;m not gonna do that.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The actor, whom Eastwood didn&#8217;t identify, &#8220;just left,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was their their directorial, their story, their thing.
