Before his death, Tony Scott spoke out about his brother, Ridley, and their upbringing in a previously unpublished interview. “He’s a bull, and I am too,” Scott said about his brother. “Nothing takes him down. We have enormous pain resistance.” The interview gives insight into the family’s home life, with Scott saying that they had “no interest” in education and that the pair’s artistic interests came as a shock to their father. But Scott offered no complaints about his childhood. “We had a brilliant upbringing … we were a very, very tight family.” The interview will be published in the Aug. 27 edition of The Hollywood Reporter.
