Who Is Britt Robertson In ‘The Longest Ride’?

The 29-year-old son of Clint Eastwood, Scott Eastwood, is a rising star in Hollywood. He just got his first leading man role in the dramatic romance The Longest Ride, which opens in theaters April 10. It’s an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ bestselling novel about a professional bull rider named Luke (Eastwood) who falls in love with a college girl named Sophia. Sophia is portrayed by Britt Robertson.

Britt Robertson is the eldest of seven children. She was homeschooled in South Carolina. (Weird fact: She’s the seventh cousin, once removed, of Elvis Presley.) She’s best known for her TV roles as Angie on Under the Dome. She had a role in the recent Jennifer Aniston film Cake, and will appear in the forthcoming George Clooney film Tomorrowland (May 2015).
