Eastwood had the hard talk during an August 3 appearance on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, as the host noted, "This is one of the craziest ways I've ever heard someone died. Her airbag went off, and it was defective?" She was essentially shot by the airbag," the Lucky Strike actor described about Brangman's horrific death. While co-host Monica Padman was visibly moved, replying, "Oh my God, that's horrifying. That's so sad," Shepard wanted to know how Eastwood juggled mourning the death with his career as a 28-year-old aspiring actor.
