He's the son of a Hollywood legend who made headlines at the start of the year for a rule-defying cliff dive.

And as actor Scott Eastwood faced another break in filming on Pacific Rim: Uprising which is currently shooting in Australia, he took another jump, this time onto a plane to a neighbouring country.

The 30-year-old took to Instagram on Friday to document a quick overseas escape to the beautiful tropical island of Fiji.

'Got a weekend off. Going somewhere. Be back soon,' Eastwood said as he drove to the airport.

In a video he shared with his two million followers, the Hollywood hunk laughed and joked as he walked towards and then boarded the plane.

Later, Eastwood showed himself receiving a warm musical welcome in Fiji.

It comes just days after Eastwood published another controversial video of his unique Australia Day celebrations.

The buff actor was seen balancing confidently on a surfboard towed by a boat, showing off his chiselled physique and washboard abs wearing a pair of black board shorts. 

His only accessory was a stubby of beer, which he clutched tightly in his right hand.

Scott was the picture of concentration as he surfed in a speedboat's wake, staying on the board despite the waves.

He swerved from side to side on the surfboard as he followed behind the boat, from where he was being filmed.

 'Just having a cold beer behind a boat,' he cheekily captioned the video.

It's not the first time the actor has shared his daredevil antics on Instagram. 

Earlier this month, Scott Eastwood faced a potential fine of $300 for his death-defying dive off New South Wales' Wattamolla rocks

According to The Daily Telegraph, the movie star's cliff dive posted to Instagram is being 'reviewed' by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) as it violates the ban put in place in the interest of public safety.

With a jump of around nine metres high, diving off the rocks and into the water has been deemed unsafe by the authorities and there are plenty of signs to warn people of the dangers. 

Scott is in Australia filming the latest Pacific Rim installment which also features Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor John Boyega.

The actor has been in the country since November, with filming taking place in Sydney and Queensland.
