Scott Eastwood, the son of actor-director Clint Eastwood, made waves with an Instagram video which shows him diving off a cliff in Australia.

The younger Eastwood is in Sydney filming an upcoming installment of Pacific Rim, and had a day off from shooting.

The only problem is that particular cliff is illegal to jump from, which means the actor could find himself in trouble with authorities and forced to pay a fine.

The cliff is located in Wattamolla Falls, 50 kilometres south of Sydney, inside the Royal National Park.

"NPWS will review this incident and decide what actions, if any, are required," a National Parks and Wildlife Service spokesperson told Mashable via email.

"Jumping off Wattamolla Falls is not safe and the NPWS has put a range of measures in place to manage public safety," they added.

"Unfortunately some individuals put themselves at risk of injury by disregarding warning signs, jumping over barriers and not keeping to formed paths."

We'd imagine it might be a case of #sorrynotsorry, though.
