Kevin Costner ‘Just Realized’ He’s Too Busy for Yellowstone
Go see him in an actual movie if you like him so much.
Between launching his own epic western-film franchise Horizon this year, having conversations with Jewel, whispering with his beautiful boy son, and being divorced, his stint playing the lead role of John Dutton in Yellowstone — TV’s biggest horseback-riding drama — is just one small chapter in a 46-year career that’s intrinsic to what we think of when we think of Hollywood.Despite being permanently famous, he came out swinging against rumors that he’d abandoned the Dutton family to prioritize his Horizon movies, reiterating to Howard Stern as recently as June 18 that he would go back to that guy Taylor Sheridan’s first big TV hit if they could get the story line, scripts, and schedule to work. The monologue begins subtly enough, channeling the flatness of an email sent as a professional courtesy: “Hi, everyone, I just wanna reach out and let you know.” Costner folds his hands under his arms as he speaks about Yellowstone as “that beloved series” with his elbows pointed down, a defensive posture that also communicates sorrow like he’s about to remove his team’s pitcher. Costner closes his message with a sly smile and a simple directive: “I’ll see you at the movies.” It’s a much cooler, movie-star way of reminding us that Horizon: An American Saga hits theaters June 28.
