Nepo Baby Alert! Kevin Costner Defends Casting Son Over Another Actor!


Kevin Costner isn’t above getting his kids a Hollywood role… But he feels he’s got a good reason why. The Wyatt Earp star is set to return to the 1800s

(c) MEGA/WENNDuring an interview with Today on Monday, the 69-year-old revealed he named his teen son after his own onscreen character in the film, so it was a perfect fit… Though he assures he isn’t typically one to shoehorn his kids into Hollywood: I realize there’s so many young actors out there that would just kill to be in this movie, and I don’t want to take those parts away from them just because I can place my own children in. Well, it’s good that it sounds like he mostly maintains the mentality of keeping roles open for non-nepo baby actors… And his reason for putting the kid in the picture seems like a sweet one.
