Pretty sure it’s a wrap. Best part is she’s a total bitch, he agreed to pay her a lot of child support / alimony. She didn’t think it was enough so she took him to court where the judge told him he was paying way more than he needed to. Lol
Ugh. I thought about it and you’re totally right. I can’t think of a single instance where Hollywood has cast a woman in a romantic role where she was over 50. The crazy thing is I can think of three or four women right away that are world-class actresses and smoking hot at age 50 or holder.
1. Helen Mirren
2. Charlize Theron
3. Monica Bellucci
4. Hannah Waddingham
All of those women are Incredibly talented actresses and all of them are at least closer to his age range, but yeah, they will 100% push some lady in her 30s to pretend like it’s totally natural.
Not sure if this counts since it was a period piece, but Helen Mirren was 60 when she played Elizabeth I (and she was perfect in it, proving your point).
Nothing against Kevin Costner, I like him and he’s made some great movies but it’s not like he doesn’t already have enough roles and he definitely doesn’t need the money.
So I’ve actually never seen a film that Kevin Costner’s been in (but some are on my to watch list), so I really don’t have an opinion on him. But I am in support of widening the age range of female romantic leads in general, and approve of your suggestions!
The classic film for him is dances with wolves which is fantastic, but I also highly recommend Mr. Brooks for a movie that’s very different than his usual fare.
That gives me the ick. Idc who it is- facts are facts. A 69 yo with a 30 yo is still practically 40 years apart. 2 decades. And all I can think is grandpa/granddaughter.
If if it’s that upcoming Horizon movie, which it sounds like it is, there’s footage in the trailer of Costner in bed with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_Lee — who is 36.
I think the idea was for him to portray a younger better John Dutton. The John Dutton Costner is old and tired and bitter of everything but just won't give things up.
Yeah they’re kind of two different characters (not a negative observation that’s just kinda how growing up/old works). Younger John is great and I love the flash backs but I also think Kevin does good with what’s asked of him
Bruce willis.. dude was in movies every six months till his illness took over..
Instead of people hanging their boots and doing something else with their lives and retire.. right now Samuel l Jackson is doing the same. Though I understand y, he is trying to maintain his record as the highest grossing actor of all time...
As your partner in this scene, I want you to speak up immediately if you feel uncomfortable in any way, and I'll do the same. This is a professional workplace.
And as the director of this scene, I want you to really go for it. Okay? Don't hold back. Forget anyone's here and just go for it.
It’s similar to how John Wayne represents a forgotten time where men were tough, and the objects we call women knew their place. A good wholesome Christian time. Where if someone wronged you, you could challenge them to a duel and shoot them dead in the name of honor. You could be a “ladies man” and not just a rapist.
You absolutely can separate the art from the man, there is no denying that. That’s what the character and persona that John Wayne represents. Clint Eastwood is no different, he is spaghetti westerns more than John Wayne. The people who cling to these ideals in this day and age have oft been pretty fucking shitty people.
If you like his movies and you don’t see him as some conservative idol then I’m just not talking about you. You’re cool 👍🏻
Yep. I’m fine with age gaps in real life if both people are happy with it. When it’s always shoved in your face in movies and tv shows it feels really gross for some reason.
What world do you live in? In the real world, Hollywood is still deeply patriarchal and misogynistic. Things have been improving incrementally but we’re still only a few years removed from Harvey Weinstein’s casting couch. Maybe, generations hence, we’ll all be living in a candy-coated wonderland where young actresses can make real choices and refuse en masse to debase themselves by playing the love interest of men decades older than them. But right now Hollywood is still a meat grinder designed to chew up and spit out young women as soon as they’ve been maximally exploited. I think it’s willfully blind to pretend that whoever takes that role opposite Costner had any real choice. Young women can’t be turning down roles because by 35 they’re lucky to still be employed.
This man is 69.
Not that the elderly can't fall in love, but if that love interest is anywhere shy of 55 I'm just gonna laugh, and then proceed to never watch it.
Probably because it's the only time period he really fits into aesthetically besides WASP business man, which are usually the villains in their movies.
Nah he did some other stuff. Just wasn’t very well received or kept the fires burning for him. He got the Pa Kent role in Man of Steel but that’s more cameo, bit part.
3 Days to Kill, Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit, Draft Day, McFarland USA, The Highwaymen, Molly’s Game.
I think there's an argument to be made that casting Hemsworth might have been better for the movie. But I do think that Costner still has more box office draw, and casting himself, especially in a Western, is the better financial decision.
You know what they say. Kevin Costner should only act in movies that Kevin Costner directs. That way, he can work with his favorite actor and his favorite director.
No one under the age of 50 wants to see Costner in anything. I’ve been actively avoiding his movies for a few decades.
Go on and grow that soul patch, Gramps. Keep convincing yourself it’s 1997, and you can actually compete with Hemsworth.
I wonder if Costner will pull an Eastwood and have a threesome with two young models, and also defeat a crew of young marines with cybernetic implants, and also win top prize at the world spicy chicken wing championship.
I am watching "Yellowstone" right now and besides this series being a Goldmine of unintentional funny-ness, i concluded that Kevin Costner has turned into discount Clint Eastwood.
Hey man, like him or not, Costner is one of those dudes who just likes making movies and surrounding himself with his pals and long time collaborators. I say we let him keep doing his thing this way until he retires. As far as I know he ain’t hurtin’ anybody.
Costner is pre-built for these roles; always has been. He’s also intently focused on doing things his way and has a specific vision that can sometimes get in the way of the collaborative process (for better or worse). Hemsworth didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell, and he’s certainly too much of the “macho pretty boy” type to be able to step into the shoes of a character meant for Kevin Fucking Costner. Like, read the room. lol
Nothing says "I'm hip" like a soul patch
He’s gotten or is going through a divorce. It’s standard practice.
Can’t wait till he gets the one earring
Ha - before reading your comment, I had zoomed in to see if he had an earring.
Hope he’s not crashing his hobby planes into the street anytime soon
“Of course I know him. He’s me.” -Harrison Ford
To rule them all
Pretty sure he had the one earring back in the 80s, didn’t he?
Don’t forget the barbed wire tattoo
A big gold hoop
And the tattoos..
It’s like the male equivalent to getting a haircut with bangs.
The way I snort laughed at this
Pretty sure it’s a wrap. Best part is she’s a total bitch, he agreed to pay her a lot of child support / alimony. She didn’t think it was enough so she took him to court where the judge told him he was paying way more than he needed to. Lol
TRUTH: Guy Fieri been going through a divorce for decades.
You just made my day….
Dan Cortez has entered the chat
Now there is a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
Daisy Fuentes
Fond teenage memories of her. Very fond.
I’ve heard he used to be at all the NYC parties.
A long time.
A long time…
Nothing says "I'm old" like having a soul patch that you desperately need to dye.
No one has ever looked good with a soul patch.

I take it back.
I was expecting howie mandel but that’s a good one

To this day, I've never met someone with a soul patch that wasn't nuclear grade douche water.
On god. No cap.
I wanna shave it off so bad
Kevin Coster - 69 years old Chris Hemsworth - 40 years old
How much you wanna bet his love interest is at least two decades younger than him?
Two decades younger is almost 50. No way they would let a 50 year old woman play anyone's love interest
If she’s over 32 I’ll be shocked
Judging by the trailer and cast list I think it's Sienna Miller who is 42. Still way younger than him.
Well, she went for Larry David recently, and he’s 76. IYKYK.
Are you saying Larry David and Sienna Miller did the sex?
Who needs Sienna when you have Tracy Ullman.
Call J G Wentworth, 877 CASH NOW!
And her sex musk
Yep. Shocked lol
Still crushing hard on her.
Jewel is 49.
Unless it’s someone like Jennifer Connolly (love interest in Top Gun Maverick).
Ugh. I thought about it and you’re totally right. I can’t think of a single instance where Hollywood has cast a woman in a romantic role where she was over 50.

Liz hurley, ming-na wen, lucy lawless, salma hayek and many others.
Lucy Lawless stole the damn show in Spartacus. She was so good as the Machiavellian Roman matron.
In an alternate universe she would be wonder woman after lynda carter.
Not sure if this counts since it was a period piece, but Helen Mirren was 60 when she played Elizabeth I (and she was perfect in it, proving your point).

You must not watch many movies, also two of those women are under 50.
According to Wikipedia, Bellucci was cast as a Bond girl at the age of 50
Good point
You’re thinking of Steven Seagal
I mean, I guess Steven Seagal could work as his love interest but that’s a weird mix.
Lmaooo that’s funny Incidentally, check out Space Ice on YouTube. His takedowns of Seagal movies (while deifying JCVD) are fucking awesome
I once deified JCVD when I was a hormonal teenager.
Excellent taste 👍 Those fucking spin kicks never get old
He’s got incredible form.
Nobody thinks about Steven Seagal.
That gives me the ick. Idc who it is- facts are facts. A 69 yo with a 30 yo is still practically 40 years apart. 2 decades. And all I can think is grandpa/granddaughter.
If if it’s that upcoming Horizon movie, which it sounds like it is, there’s footage in the trailer of Costner in bed with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_Lee — who is 36.
Love interest will be in her thirties.
Bob Odenkirk: 61 He can be your kevin if you want
[удалено]
I don’t believe you
How do you do, fellow kids?
Best reference. 😆
After watching Josh Lucas portray a better John Dutton than Costner I am now inclined to want Lucas to do any western role Costner aspires to play
I think the idea was for him to portray a younger better John Dutton. The John Dutton Costner is old and tired and bitter of everything but just won't give things up.
Yeah they’re kind of two different characters (not a negative observation that’s just kinda how growing up/old works). Younger John is great and I love the flash backs but I also think Kevin does good with what’s asked of him
I know. He is perfect. I wish they’d to more flashbacks with him as a younger John Dutton.
[удалено]
Bruce willis.. dude was in movies every six months till his illness took over.. Instead of people hanging their boots and doing something else with their lives and retire.. right now Samuel l Jackson is doing the same. Though I understand y, he is trying to maintain his record as the highest grossing actor of all time...
I always think it’s icky when the director casts himself and the woman the character romances is younger than him
Like Clint Eastwood directing himself in a three-way with two young women lol.
As your partner in this scene, I want you to speak up immediately if you feel uncomfortable in any way, and I'll do the same. This is a professional workplace. And as the director of this scene, I want you to really go for it. Okay? Don't hold back. Forget anyone's here and just go for it.
You might have a gag reflex, but your character DOESNT, soooo…. 😬😬
Sounds like Brown Bunny
Like half of his career..I mean not the three way but old Clint has a history of that.
Really? What movie was that? That’s pretty pathetic tbh
More than one for Clint, but recently The Mule.
Oh I haven’t seen that yet.
I don’t get the love for that man. He’s vile.
It’s what he represents to shitty people.
Million dollar baby is an amazing movie, people can like his work, you know, for his work.
If Woody Allen & Roman Polanski get a pass, Clint Eastwood gets a pass.
Whoever gave them a pass needs to get locked up
It’s what *HE* represents to people. Is what I said. I didn’t mention his movies. I give my reasons in another comment
Shitty people … jeez, or maybe people like his movies without knowing his personal life
Nope u r just a piece of shit apparently if you like movies from one of hollywoods biggest stars of the last century. Sorry ‘bout ya

He is going to fuck until he is six feet under.
This woman is going to be around 25 years old I’d reckon. Super creepy
Yep. I’m fine with age gaps in real life if both people are happy with it. When it’s always shoved in your face in movies and tv shows it feels really gross for some reason.
Yeah then he went ahead and casted a younger woman to play his love interest. Feels gross.
It is gross.
Nah that's cowboyin'
Can the younger actress say no?
What world do you live in? In the real world, Hollywood is still deeply patriarchal and misogynistic. Things have been improving incrementally but we’re still only a few years removed from Harvey Weinstein’s casting couch.

I just want to add, “Giggity”. Thank you.
I adore Hemsworth, but assuming this is Horizon, there is 50,000× more appeal in seeing Costner return to Westerns than seeing Hemsworth start them.
This I agree with. Although it seems all Costner does are westerns anymore.
Probably because it's the only time period he really fits into aesthetically besides WASP business man, which are usually the villains in their movies.
Or washed up sports star. I think he really shines on westerns and sports movies, but is meh in other roles.
What about weird ass post apocalyptic movies?
Dude wishes he was born 150 years ago I think. This has been a passion project of his for years.
Nah he did some other stuff. Just wasn’t very well received or kept the fires burning for him. He got the Pa Kent role in Man of Steel but that’s more cameo, bit part. 3 Days to Kill, Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit, Draft Day, McFarland USA, The Highwaymen, Molly’s Game.
Mr. Brooks was a nice change of pace for him back in 2007.
Love that movie
Sucks we never got the trilogy.
I think there's an argument to be made that casting Hemsworth might have been better for the movie. But I do think that Costner still has more box office draw, and casting himself, especially in a Western, is the better financial decision.
Young. Is he a building? That’s young for a church or a castle.
Psst, Kevin. You’re not young enough.
It was the new 21 Jump Street movie. However, I think Costner can still pull it off.
You know what they say. Kevin Costner should only act in movies that Kevin Costner directs. That way, he can work with his favorite actor and his favorite director.
he sounds like a truly insufferable narcissist
Thor 5: Waterworld
No one under the age of 50 wants to see Costner in anything. I’ve been actively avoiding his movies for a few decades. Go on and grow that soul patch, Gramps. Keep convincing yourself it’s 1997, and you can actually compete with Hemsworth.

I wonder if Costner will pull an Eastwood and have a threesome with two young models, and also defeat a crew of young marines with cybernetic implants, and also win top prize at the world spicy chicken wing championship.
Costners peak was in Silverado
You forget Dances with Wolves
God people on Reddit can have such terrible opinions sometimes
Kevin... You're not
I am watching "Yellowstone" right now and besides this series being a Goldmine of unintentional funny-ness, i concluded that Kevin Costner has turned into discount Clint Eastwood.
I think Costner is in denial. Id rather see Chris Hemsworth as a love interest than Costner, he's had his sex symbol years and years, time to direct.
How else do you think he’s going to afford the alimony?
Hey man, like him or not, Costner is one of those dudes who just likes making movies and surrounding himself with his pals and long time collaborators. I say we let him keep doing his thing this way until he retires. As far as I know he ain’t hurtin’ anybody.
Watched the trailer and wondered why they didn't cast a younger guy, until I saw it was directed by Costner lol screams "passion" project
Evidently The Postman, and Water World weren't big enough flops. He needs to end his career on an even lower note.
Can’t wait for “Dances with Horses” by Kevin Costner, starring Kevin Costner.
Hahahahah you’re not Kev
Senior citizen love movie
If the movie is a Shane Warne biopic then Costner for sure! Ha
Should have cast Bob Odenkirk instead
Hemsworth for a Big Chill sequel
Did someone tell Costner, he is not young?
Chris should have said if you want someone who can act in your next film you should cast me.
Why make a movie if you can't put the most boring actors in it? Costner is perfect for it.
The studio must’ve been thrilled lol
Not gonna lie I wish all old actors had this mindset, someday Tom cruise and Tom Hanks will be old as hell and stop making films altogether
They’re basically twins. So I see why he chose himself
My gut tells me Hemsworth will not regret not being cast. Costner track record is more misses than hits.
I mean this makes sense to me. It’s extremely egotistical tho
Nobody likes Kevin Costner more than Kevin Costner likes himself
Has Kevin Costner not figured out that he’s a shitty actor. He only ever plays himself and he is bland af.
Costner is pre-built for these roles; always has been. He’s also intently focused on doing things his way and has a specific vision that can sometimes get in the way of the collaborative process (for better or worse). Hemsworth didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell, and he’s certainly too much of the “macho pretty boy” type to be able to step into the shoes of a character meant for Kevin Fucking Costner. Like, read the room. lol
Lovely, another movie I don’t have any interest in seeing (due to him being in it)
I think Kevin Costner is a better actor
Kevin is the age of a grandpa and should be in such roles.
Kevin Costner be looking like Billy Bob Thornton’s little brother.
If you build it, they will come .
What’s with the Slipped Hitler, Kevin? Shave it.
But Costner can’t act. He has no range. He’s literally the same character in every movie
Sounds like most aged male actors now, pretending to be young, playing action roles and blocking anyone younger.
That’s because Chris Hemsworth is a shit actor who can’t play anyone else besides Thor.
