‘I’m Still Young’ – Kevin Costner Rejects Actor for Lead Role in Movie

It is still a question as to whether actor Kevin Costner will return to the smash hit series “Yellowstone” to see the end of his character arc through when the show wraps up its final season.

But the actor, 69, has no doubts he is still vibrant enough to play the role of leading man.

Costner and Australian action star Chris Hemsworth both discussed the topic during separate interviews with Entertainment Tonight.

Hemsworth explained at CinemaCon 2024 — an annual event for movie theater owners from around the world — that he recently lost a job to the “Field of Dreams” star.

Per Hemsworth, 40, he recently tried to land a role that he felt he was the perfect fit for. The name of the upcoming film was not divulged by the star, but he said it ended up going to Costner.

“There was a movie, a script that I’d read and loved and was like, ‘I want to get that,’ and then someone said, ‘Kevin Costner has that ,'” Hemsworth told ET.

The “Thor” star said he even went as far as to try to convince Costner to let him have the role.

“I’d love him as a director,” he explained. “I was like, ‘g******it*!’ an hour the other day trying to convince him, and he was like, ‘I’m doing it, kid.’”

Hemsworth confirmed Costner will now star in the film, which he said is “a small story about a man and a woman.”
