Kevin Costner told ‘just stick to acting’ by Yellowstone boss, sources claim
After everything that’s been said it seems the rumors about Kevin Costner are true. I don’t know how I’ll cope after this.
Fans of the American neo-Western drama television series Yellowstone, which follows the conflicts along the shared borders of the Yellowstone Ranch, a large cattle ranch, the Broken Rock Indian reservation, Yellowstone National Park and land developers, seems to be coming to an end.
Rumors are that the lead actor, Kevin Costner, who plays the role of John Dutton III, and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan don’t get along and that is the reason why the series is wrapping up despite its immense popularity.
A source told the Daily Mail that “Certain people in charge of the production developed a God complex,” referring to Sheridan. It was reported that Paramount’s blockbuster Western series is set to end after the upcoming second half of its fifth season aired.
Apparently, Costner raised concerns regarding the direction the series was going but was told by Sheridan to “stick to acting.”
The source divulged: “Kevin will forever be proud of and grateful for Yellowstone and the cast is like family to him.
“He just felt like Yellowstone is headed in a direction that was not in line with their initial vision and he was met with criticism, including that he should just stick to acting.”
Per the New York Post, Costner now wants to focus on other projects. “It’s the same as with any show runner and big star — there’s respect, but there’s friction,” a source told the publication.
At the time being, Costner, who recently earned a Golden Globe Award for best actor for his portrayal of John Dutton, is directing and starring in Horizon, a western film series consisting of four separate movies which are to be released three months apart from each other.
