WORKING WITH HIS TEENAGE SON KEVIN COSTNER ON BRINGING HIS DREAM WESTERN TO THE BIG SCREEN

If there is one modern Hollywood actor whose name is synonymous with epic westerns, it’s Kevin Costner.

He won an Oscar for directing 1990’s Dancing with Wolves and revived his TV career in the hit neo-western Yellowstone.

Yet 69-year-old Kevin isn’t finished with the genre yet. Instead, he has personally financed the four-part epic Horizon: An American Saga, which has taken him decades to bring to the big screen.

Not only is it the realisation of a long-held dream, but it also meant he could work alongside his 15-year-old son Hayes, from his former marriage to Christine Baumgartner.

“He had never acted before, but he did a good job,” Kevin says. “It’s a small part, but I was glad to be able to help him and that he was able to be with me on this, and that he was able to follow the level of direction I was able to give him.
