Kevin Costner Allegedly Facing Career Struggles As His ‘Phone Has Stopped Ringing For Leading-Man Money’
Kevin Costner is reportedly facing struggles in his Hollywood career and finding it challenging to land “leading-man” roles in movies. This comes after his contentious exit from “Yellowstone,” marked with accusations of physical assault against his co-star, Wes Bentley, as well as alleged issues with show creator Taylor Sheridan. Kevin Costner has also faced several lawsuits in recent times, including a legal fight with a stunt double on his Western epic “Horizon 2,” who accused him of sexual harassment. Kevin Costner’s Acting Career Is Facing ‘A Polite Decline Mode,’ Source Claims
The past couple of years have been quite rough for Kevin Costner, after he made headlines for several wrong reasons.
Back in 2023, he went through a very public and heartbreaking split from his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner. The following year, he controversially exited the hit show “Yellowstone,” after which reports claimed he lunged at castmate Wes Bentley, as well as got involved in a “power struggle” with Taylor Sheridan. His woes compounded after The Hollywood Reporter released a scathing exposé titled “How Kevin Lost Hollywood,” where they highlighted the fallout with his castmate and the several lawsuits he has been served. This and more is what seems to be affecting his standing, with a source telling Us Weekly that Costner is in “a polite decline mode.” “The Hollywood sentiment towards Kevin is changing and is kind of in a polite decline mode,” the insider shared. “There are insurance considerations about too many issues on set. No one’s blackballing him, but the phone has stopped ringing for leading-man money.”
