Kevin Costner has a brand new look!

On Friday, May 17, the two-time Oscar winner, 69, was photographed sporting a gray mustache for the first time while in the south of France for the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where he will premiere his film Horizon: An American Saga on Sunday, May 19.

Costner wore classic black pants and a black jacket, with a white collared shirt underneath. While posing for photos at the Chopard event, he also showed off a black and silver watch.

Costner was mustache-less in his portrayal of John Dutton in the Yellowstone. He joined the western drama series in 2018, but his future with the series is currently unknown.

“I don’t want to fall into the gutter with Yellowstone thing, but what I’m telling you is pure,” he said Deadline in an interview published on Tuesday, May 14.

“I’ve gotten beat up by those fucking guys and I know where it comes from a lot of times. I just decided not to get into it,” Costner said of his relative silence on the subject. “I made Yellowstone first priority, and to insinuate anything else would be wrong.”

Part of his ongoing drama with the Paramount Network series could be related to the fact that he was also shooting another project in a similar time frame — his upcoming western epic.

Costner added that he left the set Horizon to film what he believed would be the second half of Season 5 Yellowstone.

“I said, ‘Well, look, I’m making my own movie. If you want me to work for a week because you want to kill me or whatever, I can give you a week,’ he explained.

“I really didn’t have that week to give it to them, but I said, I’ll do it,” Costner said Deadline. “And then they [spun that] u, i only wanted to work for a week.”
