Luke Grimes Opens Up About Kevin Costner's Unexpected Exit from 'Yellowstone'
Kevin CostnerThe hit television series "Yellowstone" has been under the spotlight following the surprising departure of its lead star, Kevin Costner. In a recent interview, Luke Grimes, who plays a significant role in the series, shared his thoughts on Costner's exit and the ripple effects it has caused both on and off the screen.
Grimes, 40, revealed that he has not spoken to Costner since the latter's unforeseen departure from the show. During an interview with Men’s Health MH Flex, Grimes expressed that the absence of communication between him and his former co-star isn't due to any hard feelings. "I haven’t talked to him since", Grimes confessed, acknowledging Costner's celebrity status as a factor. "It’s just, he’s Kevin Costner. He’s a big deal. I do have his phone number — I just don’t feel like it’s my place to reach out. He can reach out to me if he wants to".
Despite maintaining that there are no negative emotions involved, Grimes recounted the unexpected manner in which Costner, 69, left the series, leaving the cast and crew in shock. "None of us saw it coming the way it did", Grimes explained, acknowledging the rumors of behind-the-scenes disagreements. "But just like in life, man, these things happen, they happen fast, and they’re not predictable".
The actor compared the situation to a personal loss he experienced, drawing parallels between Costner's exit and the sudden death of his own father several years ago. "It happened fast, and it was not the way that you would think that that would happen. In life, these things happen and then people have to start making decisions", Grimes reflected.
As "Yellowstone" continues to evolve without one of its pivotal figures, Grimes notes that the shake-up has driven the series into a new phase. "In our little Yellowstone world, that helped ramp the show up into a boil", he added, indicating that the show's dynamics may change but the story will persist.
Costner's departure may have been unexpected, but it seems to have sparked a new chapter for "Yellowstone", both in its narrative and among its cast, as viewers watch eagerly to see how the story unfolds without its leading man.
