Kevin Costner made a rare public appearance at the Cannes Film Festival with five of his seven children for the premiere of his new film, Horizon: An American Saga. Accompanied by his daughters Annie and Lily from his first marriage and his sons Cayden, Hayes, and Grace from his most recent marriage, Costner received a standing ovation for the film which he directed, produced, and wrote. His son Hayes made his acting debut in the film, which has been years in the making. However, tensions between Costner and Taylor Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone, reportedly led to the sudden end of the popular show due to scheduling conflicts and disagreements over pay.
Costner and his family coordinated their red carpet looks with matching classic black tuxedos and elegant light-colored gowns, posing for photos at the event. Notably absent were his other children, Joe and Liam, as well as his rumored girlfriend, Jewel. The Horizon films, which will be released as a two-part series, cover a 15-year period around the Civil War and the settlement of America’s Western frontier. The disputes surrounding Costner’s commitment to the film may have contributed to the end of Yellowstone, a hit series in which he starred.
The actor’s appearance at the festival marked a special family affair, as he showcased his latest project and shared the spotlight with his children. While he has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, Costner’s return to the director’s chair for Horizon has generated excitement among fans. The 69-year-old star received a warm reception from the audience and expressed his passion for the project in interviews, emphasizing the interconnected stories of the two-part film series.
As Costner continues to pursue his career in the entertainment industry, his collaborations and creative endeavors have generated buzz and speculation among fans and the media. The actor’s dedication to his craft and his family was evident at the Cannes Film Festival, where he was joined by his children for a memorable red carpet appearance. With Horizon set to release in summer 2024, audiences can look forward to seeing Costner’s latest directorial effort and the debut of his son Hayes as an actor in this long-awaited project.
