Kevin Costner got into a heated altercation with his Yellowstone co-star Wes Bentley, resulting in the production being briefly shut down, according to a new report.

Costner infamously left Taylor Sheridan’s Western drama ahead of the second half of the fifth and final season, resulting in his lead character being killed off. His exit came amid reports of a falling out with Sheridan over scheduling issues.

 

 

Citing sources in a wide-ranging new report about Costner, The Hollywood Reporter claims the 70-year-old was pushing Bentley, who plays his adoptive son on Yellowstone, to ditch Sheridan’s script in one scene in favour of Costner’s own take.

Bentley reportedly told Costner that he had signed up for Taylor Sheridan’s production, not Costner’s.

 

 

“Kevin didn’t like that, and he lunged at him,” an eyewitness source told the outlet. “No fists were thrown, but they were in each other’s faces, pushing and shoving and just getting hot until they had to be separated.”
