How old is Yellowstone star Kevin Costner?
Costner is 65-years-old, having been born in Lynwood in California back on January 18, 1955.
His mother was a welfare worker and his father was an electrician.
Growing up in Orange County, it was not immediately clear he wanted to be an actor and he even studied marketing and finance at California State University.
However, during his final year in college he became more interested in acting and took film classes after graduation.
Across his career, some other films he has become known for include Waterworld, The Postman, The Bodyguard and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Other roles include parts in Mr Brooks, Man of Steel, Hatfields & McCoys and Molly’s Game.
Costner has already had huge success in his career so far and is already planning ahead for his next roles.
He told AARP Magazine in July 2020: “I plan to play out the second half of my career with really big movies that take you somewhere, that have a level of poetry.
“There’s a perception out there that I can do whatever I want, that things get easier for me professionally with age.
“It’s simply not true. They don’t. It’s just as hard to make things now as it was when I was trying to make Dances [With Wolves].
“But I should do whatever I want. I’m at that spot in my life, artistically.
He added: “I should be doing what pleases me.
