“I Won’t Work With Rob Reiner” is Kevin Costner’s response to a $30 million movie deal rejection.
In a surprising turn of events, Kevin Costner found himself in the eye of a storm of phone calls mere minutes after announcing his exit from “Yellowstone.” The actor confessed to our reporter that the flurry of offers took him aback, stating, “I expected offers, but the speed at which they came was startling.”
Among the numerous enticing offers, one stood out: a leading role in a Rob Reiner film. However, Costner promptly declined the lucrative opportunity. He explained, “I can’t work with Reiner; all that Harvey Weinstein and Epstein Island stuff leaves a sour taste.”
Our reporter, Tara Newhole, found Costner’s statement particularly impactful when he repeated it in character as the patriarch of the Dutton family. She quipped, “If he had added ‘you son of a bitch’ at the end, it would have been a true fangirl moment for me.”
Costner’s steadfast morals remain unshaken, especially in light of his past relationship with Piper Paribo, whom he described as an “awful” partner. While acknowledging Paribo’s charm in “Coyote Ugly,” Costner felt she fell short as an aging activist with an attitude problem.
Newhole voiced her disagreement, stating, “I adored her, and I think you’re being a tad petty for siding with Beth, considering your politics, sir.”
However, Costner, who is now grappling with a hefty child support bill of over $63,000 per month, humorously mentioned considering asking Paribo out for a date, noting to a friend, “She seems like a budget-friendly date.”
