Luke Grimes Talks About Kevin Costner, “It’s Not My Place to Reach Out

Drama on Yellowstone is intense, but sometimes real life is just as unpredictable. Luke Grimes recently spoke about his relationship with Kevin Costner in a surprisingly honest interview. Things are definitely interesting, but not in a dramatic, over-the-top way.

No, I haven’t talked to him since, Grimes said when asked about Costner. It’s not a case of any hard feelings or anything; it’s just, he’s Kevin Costner. He’s a big deal. It’s refreshing to hear someone be so humble. It’s not every day you hear someone admit they’re a little intimidated by having Kevin Costner’s phone number.

Grimes continued, I do have his phone number I just don’t feel like it my place to reach out. He can reach out to me if he wants to. That makes sense. Costner is a busy guy, with acting jobs and rumors of on-set disagreements.  

Kevin Costner Factor

Costner role as John Dutton on Yellowstone was huge. His leaving the show has been emotional for fans and the cast. Grimes talked about what it was like: None of us saw it coming the way it did, and obviously there was news about possible blowups behind the scenes or whatever. But just like in life, man, these things happen, they happen fast, and they’re not predictable.

It’s Not Personal, It Showbiz

Grimes’s comments show how unpredictable both life and the entertainment business can be. “In our little Yellowstone world, that helped ramp the show up into a boil,” he said, talking about the intense storylines and behind-the-scenes changes. Costner’s exit definitely made the show even more dramatic.  

Grimes also shared something personal, I lost my father a few years ago. It happened fast, and it was not the way that you would think that would happen. In life, these things happen and then people have to start making decisions.” This is a reminder that life can throw unexpected challenges. Whether it’s losing a loved one or saying goodbye to a co-star, you have to adapt.

Keeping It Light

Despite the serious topics, Grimes kept things light. His comment about Costner being “a big deal” is great. It’s like when a famous person leaves the room and you wonder if you should contact them or just move on.

It’s also funny how Grimes is hesitant to use Costner’s phone number. Many people can relate to having someone’s contact information but waiting for them to reach out first. But in this case, it’s Kevin Costner!

What Next for Luke Grimes?

With Costner gone and the Yellowstone universe expanding, Grimes is set to have a bigger role. Fans love him as Kayce Dutton, and his realistic approach is part of his appeal.

A Simple Lesson

Grimes’s perspective on his relationship (or lack thereof) with Costner offers some wisdom. Sometimes, you have to let things be. Whether it’s a Hollywood icon or a change in your own life, not everything needs to be resolved right away.

So, here’s to Luke Grimes: actor, and someone who keeps it real. Whether he gets a call from Kevin Costner or not, he seems to be handling things well. Sometimes, you just have to relax and see what happens.Sources and related content
