Kevin Costner makes rare appearance with 5 kids at Cannes

The gang is (almost) all here.

Kevin Costner made a rare red-carpet appearance with five of his seven children at the premiere of his new Western movie, “Horizon: An American Saga” at the Cannes Film Festival.

Costner, 69, was joined at the event Sunday by his daughters Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Grace, 13, and his sons Cayden, 17, and Hayes, 15.

His sons Joe, 36, and Liam, 26, were missing from the family reunion.

Costner shares his three oldest kids with his first wife, Cindy Silva, whom he was married to from 1978 to 1994.

He shares Liam with his ex Bridget Rooney.

The rest of Costner’s children are from his marriage to his second wife, Christine Baumgartner, whom he got divorced from last year.

The “Yellowstone” star showed up to the red-carpet event in a classic tuxedo with a black bow tie. He was surrounded by his children as they all posed together for the photographers.

Costner also debuted a new look that included dyed blond hair with dark-gray facial hair, including a mustache and a soul patch.

Fans reacted to Costner’s look on X (formerly known as Twitter), with some of them saying that Costner looks like fellow actor Sam Elliott, 79, because of his mustache.

“Kevin Costner stole Sam Elliott‘s mustache,” one fan tweeted.

Another posted on X, “Kevin Costner looks like Sam Elliott’s brother who left for Europe in the 60s to become a producer of slightly risqué independent movies.”

A third person wrote, “Kevin Costner going full Sam Elliott. I love it.”

Ironically, Elliott starred in the “Yellowstone” prequel series “1883.”

Costner’s new movie premiered at Cannes on Sunday and received a 10-minute standing ovation. The actor was moved to tears by the audience’s favorable reaction to his film, which he directed, co-wrote and stars in.

During the press conference for “Horizon: An America Saga” on Monday, Costner talked about how he partly self-financed the Western feature that cost over $100 million to make.

“You saw the movie. I don’t know why it was so hard to get people to believe in the movie that I wanted to make,” he said. “You know, I don’t think my movie is better than anybody else’s movie, but I don’t think anybody else’s movie is better than mine. I don’t go out into the world with something I don’t think is good.”

Costner added: “I’ve knocked on every boat in Cannes to help me. ‘Oh come, we’ll have a picture.’ No, come get your checkbook out. Let’s talk money!”

“Horizon: An America Saga” depicts the expansion of the American West during the period of the US Civil War in the 1860s. The film is split into two parts, both releasing this summer.

In his new cover story for GQ that was published Monday, Costner explained why he decided to make the movie.

“I felt time slipping,” he said. “I thought the window was closing on me being able to be an effective part in that movie. And so I basically burned my ships. Like Cortés, we’re f – – king here. I’m going to make this. And I mortgaged property.”

“We went through COVID, and then I was working and really realized at a couple points I needed to work a little bit more, for various reasons,” Costner continued. “Just the instinct of what I would have to do as a quote-unquote provider.”

The Oscar winner added: “That’s the message I want my kids to understand about who I am: that I do what I believe. I have fear like everybody else. I don’t want to be humiliated.”

He also confirmed that part of his decision to quit “Yellowstone” was to focus on “Horizon,” which is expected to spawn three sequels.

“I said, ‘I have a contract to do “Horizon,” and I have people and money.’ I think there was a belief that I couldn’t get it mounted, but I didn’t really care what anybody believed,” Costner said.

“Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” will be released in theaters June 28. “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” comes out Aug. 16.
