Kevin Costner reacts to John Dutton's fate in Yellowstone

After (very) long months of break, season 5 finally launched its second part over the weekend. An event. But his ex-star didn't know…

“I'll be perfectly honest: I didn't know it was on last night...” Kevin Costner does he enjoy trolling the fans of Yellowstone ? In any case, the interpreter of John Dutton seems to be completely disinterested in what is happening on his Montana ranch, now that he is no longer the boss. And yet the fate of his character did not fail to raise questions… Warning: big spoilers!

How was Kevin Costner deleted from the show?

Season 5 began its second part with the discovery of the lifeless body of John Dutton. In his mansion surrounded by police, his children Beth and Kayce Dutton make the macabre discovery of their father, lying on his bathroom floor in a pool of blood. Obviously, he committed suicide.

“This is the moment where I swear to God: I didn't know! I didn't know the episode aired last night. I saw adverts with my face everywhere and I said to myself: “Hey, that’s funny, I’m not in this season though…” So no, I didn’t see it...” Costner told American radio SiriusXM this Monday. More than two years after the broadcast of part 1, Kevin Costner admits to not even knowing precisely what happened to his character:

“I heard it was a suicide… so that doesn't make me want to rush out and watch the episode… But hey, they're pretty smart people. Maybe it's a false lead. Who knows? They are very good. And they will find a solution…”

Kevin Costner I don't think I'm saying that well since John Dutton's death was obviously staged by Jamie's manipulative mistress. An ending which, in all cases, is not the one that Kevin Costner had envisaged for his rancher: “We talked about it a few times… And we didn't talk about suicide. But after that, it's their business.”.

The former star of Yellowstone has clearly distanced itself from Montana. But he assures that he has not slammed the door on the series. Just that the filming didn't work for his cinematic saga Horizon : “There were contractual things that made it possible to do both, but since both were contractual, I had to make a choice. It was difficult for them (the production of Yellowstone) to respect the initial schedule. was too difficult for them. So no, I didn't leave anyone behind. I had 300 people waiting for me (on Horizon) and I couldn't leave them alone. height of his words…”
