Before Kevin Costner became synonymous with the hit series Yellowstone under the direction of Taylor Sheridan, he had already made a name for himself as a Hollywood heavyweight. But behind the scenes, his career wasn’t without its tensions. One notable instance involved a clash with fellow actor Kurt Russell. The two stars reportedly butted heads over creative differences during the production of a film they were both involved in, showcasing Costner’s strong-willed approach to his craft even before his collaboration with Sheridan. This early friction with Russell is a reminder that the path to success in Hollywood is often paved with intense rivalries and strong personalities.
