Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner is an American film actor, director and producer, winner of two Academy Awards, and he received one as a director for his own debut film. Also, the artist is the winner of the Golden Globe and Emmy awards, stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The main "bodyguard" of world cinema Kevin Costner was born in Californian Linwood in January 1955. Kevin Michael Costner - this is the full name of the star - became the third son in the family. And although the Costners lived rather modestly (mom is an employee of the Department of Health, and dad is a simple employee of a housing and communal enterprise), the family was strong and friendly.

Kevin often went fishing or played football with his father and brothers. And the boy also attended the choir, where his mother recorded him, in order to develop his musical abilities.

In his teens, the future actor became interested in playing baseball. Kevin even dreamed of being a professional in this sport, but after school he entered the University of Fullerton, choosing the finance and marketing department. To diversify his leisure time, he enrolled in a theater studio at the university. Ultimately, this determined the future fate of the young man.

To finally leave his chosen profession, Costner was helped by a chance meeting with Hollywood celebrity Richard Burton, a week after which the biography of Kevin Costner made a sharp turn. The aspiring marketer quit his job and went to Hollywood.

The debut role for Kevin turned out to be that first pancake, which later turned out to be a lump. When the wind blew in Costner's pocket, the aspiring actor was offered to play in a porn film called "Wild Beach". The physical data of the artist (height 185 cm, weight 79 cm) were suitable for the proposed role.

Costner agreed, which he later regretted. This low-budget film appeared in 1981, and when the actor became famous and his name was known in Hollywood, "Wild Beach" unexpectedly "surfaced".

Troma TV, which specialized in low-quality projects, bought the rights to Wild Beach and re-launched the film. Troma hit a solid jackpot, and Costner blushed for a long time and regretted such a rash act.

However, when the path to big cinema was just beginning, Costner did not know that he was destined to become a Hollywood star. After filming the ill-fated porn, Kevin began attending auditions, and he was noticed. Director Laurence Kasdan invited the young actor to the new project "Severe Cold". He got the role of a hero who committed suicide. After editing, all the scenes with the artist were cut, only one remained - with the character's corpse.

Colleagues began to laugh at the novice actor. Therefore, Lawrence Kasdan, in order to make amends, entrusted Kevin Costner with the main role in the film "Silverado". The famous Kevin Klein and Danny Glover played in the picture, but they could not outshine Kevin. We can say that it was with this film that Costner's triumphal path at the "dream factory" began.

The former financier became widely known after the films "The Untouchables" and "No Way Out" were released in 1987. In 1988-1989, Kevin Costner starred in the films Darkham Bull and The Field of His Dreams.

The artist used the royalties from these projects to realize his old dream: he was able to shoot his own film "Dancing with Wolves". The tape was released in 1990, the main role was played by the novice director himself.

Unexpectedly for many, the tape became the hit of the year. And the awards received for the picture exceeded the wildest expectations of the creator. The Oscar in two nominations at once was a sensation. Kevin Costner became one of six filmmakers who made their debut in world cinematography to receive the coveted statuette for their first film.

After this film masterpiece Costner occupied 2 niches at once: the first as one of the best Hollywood actors and the second as the most successful director of the "dream factory".

In 1991, Kevin Costner continued his conquest of Hollywood heights, starring in the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." The tape was a commercial success. However, it cannot even be compared with the triumph that happened after the release of the movie masterpiece "The Bodyguard", where Costner acted as a producer, and also starred with Whitney Houston as the main character. World fame fell on the actor.

Another project by Kevin called "Ideal World" was also warmly received by the audience, which was released the next year after "The Bodyguard". Costner is directed and co-directed by Clint Eastwood.

The reputation of the star director suffered greatly after the release of the fantastic film "Water World", which failed at the box office. His next work, The Postman, did not bring much success either.

In 2013, the actor starred in the comic blockbuster Man of Steel, where he played the role of Jonathan Kent, Superman's adoptive father, who recruits the hero who came to Earth after the death of his home planet.

2015 brought the actor the main role in the sports drama "Trainer". The film is based on the victory of the McFarland school team at the 1987 California Cross Country Championships.

In 2016, Kevin Costner returned to the role of Jonathan Kent in the new sci-fi action movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a sequel to the Superman film and part of the DC comics' superhero crossover.

Fans of the artist note the external resemblance between Kevin and his colleague in the acting workshop Bob Odenkirk, who, in addition to his artistic career, is also involved in producing and directing. Unlike Costner, Bob is known as a comedy performer and participant in various television shows and series.

Kevin Costner's personal life has surprisingly coincided with the ups and downs of his career. In the early 1990s, the actor divorced his first wife, Cindy Silva, with whom he experienced the peak of his own fame in his youth. 16 years together and three children failed to save this marriage. After the divorce, there was a serious decline in the artist's creative biography.

Costner had an illegitimate son, Liam, in 1996. The mother of the boy was actress Bridget Rooney, but the couple's life together did not work out.

Career success returned to Kevin with the advent of the new century. And along with the white stripe, Costner's personal life began to improve. The actor met the beautiful Christine Baumgartner and married his sweetheart in 2004. The couple are raising three children. News from the artist's life periodically appears on the Web. From his account on Instagram, he acquaints subscribers with the events of his creative life by posting relevant photos.

In the mid-90s, the director's new hobby was music. Kevin mastered playing the guitar and began performing as a country rock singer. Only in 2007, on the advice of his second wife, he created the group Kevin Costner & Modern West, which has several albums on its account.

Now Kevin continues to use his acting charm and charisma to create vivid images. In 2019, he starred in the crime thriller Chasing Bonnie and Clyde, where Woody Harrelson acted as his partner. The artist also took part in the creation of the film "The Incredible World through the Eyes of Enzo" about the dog and his relationship with people. Kevin was honored to voice the main character.

In 2020, the crime thriller Let him go was shown, in which Costner was reincarnated as a retired sheriff.
