Kevin Costner’s Kids Make Rare Red Carpet Appearance Dressed to the Nines
Kevin Costner’s children made a big show of support for their dad recently, as five of them joined him for a special red carpet appearance at Cannes Film Festival. They looked glamorous as they posed for pictures at the premiere for his film, Horizon: An American Saga.
The Bodyguard star looked dapper in a black tuxedo with a bow tie as he stood in the center of the group. His sons Cayden, 17, and Hayes, 15, who he shares with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, stood on either side of him in matching tuxedos. Lily, 37, and Annie, 40, who he shares with ex-wife Cindy Silva, were also there, looking stunning in a white floral dress with oversized black blazer and a shimmery green waterfall dress, respectively. Grace, 13, who he shares with Baumgartner, wore a silky blue gown. His kids Joe, 36, with Silva, and Liam, 26, who he shares with Bridget Rooney, were not in attendance.
The event was also a special one for Costner’s son Hayes, who made his acting debut in the film. In April, Costner told Entertainment Tonight that his son actually was named after the character in the movie, written by Costner.
“I named him after the character I play in this,” he said about the film he started working on in the late ‘80s. “My character’s name is Hayes Ellison. And I named Hayes that character. So I was watching him grow up and I was thinking, ‘Man, I better get with it and make this movie.’”
“I captured him and I brought him on, and he’s very good in this small part that he’s done,” Costner added. “If you see it, I think he has an impact on the movie.”
The movie premiered at Cannes and received a 7-minute standing ovation. In a clip shared by Variety, the Yellowstone actor looked visibly moved by the reaction. “I’m sorry you had to clap that long for me to understand that I should speak,” Costner joked. “Such good people. Such a good moment, not just for me, but for the actors that came with me, for people who believed in me, who continued to work. It’s a funny business, and I’m so glad I found it. There’s no place like here. I’ll never forget this — either will my children.”
