At this year's Cannes Film Festival, celebrities brought their A-game with their outfits, but Kevin Costner was one of the few who caught many people's attention. The actor graced the red carpet with a bold new look that had people talking. However, this was also a special carpet that he got to walk with his teenage son Hayes.
The Cannes Film Festival has been taking the world by storm, with celebrities showcasing some of their most glamorous attire. One actor who caught people's eyes was renowned actor Kevin Costner.
The actor walked the red carpet for his upcoming film, "Horizon: An American Saga," and brought a special and rarely seen date with him—his son Hayes. The father and son both wore white suits, but Kevin paired his with a button-up shirt, while Hayes opted for a gray t-shirt.
While it was pleasantly surprising to see Kevin with his son, internet users noticed something different about the "Yellowstone'' star. He ditched his clean-shaven look for a mustache and changed his hair color to a reddish blonde.
Fans were delighted to see Hayes and thought he looked much like his father, but Kevin's new hair color was not left unmentioned. "Nice looking son. Time to stop dyeing the hair," one fan commented. Another wondered, “OMG the hair….. Why?” One person also added, “They are so attractive, but their hairdresser doesn’t love them.”
Some netizens did not even recognize Kevin with his new hair color, but one commenter wished the actor would go back to his trimmed facial hair. “Please, lord, leave your natural hair!!! And trim that mustache to be a gentleman again," expressedanother netizen.
On the brighter side, netizens were proud of Hayes and his father for walking the prestigious Cannes Film Festival red carpet. One proud internet user wrote, “How wonderful, and he is just as handsome as his dad. Let's just hope he's as good an actor; I'm sure he is!” Another added, “Good looking like his Dad!”
For the screening of the film, Kevin Costner brought his children out. The entire family was dressed to the nines in support of the actor and his son. The proud father had his children Annie, Cayden, Grace, Hayes, and Lily surrounding him.
His daughter Lily wore a white dress with gray flower details and strappy heels. She let down her blonde strands and finished off the look with red lipstick and black sunglasses. Lily also decided to drape a black blazer over her shoulders.
Annie opted for a green silk one-shoulder dress with fringe detailing. She paired the dress with white heels and kept her brown hair tied in a low ponytail. Grace also chose a simple yet elegant look, wearing a light blue silk gown. The brothers in the family matched their father and opted for classic tuxedos
This red carpet walk is particularly special because Kevin Costner was showcasing a film where he acted alongside his son. Hayes is rarely seen in public with his father, but the 15-year-old has chosen to follow in his father’s footsteps and made his acting debut in "Horizon: An American Saga."
The trailer showing the scene in which he appears—a vivid portrayal of a family's struggle for survival—has marked Hayes as a rising star to watch. Kevin, a revered figure in Hollywood known for his roles in epic tales and Western dramas, not only stars in the two-part movie but also co-wrote and directed it.
Although the movie is only coming out now, the 15-year-old was just 13 when the movie was filmed. Of casting Hayes, the devoted dad who prays that he sticks around to continue raising his young kids, divulged;
"I kind of did it on purpose, so he could be hanging out with me. And the same thing for Cayden, the same thing for Grace. I'm like any other parent, I'm trying to figure out, like, 'This is really neat. You should come be with me.'"
While Hayes might be making strides in his acting career, Kevin is proud of all of his children and is devoted to supporting whatever career moves they decide to make.
Kevin also previously talked about Joe's career, gushing, "My son Joe just got his first job out of college—he's a sound engineer at a music studio. I'm so proud of Joe, Lily, and Annie."
More than just his debut, Hayes's role in his father's saga shows that he inherited Kevin's knack for acting and highlights the father and son's shared passion for storytelling.
Interestingly, when the young boy was born, his dad previously revealed that he was named after a "cowboy character" from a Western movie he had planned to make. Lo and behold, Kevin's plan came to fruition with "Horizon: An American Saga."
"Horizon: An American Saga" promises not only to be a visually stunning piece but also a heartfelt exploration of familial bonds, resilience, and the untamed spirit of adventure that defines the American frontier.
As audiences await the release of this epic saga, the spotlight shines brightly on Kevin Costner's son, whose performance is poised to captivate hearts and highlight the arrival of a new talent in Tinseltown.
