While love might be in the air on screen, that isn’t always necessarily the case in real life. How many Hollywood horror stories have you heard in which co-stars that are lovey-dovey in front of the camera despise one another off? Yellowstone has a few of our favorite on-screen dynamics, from Cole Hauser’s Rip and Kelly Reilly’s Beth to Kelsey Asbille’s Monica and Luke Grimes’ Kayce — but does this cast get along behind the scenes?
Does the ‘Yellowstone’ cast get along with Kelly Reilly?
Certain actors or actresses on the show have to dig deep for their performances, especially someone like Kelly Reilly, who brings to life the tough-as-nails Dutton daughter Beth. Over the years, her character has shown immense strength and a complete disregard for repercussions when it comes to defending her family and those she cares about. But is Kelly Reilly nearly as menacing as Beth? Her co-stars say no.
“She is one of the sweetest people and sweetest actors,” said Wes Bentley, who plays Jamie, to Cinema Blend. “She has to go so far to get to Beth.” It’s good to know their on-screen hostility doesn’t translate to real life!
Reilly’s on-screen hubby also had nothing but good things to say about the actress, also explaining to Cinema Blend that she’s one of his favorite actresses he’s had the opportunity to work with.
“…Working with her on this relationship has just been so much fun,” he shared.
Some of the cast serve as mentors
Jefferson White plays the part of Jimmy, and he has been one to give credit to his more experienced cowboy peers, singing their praise for the guidance and help they’ve given him over the course of his time on the show.
Of working with co-stars like Kevin Costner, Cole Hauser and Forrie J. Smith, White told Screen Rant: “There’s so many amazing actors and cowboys on our set that I get to learn from,” he said.
“…In this world, in both acting and in the western world, the world of horsemanship, as soon as you think you know it all, you’re wrong and you’re done and you’re limiting yourself.”
Does the ‘Yellowstone’ cast get along with Cole Hauser?
Cole Hauser plays the ever-so-lovable Rip, and the proof is in the pudding that he’s just as lovely in real-life as he is on TV.
“We work really hard, and we both have a lot of fondness for each other as people,” said his fictional wife Kelly Reilly in an interview with LA Times. “We’re both happily married people and we’re in a playing field of complete safety and respect.”
What about Kevin Costner?
Despite the controversy that has surrounded Kevin Costner in recent days regarding his participation in the upcoming season of Yellowstone, the fact still remains that his co-stars have have had nothing but praise for the Dutton patriarch over the years.
“I’ve learned a lot about just being a gentleman on set and just a class act…He’s got [a] a family. I have three kids, a wonderful wife. And he’s just someone to look up to in my opinion,” said Cole Hauser in 2022 to Fox Digital News.
Costner’s fictional son Kayce, played by Luke Grimes, also gave a glimpse into the bond they share off-screen, explaining to Good Housekeeping that the veteran actor would always be open to visitors by his trailer, saying, “He’s got a fire pit, and he’s a musician, so he’s always got a guitar around and won’t hesitate to play you a song. He does a really good job of taking the pressure off what a huge icon he is.”
Does the ‘Yellowstone’ cast get along with Luke Grimes?
Luke Grimes is another integral member of the cast, and his co-stars also share that working alongside him is a treat. Kelsey Asbille, who plays his wife Monica, has shared that trust and comfort are what make things work when playing these characters. “It’s a wonderful partnership,” she told Looper.
It’s safe to say that this cast has a lot of love for each other, and we can’t wait to see how things play out for the Duttons next season!
