Kevin Costner turns 70 on Saturday (Jan. 18), and his fans shared their mostly overjoyed reactions after the official Yellowstone account on Instagram wished him a happy birthday.
Costner was born on Jan. 18, 1955. The official Yellowstone IG posted a simple birthday message to the show’s former star on Saturday, sharing a picture of him sitting on the tailgate of a pickup truck in his full John Dutton cowboy gear.
“Happy Birthday to @kevincostner!” the post reads, accompanied by the hashtag #YellowstoneTV.
Fans’ reactions were overwhelmingly positive, with the post drawing more than 30,000 likes in the two hours after it was posted, while the comments section was flooded with fans from all over the world who wanted to join in the birthday wishes.
“Happy 70th Birthday to my favorite actor of all time! You are loved, Kevin Michael Costner!” one fan writes, while another gushes, “The best!”
Another IG user made a joke about the potential awkwardness of the post, writing, “When your ex wishes you a happy birthday,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Even one of Costner’s former Yellowstone castmates got in on the action. Finn Little — who played Carter on Yellowstone, and had a number of important scenes with Costner — was among those who liked the birthday post.

Costner starred on Yellowstone as patriarch John Dutton from its premiere in 2018 until 2024, when he confirmed that he was not returning for the second half of Season 5 due to scheduling conflicts with a passion project of his titled Horizon: An American Saga.
His character died in the opening minutes of Season 5’s second half, and while it initially looked like a suicide, it turned out that John Dutton was murdered by assassins hired by Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri).
Yellowstone Season 5 wrapped on Dec. 15, 2024, and as far as we know, that marked the end of the show.
