Kevin Costner says Chris Hemsworth is ‘So Handsome’ but rejected him for a major role in a new movie.
Hemsworth said, “There was a movie, a script that I’d read and loved and was like, ‘I want to get that,’ and then someone said, ‘Kevin Costner has that [role],’ and I’d love [to have] him as a director.”
He continued, “I was like, ‘Goddamnit!’ [I spent] an hour the other day trying to convince him, and he was like, ‘I’m doing it, kid.’ Didn’t work. I didn’t get the part.”
He added, “It’s a small story about a man and a woman. There’s horses involved, he’s a horse wrangler, and my wife read it and loves horses. We have 10 or 11 horses back home, and so she’s like, ‘You’ve got to do this.’”
Costner continued, “He’s so handsome and he’s so good. He’s going to have to go find his own love story. But I’m glad he likes this one. If I reach a moment where I don’t think I could do that, I would reach out. He’s certainly one of our great leading men right now.”
