Yellowstone star Kevin Costner is turning into a brooding mope with the flop of his vanity project Horizon movie and fast-fading romance with songbird Jewel, according to sources who say worried pals are telling him to get it together and stop sulking.
"He's no fun anymore. The joy and the spring has gone out of his step," an insider spilled.
Costner and Jewel were seen getting cozy in December 2023.
The 69-year-old Oscar winner has been busy promoting the first part of his epic Civil War passion project and sources say the slamming critics gave it at the Cannes Film Festival still stings, RadarOnline.com has learned.
"He's putting on this bravado and coming up with all these excuses why Hollywood is not on his side. But he's becoming tiresome to everyone, and the pity party just never ends," revealed the snitch. "He complains about working hard and wanting to carve out time off, but he doesn't do it, and the tired beat just goes on."
"Clearly, Kevin's feeling sorry for himself and he's letting the world know and licking his wounds following the savage reviews for Horizon's opening and the sting of his divorce from wife and baby mom Christine Baumgartner. But it's the scorn for the movie that hurts most."
"He's no fun anymore. The joy and the spring has gone out of his step," an insider spilled.
Critics blasted Costner's epic as the "dullest cinematic vanity project of the century" and likened it to his 1995 movie bomb, Waterworld, where he played a mutant mariner with gills sailing the mostly ocean-covered Earth following a melting of the polar ice caps, instead of his Oscar-winning hit Dances with Wolves.
Costner's film drama emerged after his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce from the actor in May 2023.
Costner previously said that he took a beating in the press over the Yellowstone producers "not speaking up for me" after reports of behind-the-scenes drama pertaining to his exit.
"They imploded. I had a contract to do five, six and seven. I was contracted to do that," he told Deadline. "There's nothing I could have done to get out of that, nor was I trying to just figure out how, when we started. When we finished, I wanted to do Horizon. It all happened because they shut down one whole season, didn’t tell anybody and I didn’t work for 14 months."
