Question About Kevin Costner Goes Viral on Montana Facebook
We all know who Kevin Costner is. He's starred in several movies throughout his career, and most recently, he's been getting a lot of attention for his role as John Dutton in the hit Paramount+ series Yellowstone. Montanans tend to have mixed feelings regarding the show, but one thing is for certain, it's incredibly popular.
I was scrolling through Facebook earlier today, and saw a question posted on the MONTANA-tude! page. A user had asked a question about Kevin Costner and it has been getting a ton of comments. Here's the question.
Is Kevin Costner a Cowboy?
Apparently, the person has gotten into an argument with a friend, and the friend was adamant that Kevin Costner is not a cowboy. The user clarified that they weren't talking about the character he plays on the show. They were referring to how he lives his life.
Most of the responses said, no, Kevin Costner is not a cowboy. The fact that he owns a ranch in Colorado was brought up, and people quickly responded that owning a ranch doesn't make you a cowboy. That's very true, there are a lot of people that own ranches throughout Montana that aren't cowboys. Here's one of the comments.
Wearing a hat, playing a cowboy, or owning a ranch does not make you a cowboy.
I decided to ask a few of my coworkers, and all of them pretty much said the same thing. Kevin Costner isn't a cowboy, he's a Hollywood actor.
