In 1990 Kevin Costner was offered the lead in a film that needed a big star to get the studio financing, but Costner turned it down because he had been working three years straight and needed a break. Costner's wife, Cindy Silva, read the script and realized its importance and told her husband, "This film has to be made." The film was JFK by Oliver Stone. Thank you, Cindy Silva.

[@waynej2608]

And, it's Costner's best acting. Imho. Wonderful performance.

[@ruthafritap]

I love how relaxed and chill Kevin was in here. He’s funny and charming. And he seems to get on with Gary really well.

[@BackrowErnie]

That fan encounter of Kevin Costner’s was unbelievably moving and made me respect him as a human being. Beautiful

[@user-od7nz9fs6z]

Kevin is a beautiful soul, a down to earth human with a gorgeous smile. Love him so much ❤

[@KnightEnterprises]

Second to Errol Flynn’s smile.

[@LC-sj8lp]

I have always loved Kevin Costner as an actor but I have so much respect for him for his speech at Whitney's funeral. It was so sweet and classy. Love his new show Yellowstone.

[@vanmoody]

I was not a huge Costner fan but I really love him in Yellowstone. I told my wife about my feelings and she laughed because of cracks I had made about him before. He has gained respect as far I am concerned.

[@LC-sj8lp]

@@vanmoody yellowstone is so good and underrated. Im glad youre watching though!!

[@laureanoalfaro9351]

You can bet Gary likes Kevin because the dude perfectly knows what he is, what he can and what he has to improve in order to at least try it. Is not the first interview where he comes across as a very clever, hard working, centered fella, a real proffesional in the true sense of the word.

[@lynnturman8157]

Everybody knows Gary Oldman is a great actor but so is Kevin Costner. Yes, he's a movie star but he's also very underrated as an actor.

Gary Oldman is such a great actor, and He seems like a Lovely Man. It's fun to listen to Kevin Costner, too, and see Crash Davis in His speech.

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

To be honest, Gary Oldman was very underrated actor before winning the oscars recently. I will never forget his performance in Dracula with Reeves and also with Ford in Air Force One.

[@marcdaniels9079]

Underrated ??? I think not 😅

[@paulrichardson9843]

Gary Oldman has never been underrated in the UK. He'd done a lot of theatre and made some good movies before he went to Hollywood. The amazing thing is he just seems to get better and better.

[@edkeaton7242]

Jim Garrison and Lee Harvey Oswald together again. They were both great in "JFK" and it's great to see the both of them along with Tommy Lee Jones in "Criminal."

[@TheJensanna]

I could listen to them all day long!

[@AdrianMulligan]

I must say, Kevin Costner is looking really well!

[@JasonPerryman]

One of those actors that gets possibly better with age.

[@crabbypatty10fefrefe]

He seriously looks exactly like he did 20 years ago!

[@LUVMENOW70]

Agreed!!!

[@waynej2608]

It's all that going back to the past and hanging out with Doc Graham, that haults his aging.

[@Danny-fs1hk]

Draft Day & Mr Brooks might be my favorite Costner films.

[@mariahenrich9602]

Very smart men to stay away from politics. And this was 6 years ago. Oldman gave a beautiful acceptance speech at the Oscars and he spoke about being so proud of becoming a US citizen and making the US his home and the Hollywood audience just remained almost shocked by what he said. I think this is the new America Oldman's talking about.

[@DrCrabfingers]

Costner! A very real person...I like him.

[@jamesfarrington9030]

Costner never seems to age.

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

Not just in the USA "politics" are going off the trails. I come from Sweden and social media has a similar tendency here. Really important stuff could get pushed under the carpet while someone says something and that is the focus for thousands of people. There are big questions being handled and people don't know and it gets to a point where many don't even care. I find it a very bad way.. Everyone can make a little difference. Try to do something constructive. Go out and clean your street from rubbish, help a friend in need, help your neighbor to move in, come with criticism that is grounded in reality and can be done. Instead people focus mainly on themselves and their "status" in society and don't really care what actually happens with the society at large.

[@tikari3987]

Love Kevin Costner, he is my childhood hero, love Gary Oldman, love these guys together :)

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I find incredible to be seeing these two tremendous movie stars, and above all Gary, who is the chameleon of the acting. For some people he is a great actor but, for the others he is the unforgettable Sirius Black.

[@Claude-Eckel]

Costner looks just great. 63? No way.

[@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815]

Both Kevin and Gary are multifaceted Actor/Director and Musician. Smart interesting guys. Gary was v close to David Bowie so must be a good musician.

[@Daveaaaaa]

I wish Larry King wouldn't cut them off just when they get into talking about some interesting stuff.

[@JasonPerryman]

I kinda feel the same way. Though I think it may be down to the editors, or if Larry is doing so it's because it's such a tight interview trying to cram in so much interesting stuff in just under 27 minutes. I think his cuts come in when the interesting answers are just coming to an end though.

[@enyjuan]

[@joelbennett9014]

Larry King interviews are always the best. It's strange how it works, he's so direct and short in his lines of questioning - the interviews move forward so easily.

[@buggyboogle9]

Gary Oldman is my favourite actor and he looks great here. Kevin Costner looks great and his skin is in wonderful condition. With Larry, I have noticed - he seems to make more of Kevin than Gary. Subtle but noticeable. Other interviewers, especially British interviewers learn to do this without playing to the bigger star.

[@jillleonard3212]

Generous statements about writing but it takes talent like Costner and Oldman to make the words come to life.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Gary's laughing is infectious.

[@emiliajanus4328]

No offense to Larry, God rest him, but I would be so pissed off being interrupted like that. Good on Gary for rolling with it.

[@straycat1674]

I think these guys understand that that’s his job to interject and interrupt. He’s got points that he supposed to make or ask questions about. I mean this is definitely not something that they’re on a custom too. In every day interactions we would consider incredibly rude, they probably consider it just part of the job.

[@strangedays871]

Larry King seems like he could care less. Costner was trying to make the point about rehearsal and larry just moves on to another topic. He seems to have no real interest in the topics he covers, just like he is on autopilot all the time.

Incredibly haven't heard Oldman in his natural accent before. Anyone reading this should watch the series 'Slow Horses'. Oldman is a just on a different level. From a fan of Oldman since Dracula.

[@deborahmcdonald8960]

Kevin has had so many personal experiences that one way or another moved him and touched his heart and soul. It’s a gift to a story teller like Kevin is. You feel the emotions he felt while encountering that person. He is a very deliberate speaker. Also a gifted writer. Which produces a yarn master. Kevin has the gift of long ago. Story teller of the ancients
