Kevin Costner’s recent public appearance has ignited speculation regarding the actor’s use of Botox and other cosmetic procedures, prompting concerns from his friends about potential long-term effects.
Sources tell that friends are contemplating an intervention as they fear Costner, 69, may be risking permanent damage to his appearance. The actor was recently spotted reuniting with his Bull Durham co-star, Susan Sarandon, 77, in Italy, 36 years after their successful collaboration in the beloved baseball film. Observers noted that his face appeared “frozen.”
This scrutiny follows a tumultuous year for Costner, which included a high-profile divorce from his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, 50, and challenges surrounding his role in the acclaimed series Yellowstone. Additionally, part one of his passion project, Horizon, underperformed at the box office.
An insider revealed, “He’s under a lot of pressure right now to look his best. He’s doing numerous media appearances and is reportedly seeking a younger partner, making him more critical of his aging face.” The source further explained that instead of seeking tailored advice, Costner has opted to give his surgeon free rein, resulting in an appearance some describe as “unnatural.”
Friends have noted that Costner’s face appears “overly frozen,” suggesting an over-reliance on Botox. “It’s kind of excessive as far as friends are concerned,” the insider shared. They expressed that a few wrinkles were part of his charm, and seeing him alter his look has been disconcerting. Ironically, had Baumgartner still been by his side, she might have guided him toward a more natural aesthetic, something she has always valued.
As Costner navigates this challenging chapter in his life, concerns about his changing appearance reflect the pressures he faces in the public eye.
