Kevin Costner was pushed to try cocaine early in his career.
The 69-year-old actor was offered the drug in question by crew members on one of his first projects, which he reluctantly accepted after being pressured to use it several times in a club.
As part of the “Armchair Expert” podcast, he told host Dax Shepard: “The electricians came in like rock stars. They were setting up the set. They stayed for three weeks laying cables, then The sets were built. At one point, they took me back into a room and said, “Here,” and they pulled out a little line of coke. They said, ‘Thanks for everything. you do for us.’ I tried but I didn’t feel anything. I tried a second time and a third time.”
The ‘Yellowstone’ actor eventually admitted that he prefers money to drugs and isn’t too upset about being ‘left out’ of certain groups because ‘he feels lucky to ‘having avoided a deadly habit.
He continues: “And finally, I said to them, ‘Hey, look, how much is that? He said, ‘It’s about 20 dollars,’ and I said, ‘I can tell you something? I’m trying to buy my first house. If you think what I’m doing is cool, I’ll need 20 dollars. And I was kicked out of the club immediately. I was lucky I didn’t like it.”
