It was with great pride that Kevin Costner waved his prize on the German red carpet. The American actor, director and producer was one of the fourteen winners celebrated during the Bambi Awards 2024 ceremony. An award in the “International Actor” category which was presented to him at the Bavaria Filmstadt studios in Munich on November 7. The 69-year-old “Bodyguard” star was honored for his “excellence as an actor, his visionary creativity and his exceptional contributions to the film industry.”
Dressed in a three-piece black tuxedo with an elegant bow tie, Kevin Costner had delicately trimmed his beard and his famous cowboy mustache. During the official photos, the native Californian held his pretty Bambi firmly in hand. It was only after his appearance in front of the cameras that the hero of “Waterworld” received the real trophy on the podium.

On stage, Christine Baumgartner’s ex-husband joined the other award-winning talents, including Bryan Adams, Jella Haase, Margot Friedländer, and Martin Schreier. The event was followed by a performance on the microphone by the famous Robbie Williams, who received the “Entertainment” award. The British singer then gave a speech alongside German footballer Toni Kross, crowned in the sports category.

Broken contact with his “Yellowstone” comrades?
During his trophy presentation in Munich, Kevin Costner’s on-screen partners gathered for a completely different reason. It was in New York that Luke Grimes, Kelsey Asbille, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Wes Bentley and Gil Birmingham attended the premiere of their series “Yellowstone”. The actors walked the red carpet at MoMA to promote the second part of season 5, which will be released on November 11.
Kevin Costner has been sharing the poster for this neo-western with his comrades since 2018. The American has, however, decided to give up filming the final episodes, preferring to devote himself to his role as Haysen Ellison in his new film “Horizon: An American Saga , chapter 1”, revealed at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. “Yellowstone” should therefore say goodbye to its main character, John Dutton.
