Kevin Costner Says His 5 Kids Needed a 'Tour Director' in Cannes When They Came to Support His Film
The actor brought his kids Hayes, Grace, Annie, Cayden and Lily to the premiere of his film 'Horizon: An American Saga'
Kevin Costner's kids had a busy trip planned when they visited Cannes to see their dad's new film.
The Yellowstone alum, 69, appeared on a Tuesday, May 21 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and talked about his experience bringing five of his seven kids to the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his film Horizon: An American Saga. Costner was seen with sons Hayes, 15, and Cayden, 17, as well as daughters Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Grace, 13.
"I wanted them to see me work. I brought five of them and got them tuxedos. I bought them dresses," Costner says of bringing his kids. "I wanted to know how worried they were, that they were going to stick with me and support me."

"And the minute they got there, my two sons went fishing. Got a boat, went fishing. My three daughters ended up on a boat and said they would see me around 3 or 4 o'clock — me working. And then made a call and they were drinking drinks at this point," the dad of seven says.
"So they cruised in around 8 o'clock at night. I've been working. I said, 'We came to France to be as a family and they go, ‘It’s working great, Dad.'"
When his kids asked what they should do next, Costner replied, "I don't know, we need your tour director to figure that out."
Elsewhere in the conversation, Costner spoke about how his son Hayes had a part in Horizon.
"He didn’t have to audition. Listen, I know these parts are so important in people’s careers so I don’t just hand them out like candy," the proud dad said.
"Actually, the character I play is called Hayes Ellison and you know, I started this thing in 1988 and in 2024, I’m finally making it. But I named my son Hayes and he was 13 years old and I thought, ‘I really have to make this movie.’"
"And I looked at him, I said, ‘You know, I want you to be in this movie and if you see it, it’s a devastating moment. It’s a moment you never want to have to experience but the choice that he makes also will put a lump in your throat, when you see what he does."
At the premiere of his film, Costner was seen posing on the red carpet, wearing a bespoke black suit and bowtie by BRIONI, standing in between son Hayes and Grace.
Next to Grace, daughter Annie posed next to son Cayden while daughter Lily stood on the other side of Hayes. The family smiled as they posed together for the rare moment, getting ready to head into the venue.
As he took to the stage to address the crowd once the screening finished, Costner shared that the event was made extra special by his kids' attendance.
"I'll never forget this," the star told the audience, where his kids sat front row. "Neither with my children. They all look so beautiful, dressed up so nice, the women, the men. They're so handsome."
Costner shares daughters Annie and Lily, as well as son Joe, 36, with ex-wife Cindy Silva. He is dad to son Liam, 26, with ex Bridget Rooney, and shares his kids Cayden, Hayes and Grace with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner.
