From Kevin Costner to Kelly Reilly and Luke Grimes, these stars sported completely different looks…
It’s hard to imagine Kevin Costner, Kelly Reilly or Luke Grimes anywhere other than Yellowstone Ranch.
But, before they were Duttons, the cast led very different lives and sported very different looks!
Keep scrolling to see the most epic throwback photos – and surprising haircuts – from the early days of their careers.
Kevin Costner
After combing through the archives, we unearthed a photo of Kevin Costner from the early days of his career, and while the date remains a mystery, we reckon it was taken sometime in the 1970s, just before he landed his breakthrough role in Sizzle Beach, U.S.A. (1981).
With his longer locks and slick side-parting, the actor is almost unrecognizable here! Fun fact – Kevin only decided to pursue acting after a chance meeting with Hollywood legend Richard Burton, in 1978.
Speaking to WENN, Kevin revealed that he’d been boarding a plane home from his honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta with his first wife, Cindy Silva, when he spotted Richard. “I remember him reading a book and as I walked over to talk to him, the whole airplane sort of stood up like a wave in a stadium! I looked very young and I said, ‘Excuse me sir, when you get a moment can I ask you a bit of advice?’”
With Richard’s permission, Kevin sat down for a chat that would ultimately change his life. “We had a talk that was just between us and then I went and sat back down in my seat,” he recalled. Noting that the Cleopatra star wished him “Good luck” once their plane had landed, Kevin added that he never saw Richard again, but his impact was invaluable.
Kelly Reilly
Kelly Reilly discovered her passion for acting at a young age and landed one of her earliest on-screen roles in Prime Suspect. After writing a letter to producers and asking for work on the ITV crime drama, Kelly went on to appear on the show in 1995 and followed up with further appearances in Bramwell (1996), Rebecca (1997) and Pie in the Sky (1997).
By 1999, a then 21-year-old Kelly was cast as Nancy in Wonderful You for ITV. The above photo is from an official photocall for the series, and we’re obsessed with the star’s flaming red hair.
