Clint Eastwood has directed and starred in several films, but he only worked with Kevin Costner on a 1993 thriller because the younger actor rewrote the script. Both Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner are legends of the Western genre, both in front of and behind the camera. Eastwood's best Westerns include legendary films like the Dollars trilogy and Unforgiven, and he's also directed hits like Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino. Likewise, Costner has had his fair share of major acting hits like Field of Dreams and JFK, as well as massively successful directorial outings like Dances with Wolves.

Despite their success, Eastwood and Costner only ever appeared in one film together, and it wasn't even a traditional Western. 1993's A Perfect World was a crime thriller about an escaped convict who kidnapped a young boy, and it pitted Costner and Eastwood on opposite sides of the law. What's more interesting than the film's genre,...

But let’s flip the script for a moment! Did you know this Oscar-winning actor, 69, once found himself under the simmering gaze of Clint Eastwood on the set of the 1993 crime thriller, A Perfect World? Despite often being cast as the paragon of parental virtues, Costner’s tantrums ballooned a bit too much, leading to a rare moment of tension with Eastwood.

What Went Wrong Between Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood?...

Since the 1960s, Clint Eastwood has been a major box office draw, tackling genres like Western, action and comedy. Rising to fame through his performance as Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" protagonist, The Man With No Name, the actor became one of the key, defining performers of the twentieth century. Succeeding John Wayne as the face of the Western genre, Eastwood is often associated with gunslingers of the Old West. However, those aren't his only roles, and some of his best are from completely different genres.

Clint Eastwood has as strong a directorial career as an acting one, taking a very hands-on approach to every movie he works on. Ranging from action-packed thrillers to tense dramas, the actor has demonstrated an impressive range of talent, though his action, gunslinger roles remain the favorite. Outside of Westerns, the actor/director continues to have a profound impact on cinema and maintains one...
