In 1993, Kevin Costner thought quite highly of himself after starring in The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston, a massive hit. His next part was in a film directed byClint Eastwood. Now Eastwood takes shit from nobody, and he likes to do all scenes in one take. Every actor or actress is expected to be on set on time, say the lines, shoot, and be done. No nonsense Costner did the unthinkable — he kept Eastwood waiting. Stayed in his trailer and sent a message that he “wasn’t ready”. Kept the whole production waiting, in fact, for a scene. And the old director didn’t flinch, didn’t get mad, he just called for Costner’s stunt double who looks a lot like the guy from a distance. Said: “Give him Costner’s costume!” So the stunt double goes and changes, and they shoot the scene with him, instead. Before you know it, the scene is done. Kevin Costner comes out of his trailer an hour late, says he’s ready to shoot the scene now. And it’s already done! And this is why I admire Clint Eastwood — he doesn’t accept diva behavior. You’re all members of a team, from the big name actors to the sound guy or the lady doing the makeup and no one is treated any different or given special treatment.
