“A bit of Hollywood royalty there,” commentator Brian Taylor remarked during the game. “It doesn’t get much bigger than Kevin Costner.”<\/p>\n

The Yellowstone actor’s surprise appearance comes as Costner spends time in Queensland filming Honeymoon With Harry, an upcoming dramedy also starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Sarah Pidgeon.<\/p>\n

The film follows a man who unexpectedly bonds with his late fianc\u00e9e’s father during an unusual honeymoon trip, with Gyllenhaal and Costner leading the cast.<\/p>\n
