Kevin Costner celebrated his 70th birthday by honoring his friendship with late icon, Whitney Houston.
The Yellowstone actor shared a sweet photo of him and Houston on the set of 1992’s romantic thriller, The Bodyguard, and reflected on how much he misses his former costar. “This photo reminds me of how lucky I am to be getting another birthday,” Costner captioned the Jan. 18 post. “We lost such a light when we lost Whitney.”
The photo, originally posted on the late singer’s Instagram account, sees the two actors posed with Houston’s then-hairstylist, Ellin La Var. Her estate, who manages the account following her death in 2012, wished Costner a happy birthday in the caption, to which he responded with a heart emoji in the comments.
The throwback photos didn’t stop there. Costner also celebrated his 70th milestone by sharing a baby picture of himself dressed as a cowboy.
“Thank you guys for the birthday wishes. I was chasing the cowboy life just about as soon as I could walk, and here I am doing it still,” he wrote in the caption, a nod to his four-year stint as John Dutton on Yellowstone and his subsequent Horizon movies. “Here’s to another year of keeping our sights set on our dreams.”
