Kevin Costner praised his son Hayes' performance in his new film 'Horizon: An American Saga' during a Monday, June 17, appearance on Today

Kevin Costner and Hayes Costner attend the 'Horizon: An American Saga' photocall at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 19, 2024.

“He’s a beautiful boy and he’s quiet,” Costner, 69, gushed on the Monday, June 17, episode of Today. His casting, however, went against the actor’s beliefs about celebrities involving their kids in their projects. Despite Hayes’ little acting experience, Costner praised his son for turning in a “really beautiful” performance. In the film’s trailer, Hayes’ character can be seen hiding his mother and sister in a secret door in the floorboards as their home is being attacked, seemingly sacrificing himself in the process.

Making Hayes’ acting debut even more special is the fact that Costner named his son after Horizon’s lead character, Hayes Ellison, as the film has been in the works for over three decades. “I was watching him grow up and I was thinking, ‘Man, I better get with it and make this movie!” he told Entertainment Tonight in April.Costner shares Hayes, as well as Cayden, 17, and Grace, 14, with his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner.
