Kevin Costner continues to live like a local as he settles into his temporary home in Brisbane.
The Hollywood star has been in Queensland since last month to film his upcoming movie Honeymoon With Harry.
But when the 71-year-old is not required to film across various locations in Brisbane and the Whitsundays, the actor is happy to explore the sights in his down time.
His most recent outing came last night when he was seen dining at upscale restaurant Otto in South Bank alongside his co-stars, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rita Ora, Shaggy and Sarah Pidgeon, who is fresh from her success portraying the last Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in the miniseries, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.
Costner and his four co-stars appeared in good spirits as they dined at the fine dining establishment, during which they didn’t ask for VIP treatment.
Instead, they were happily sitting among other diners at the riverfront hot spot.
The group kept their attire smart casual – The Bodyguard actor dressed in neutrals as did reggae star Shaggy.
Gyllenhaal wore a simple black tee and Pidgeon rocked a brown bomber jacket, but Ora brought the glam in aviator shades and stacked on gold jewellery.
Honeymoon With Harry – based on Bart Baker’s novel of the same name – follows grieving groom, Todd (Gyllenhaal), who loses his fiancee Haley (Pidgeon) just two days out from their wedding.
Instead of cancelling his honeymoon, Todd decides to go and ends up sharing the trip with Haley’s overprotective father, Harry (Costner).
No details have been revealed about Ora’s and Shaggy’s (real name Orville Burrell) characters, but with their music pedigree let’s hope they bring some fresh tracks to the Amazon MGM Studios film.
When Costner isn’t hanging around his famous co-stars, he has been quietly gallivanting around on his own.
The Yellowstone star has been spotted watching an AFL match between Brisbane Lions and Carlton Blues at The Gabba, while also enjoying a whipped cream-topped coffee solo at Belle Époque in South Bank.
The actor also visited a deli and florist in the city, where he happily posed for some selfies with the business owners.
“Nothing to see here, just two hyped fans and a very cool @kevincostner,” the New Farm Deli’s Instagram page captioned a selfie with Costner.
“Needless to say, the deli was thrilled to have Kevin dine with us yesterday.”
He also posed for a photo at Perrotts Florist, with an excited staffer taking photos of the visit.
“Seems like we have a new bodyguard at our New farm store!!!” read the caption alongside the selfie. “I think Sheyda is in good hands.”
Costner has also visited fancy venues such as Greek restaurant Hellenika on James Street and SK Steak & Oyster in Fortitude Valley, where he chatted with former Brisbane Broncos star Darius Boyd and his wife, Kayla Boyd.
“Just a casual Saturday night with our mate Kev,” Kayla captioned a photo of their meeting.
“Kind, humble – an absolute gentleman.”
