I love real men. They are few and far between any more.

Kevin Costner is one of the very few who is highly intelligent, humble, and very handsome. He is aging gracefully and not vain. He has a great sense of humour and can express a seriousness that you rarely see. Thankyou so much for sharing all this with us today, Mr Costner.

There is no bigger, stronger man than one who loves animals and can cry. This man is the ultimate. Please don't leave Yellowstone. I'm 81, my last good show to watch.

He's so eloquent! He delivers a speech like no one can! 😢❤

Thank you Kevin, for the many years of amazing entertainment, you shared with all of us.

In our world of plastic surgery enhanced actors, how refreshing to see such a handsome man aging gracefully. He really seems like a man you’d love to spend time with, to talk with & listen to. ❤️

Can't really get much better than that. What a beautiful moving, living story. Kevin always draws you in with each word, like you're part of it all, and really we are.

I could hear this wonderful man telling his stories for endless hours... I think I love him. : )

I only knew Kevin Costner as one of the greatest actors ever. This speech brought a new respect for such a humble, caring man.

I lost my Dad yesterday, wasn’t expecting to hear a song from KC let alone a song like that. Thank you Sir 🙏

This is the best celebrity speech I’ve ever heard. So many new reasons to love Kevin Costner. ❤❤❤😊🎉

Congratulations Kevin Costner you deserve this award , Kevin Costner is a amazing actor and singer you are amazing story teller

What a wonderful tribute to your father....the song will live forever. He must have been very proud....

I could listen to him talk all day. He's got a real gift for speaking - no matter the topic!

I happened upon this youtube post by accident. This speech will go down in history. He is so eloquent and his words moving. Some people will think the subject matter is hunting and guns. To me the speech represents family, love and freedom. Kevin Costner is not scared to speak from the heart. This is so refreshing and what is missing globally in 2023. We must all follow his example.

He is an amazing man. His words really touches your heart. 😘❤️

I wish my Dad could have heard this. He hunted with his father to help feed the family in the draught ravaged prairie of the late 30s, and to feed the family he and my mother created. The Enfield rifle and his shotgun are still being used by family today, in the same prairied landscape he loved so much. This speech brought back so many memories, I'm in tears. Thankyou for posting this and thankyou Mr. Costner.

Kevin sat there while the song played with a trillion emotions running through his body...Thank you Sir it was amazing

What a beautiful story and equally beautiful song. Kevin Costner has so much talent! We need more like him. 💖

He is a beautiful man, kind, generous, forgiving, patient human being. You are loved Kevin by all!❤

Speaking from the heart . So sincere , a real man . He’s blessed and grateful .

He is definetly one of the best male actors of this life time. And a really good song. 👌

Thank you Mr. Costner for this beautiful speech! Very moving, funny and emotional. The closing... Amazing! Thank you.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this, but it breaks my heart, each time. When you love your dad as much as he did, it won’t ever go away. He will always have a special memory in his heart. Kevin, you should become a writer when you decide to hang up your spurs. You would be a great one, for one reason, you would make the reader, feel as if they were right there in the story. God bless you and stay safe with those guns.😍😘 by the way, I’m sure your Dad is listening to that song you wrote for him.

Kevin is a captivating story teller. A genuine American.

I’m leading my third Irish Setter into his first field and I know exactly what he’s talking about. God bless all those who know how and protect our environment.

Mr. Kevin Costner I have so much respect for you. Your speech was beautiful and had me in tears laughing. God bless you and your family and thank you for saying that you would continue making westerns❣️❣️❣️ God bless you also for making the western life come back into this computerized mess of a world that we live in. People need to see and understand what it was like because I believe that we are headed back that way in so many ways. God bless herhomesteaders as they find ways to live much like they did back in the western days. Thank you so much for the way you speak. You had me seeing everything you were talking about and in tears laughing at your antics as a kid. We had two horses for my daughter and I love them both and I felt their love for me as well. I am a paraplegic due to MS, but I would get in between both horses (one was six hands and one was a little over five hands tall) but being between those two horses, I felt such peace❣️ they would rest their face, one on each shoulder and just breathe. I never got to ride but my daughter did and that was the most important to me. Some people say horses are just stupid animals. Well, I know for a fact that they are extremely intelligent. How could they not be they are made by God❣️ Mr. Costner. Thank you so much and God bless you. Please stay well and keep speaking. It makes a huge difference ! A very positive difference. I didn’t know you made this beautiful Music! I will be checking that out❣️ Sincerely , Tammy Summerfield, From Central Florida

Loved hearing the deeper meaning behind your life story! Very touching.

Your is such a great speaker. Using truth, facts, humor, logic and about your wonderful life. Such a real man..there are not many these days. Thankyou Kevin for sharing your life. Nancy in Texas

My husband was a hunter and had a collection of pistols, rifles, shotguns. He was a very good shot and prided himself on dropping deer with one well-placed shot. Our freezer was always full of venison, and it was delicious. I so miss those days. Kevin Costner describes those wee hours with him creeping around, trying not to wake me. I would make a big pot of chili for the hunters when they returned, and I would hear of their adventures of the day. Yep, I miss it, always will. Thank you, Mr. Costner.

Humility brings honor and Kevin Costner is such a “CLASS ACT” Every Artists need to study him if they would like to break barriers and telling meaningful stories. So proud to be introduced to him through “The Bodyguard” May his craft, character and conviction continue to shine.

Kevin; You have class and are honest , genuine and Yellowstone won’t be the same without you. Please don’t leave the series; You ARE YELLOWSTONE. Love you and God bless you and your family. Happy Easter

I don’t hunt. Never have. I did some shooting once and I was good but I never thought about killing anything but that speech was interesting and certainly opened my eyes. The bit that affected me the most was the song about the last time. My older brother who is 72 and until recently always looked like a Kevin but lately his health has taken a dive and now he is a frail old man and that song hit the nail on the head for me as it is just how I felt when I last saw my brother who is in the last stages of departing this planet. I’ve liked Kevin as an actor all my adult life and love his songs and his movies and even though I don’t like violence I’ve really enjoyed Yellowstone as it is unpredictable and I like that. Thank you Kevin (even though my chances of you reading this are similar to me winning the lottery and like hunting I don’t participate) thank you for such a moving and interesting speech and being true to who you are. May the Lord bless you richly.

Congratulations Kevin! Your life story is inspiring! Your song brings back memories of the last time singing with my Dad in church. Our bond was through music. I sing and play alone now. I still feel he is with me though, when I play those guitars of ours. Awesome fact you revealed about your Dad’s rifle being in Yellowstone! God bless you!

A great man, a great actor he has a lot of class, he knows how to speak to people. I have always loved him Kevin come back to us, without you yellowstone will no longer have the same meaning, you are Yellowstone

Great actor and real person with a good voice.

That was so good. It was so good to grow up in those days when God, family and country was what mattered most. There is no perfect time in history because there is always good and evil… yet somehow the evil was kept in check more often by good men and women. Praying we can get back to honoring God and family and our Constitution and laws that made this an amazing land to grow up in when I was a kid.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful life story Mr Costner. The world is truely blessed to have honest, down to earth actors such as yourself. A champion by now surely of the 30 30, and an avid supporter of Duck shooting season. You are not only a hero of the 'Orange'..... 'Left and Right.....' but you are our champion of the big and small screens, and an excellent story teller of real life.

Those who laughed weren't listening. Forgive them, Kevin. Your song touched my heart so as it made me grieve my own losses. You are truly a talented man. I remember Disneyland 1950's...was so different. As a Yellowstone fan, I shall be looking for your gun.

He is a rare gem ! Thanks for posting this !

I am louis's wife writing this I loved Kevin's speech it was so full of familiar with my husband. Could have very well been him saying those very same words. I loved it! Thank you Kevin and I have seen all your movies you are great !

What a sweet speech and story about his dad. God bless you Kevin.

Love this man and all the beautiful stories he tells can listen to him speak all day love the voice 💕💕

Kevin is such a wonderful story teller. Wonderful speech. I hope he takes up writing when he is too old to do movies

Impossible to believe... KEVIN COSTNER just keeps getting Better & Better! Such a GENTLEMAN, Sooooo GORGEOUS.

He always has a way of telling a story that keeps us enthralled. It's easy to see why he narrates so many parts of his movies.

What rich fabric you were made from! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. Keep your powder dry.

Have always loved this man… awesome actor and so handsome.. my favorite actor ❤ thank you for sharing!! Your dad would be so proud of you ❤

I fell in awe of Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves, and have not changed my mind at all since that day. What a beautiful legacy he has left for you and me and what an astounding speech. And let’s give Yellowstone through him to the other actors who have made my life a quiet a great bit more tolerable to say the least. I would hate to see him leave Yellowstone, but the actors he would leave behind could carry it on with Grace and I will continue to watch as excited as ever! Thank you all!

You always have amazing speeches Kevin! You are a gifted storyteller and songwriter. Beautiful song! Congratulations!🎉🏆

Wow, I"m floored! Next to Chuck Heston, this is the most endearing speech I've heard from a "Hollywood" celeb in my life (I'm 66 years old) I have a new found appreciation for Keven Costner I never knew I had. Keven, perhaps you'll be the one someday to lead (and fix) the NRA for the rest of us.😀

Beautiful Song Kevin Costner!!!! Very emotional!! What a Wonderful voice you have❤❤❤

Oh my to hear you Kevin tell this story of the guns & hunting!!! I didn't want it to end. & The song that played & to see you sit there listening to it, gave me goosebumps cause we all can imagine what you were thinking . The story was happy & sad but true & it was fun to get a few laughs from ya! Thank you Kevin for sharing with us !!!👍💓✌️

Ok I teared up. It was a great speech and a great song . I love him on Yellowstone and we want him there until the end . He is Yellowstone in my opinion. I hope I can find this song somewhere.

To be a Giant, and yet be so humble .... that comes from never forgetting what it's like to have so little, and it being okay. We thought his story telling was good, until he told his own story. No wonder we have always been enthralled !!

Boys and their Hunting. All you need to understand their joy and passion is right here in this speech. 🇺🇲

Kevin is The Best🩶 Speech brought back many memories. I'm speechless. What a Man 💙🐕🦆

It was one of the best speeches, if not the best I've ever heard. It was an emotional swing for me. It was all fun and sadness in that speech. I felt all the heaviness and longing that Kevin held within himself talking about his parents. Thank you for sharing this video👍

What an amazing man! Amazing actor. Great speech and I loved that song! Thanks for sharing your life with us! ❤

A beautiful description of the traditions surrounding the passion we share. The real important things…we are there for the thrill of the hunt but what gives us more pleasure are the buddies, the dogs, the land, the cabin, the meals, the rituals. It is an American tradition, passed down and nurtured by the ones who really love and care about it. Thanks Kevin Costner.

What an amazing talented guy.. Moving song. They say everyone has a song in them. Wish mine would materialize. Wishing Kevin and his family all the Best. His parents must of been amazing people.

I love you, Kevin! ♥️🌳🌍

Thank you Park Cities Quail! This is a very special speech by a very sincere hunter! He's sharing thoughts and feelings that men rarely share with women. But we know all about them, that's what we think about when all that bumping around starts, on those early, dark mornings. That's when we get up to fill the thermos bottles, and double check to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. I have a very dear friend that I call brother, and he calls me sister. Our friendship has been going on for forty -six years now. He's been bumping around in the dark for years, all alone. Although he's been married several times, he's just recently found someone who starts the bumping around before he gets to it. She fishes, drives the boat, and turkey hunts, but these are skills she has only learned since they married. A while back he was telling me a story about her helping get the boat ready for a fishing trip. And I couldn't help but tell him how great it was that they had met. I said, "you know all these years you were looking for a woman like me, and just didn't know it." He looked at me and smiled, "I guess you're right." So thank you for letting us share some of Mr. Costner's hunting stories! That's the other thing good sporting women do, is listen, understand and laugh at the tales hunters tell!❤

LOVE this man and this GREAT SPEECH!!! Yes we collected stamps and rolled coins….still roll coins. He has FAMILY LOVE! Something you can’t buy with stamps or coins! My husband is an avid hunter every since he was a VERY young boy along with our kids and Grandkids and our up coming youngins !!! They don’t shoot unless they plan on eating it. The companionships that comes out of hunting is PRICELESS!! Love the little tid bit about the 30/30 amazing!!!

Absolutely MARVELOUS..............GREAT ..Thank you for the wonderful history of your life and your parents. I lost my parents years ago ,, They are still with me everyday. i will look for that GUN IN YELLOWSTONE

Mr. Kevin Costner i have and loved every single movie that you have made😊you are a woman's dream, I have cried during those moment's in all the movies I have watched you in Ventura with your band. I have watched your tribute to Whitney Houston and cried you are a true person.. Thank you for sharing your gift of life and family I love this song again I cry and they are all tears of joy.. you make my sad days better.. I can make it, right??? I am 67 now and before my time comes i would hope someday to meet you.. I live in Ventura, CA 🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you again for your amazing gift for telling you stories. Anna Marie🙃

That was one of the best speeches I have ever heard, Kevin, that I could envision you as a little boy and then as a teenager shooting the duck. You are a great story teller and held my interest throughout the whole time. So much talent, so great an actor and a man that works so hard to make all his movies believable and loved. Thank you, Kevin Costner for all the entertainment you have given to the world! ❤

So moving 😮 Fantastic man & speech 🎤. Stellar . Hope we get to see Kevin Costner in concert in Europe

Kevin is a really amazing spirit!

Kevin, you are so genuine, full of love. God bless

I have always loved Kevin. Even more so now. He's a good man.

A song born of love, adventure, a vibrant life, a fathers love… a sons love of a father .. is the greatest story one can sing .. Just beautiful!

That was an awesome speech and makes me like Mr. Costner even more!

Congratulations on all your achievements! Always a pleasure listening to your stories of how you grew up. My favorite actor and love watching Yellowstone series. Hopefully all the issues can be resolved quickly and that you remain on the show as long as it runs. Thanks for all the great movies and series. God Bless you and your family!

Love it esp the end when he said God Bless!!! 🇺🇸🙏🏻

Kevin for president , a real American hero ❤

Omg I love him and I loved the song it was sooooooo beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Kevin has a way with words Loved all his movies God bless❤He has a lovely voice and such a deep man.He loved his family❤

Mad respect! One of the few left to respect in the industry, sadly. He’s a gem.

I’m starting to appreciate that most of the people I most admire came out of nothing. They made themselves. And they are humble. You have to be creative to think you can succeed when you’ve lived a time without much. It forces you to think around those obstacles in your way. Just my thoughts. Mr. Costner’s hunting stories made me think of my sons. I taught them about hunting and that “eat what you kill” rule. They’re grown now and tell stories about when they were younger. It’s safe to say, they didn’t always obey that rule. As their Mom, I knew. I just hoped the guilt would teach them better than I could. It did. I’m pretty proud of all three. Good men.

Wonderful speech. I've always liked Kevin Costner as an actor , but not knowing his background growing up. I'm 53 now. It actually reminds me of myself growing up a little bit in Florida. Didn't know they hunted in California. Thought they were all actors and surfers. I grew up in Florida in the 70'S and 80's? Nevertheless, I can relate. I lost my dad 2 years ago and I loved your song. I live in Spokane, WA now and I will definitely come see Modern West in concert if you are close. Take care in that crazy California life. Respect. Thank You.

Kevin that truly was a wonderful speech. You lifted my spirits.You truly are very gifted with your creative talents. You are one of the few artists that are in your truth & Walk Your Talk. Godbless. Love from England 🇬🇧🇨🇦 xo❤🎉

That's just Beautiful!!!!! Loved Every Minute!!!! Yes, I did.

“It really is about hunting!” 😅Kevin Costner did not disappoint!! Excellent event Park Cities Quail!

I love this man, he is wonderful human being, I enjoyed all his movies, we need to see him always, his calm peaceful face give us positive energy, thank you dear ❤️❤️❤️.

This man is a class act 👍🏻 wouldn’t IT be interesting to see him RUN FOR PRESIDENT !

What a wonderful speech, and moving song !!!!! Reminds me of my last dsys with my Dad. ❤❤❤❤

He gives the best speeches ever ❤❤❤

I love this song! I've been listening to it every day for months! ❤

❤❤have loved Kevin ever since Dances with Wolves and follow all his work. Very unique man. Be a dream to meet him face to face.

Thank you Kevin my name is Vic I've been there you have really made a difference more people really need to realize how important life is as soon as I watched this video I sent it to both of my sons thank you God bless you

Your song touched my heart. I cried because I miss my Mom and my Dad. 😢

When you took your father on his last hunt and he (rolled) four birds, we in northern Minnesota call that ground swatting! And for elderly people that is definitely O.K.😅

I AM YOUR FANS AND I ALWAYS FOLLOW YOU. YOUR FILMS ARE INTERESTING AND YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR VOICE WONDERFUL. GOD BLESS YOUR FANS FROM HAVANA CUBA. CONCHITA

Now that’s a real man ! One of the good guys !👍🏼👍🏼

Another great song from Kevin and Modern West❤ saw you perform in St Augustine Florida ❤ I love your music and movies❤
