The holiday season is right around the corner, which means the Christmas trees are up, the stockings have been hung, gifts have been wrapped, and most everyone is in a joyful mood recalling their favourite holiday memories, except for the ‘Grinch’, of course. And now, in a very ‘Hollywood-sy’ manner, Kevin Costner has also reflected on what the holiday season means for him and how important faith has been in his life.
Kevin Costner recalls his ‘First Christmas’
Before Kevin Costner rode into the sunset in Yellowstone and earned two Oscars for Dances with Wolves, he slept in a camper on Sunset Boulevard while dreaming of Hollywood fame, the seed of which was planted in him at church when he was a young man. The actor has reflected on this during his ABC special, Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas. He recalls the first Christmas he remembers and stated:
“I think I was about 4 years old when I was selected to be a shepherd in our church’s yearly production of the Nativity. It would be my acting debut, and I would have one line, ‘Hark!'”
