Kevin Costner Shares His Deep Love for Storytelling
Kevin Costner Shares Rare Insight into the Power of Storytelling During Christmas Special
Kevin Costner recently offered rare and heartfelt reflections on the transformative power of storytelling while discussing his latest Christmas special. The acclaimed actor spoke about how stories can shape lives both on and off the screen.
“I believe storytelling can be healing. It can inform us. It can remind us of the people we aspire to be,” Costner shared.
He went on to explain how even the smallest moments of heroism portrayed in films can leave a lasting impression on audiences.
“Often, we witness great acts of courage on screen, sometimes in very subtle ways. When we see them, we recognize them, and we think to ourselves, that’s who I want to be,” he said.
Costner also reflected on how movies can inspire people to express thoughts or emotions they may have once held back.
“We understand what the opposite looks like. But sometimes films show us words we wish we had spoken—and remind us that we still can,” he added.
Speaking about his return to the screen in the holiday special, Costner opened up about the personal meaning behind the project.
“This is the first Christmas—the birth of Christ. I was raised in the church,” he said. “So whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about the true story behind Christmas traditions, I invite you to take that journey with me.”
