The day Clint Eastwood gave Kevin Costner a lesson in humility on the set of ‘A Perfect World’
In 1993, the director, known for making quick shoots and recording scenes in a few takes, replaced the actor with his double by making him wait with the cameras ready.
Clint Eastwood (California, 96 years old) and Kevin Costner (California, 71 years old) were already two film legends when they shared the screen in the 1990s —a collaboration that has occurred on only one occasion—. Together they recorded A Perfect World (1993), a film also directed by Eastwood, who is characterized by making quick and effective shoots, without going over budget and respecting the production schedule.
But the director did not expect Costner to be an obstacle to maintaining his directing style, which consists of filming scenes in one or two takes. The actor had just starred in and directed Dances with Wolves, an overwhelming success that increased his fame, but also his ego. So, in the middle of filming, Eastwood did not hesitate to give him a lesson in humility and replace one of the stars of his film in a scene.
