In an unexpected turn of events that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, legendary actor Kevin Costner has pulled out of a multi-million-dollar project with Robert De Niro, citing concerns about De Niro’s “creepy” behavior. The $100 million deal, which was set to be one of the most ambitious films of the year, has now been left in jeopardy as Costner publicly distanced himself from his co-star and the project.

Sources close to the production have confirmed that the deal, which involved both Costner and De Niro in leading roles, has now officially fallen apart. While no official reason was given at first, whispers around Hollywood quickly pointed to the tense dynamic between the two stars. Costner, known for his roles in Dances with Wolves and The Bodyguard, was reportedly uncomfortable with De Niro’s approach to the project, specifically his alleged “unprofessional” behavior on set.

“Kevin was really uncomfortable with Robert,” a source revealed. “He felt that De Niro’s approach to the film was completely out of touch with the times. They just couldn’t see eye to eye on many things, from script choices to production methods. But what really pushed him over the edge was Robert’s attitude off-screen. He called him ‘creepy,’ and that was the final straw.”

In a candid interview with Hollywood Insider, Kevin Costner did not hold back. When asked why he walked away from the project, he stated, “I’ve worked with some of the best in the industry, but Robert’s behavior was something else. It wasn’t just about his style of acting; it was his general demeanor. It got to the point where I couldn’t look past it. He’s creepy, and I don’t want to be associated with that kind of energy.”

Costner did not go into specifics but hinted that De Niro’s actions off-set were “unsettling” and “a bit much for him to handle.” His comments have sent a wave of shock throughout Hollywood, with many questioning the future of the film and De Niro’s reputation.

The fallout from the film’s cancellation has been further complicated by accusations that Robert De Niro’s political views played a role in the project’s collapse. Costner, who is known for his more conservative stance on many issues, reportedly found De Niro’s “woke” attitudes increasingly difficult to work with. The two stars are said to have clashed over their differing perspectives on Hollywood’s growing focus on social justice issues and political correctness.

“Kevin is a man who believes in artistic freedom, but he’s also a realist,” another insider shared. “De Niro’s increasingly vocal support of woke agendas and his out-of-touch approach to storytelling were causing tension. It’s no secret that Costner has always been about staying true to the story, and Robert’s insistence on using the film to push political narratives just didn’t sit well with him.”

So far, Robert De Niro has remained silent about Costner’s accusations. Known for his intense privacy, De Niro has not made a public statement on why the project fell apart or addressed the claims of his “creepy” behavior. Industry insiders are curious to see how De Niro will respond to Costner’s bold comments, especially since both actors have long been considered icons in Hollywood.

Some believe that De Niro’s silence may be part of a calculated strategy to avoid further controversy, while others speculate that he may retaliate with a statement of his own, potentially escalating the drama even further.

This shocking turn of events has left many wondering about the future of Hollywood’s star-driven films. With the $100 million project now in limbo, producers are scrambling to find a new lead actor to replace Costner. There are also concerns about the broader implications for future collaborations between established stars in the industry, with many wondering if the growing divide between traditional Hollywood and the “woke” movement will continue to create tension.

“Hollywood is changing, and I get it,” Costner said in his interview. “But there’s a line, and when someone crosses it, you have to stand your ground. This project just wasn’t right for me anymore.”

While the specifics of the film’s future remain unclear, it’s undeniable that Costner’s bold decision to walk away from the project has caused a major ripple in Hollywood. Whether this will be a defining moment in the battle between the old guard and the new wave of social activism remains to be seen.

As for Costner, it seems that he’s made it clear: when it comes to his career, he’s not willing to compromise—especially when it means aligning himself with the “creepy” behavior of a co-star.
