Since the show ended, Grimes has waxed lyrical about the changes Costner’s departure made to the filming process.
Last week, Lucas revealed that filming without the two-time Oscar winner made things much easier for him and the rest of the cast.
“Hopefully everyone can see that it’s about time,” Luke said of Kevin’s departure from the neo-Western drama. “To be honest, there was a part of Kevin’s disappearance that meant that part of the conflict was gone.”
He continued, “Obviously, it wasn’t a lot of fun to be around…Not pointing fingers, but it was actually the easiest season we’ve ever filmed.”
he went later asked about Men’s health if they are still in contact, to which he replied: ‘No, I haven’t spoken to him since. It’s not a case of hard feelings or anything like that; “It’s just that he’s Kevin Costner,” he said, laughing.
‘He’s a big problem. I have his phone number, but I don’t think it’s my place to contact him. “You can contact me if you want,” Luke continued.
Luke added to Men’s Health that “none of us saw it coming the way it did, and obviously there was news about possible explosions behind the scenes or whatever.” But, as in life, these things happen, they happen fast and they are not predictable.
Adding: ‘I lost my father a few years ago. It happened fast and it wasn’t the way you would think it would happen. In life, these things happen and then people have to start making decisions.’

Luke noted, “And in our little world of Yellowstone, that helped bring the show to a boil.”
Previously, Luke reminded viewers that it was “always the plan” for John to die.

“I think they feel somewhat cheated. And what I would say is I think we were all lucky to have Kevin on the show for so long,” Luke said.
He also added that the original plan was to kill off John Dutton much earlier in the story.
‘I think he was originally supposed to die much earlier. So in a way, they got a lot more out of John Dutton than they were originally going to get. “I would keep that in mind,” Luke added.
‘If it happened so shockingly and quickly, that’s how life works, right?’ “I mean, when you lose people, sometimes it’s not how you planned it or when you think it’s going to be,” he continued.
Kevin revealed in June that when Sheridan approached him about the show, his character would only be around for one season.
“When Taylor (Sheridan) first proposed it to me, it was one season and (like) a long movie, that speaks my language… but in the end, I think what happened was that the studio didn’t want that.” Costner said.
Men’s Health asked Luke, 40, if they were still in touch, to which he replied: “No, I haven’t spoken to him since.” It’s not a case of hard feelings or anything like that; “It’s just that he’s Kevin Costner,” he said, laughing.
