Nice guy Kevin Costner finds his bad side in his latest movie Criminal

KEVIN Costner is having trouble hearing. “I play a lot of rock and roll. You’ll have to speak up,” explains the California native in what can only be described as a cowboy twang.

The Hollywood veteran, who sings and plays lead guitar with the country rock band Kevin Costner & Modern West, might be a little hard of hearing but he’s looking well, easily 10 years younger than his 61 years.

Since his breakthrough role in 1987 gangster movie The Untouchables, he’s carved a reputation for playing all-American guys. But for his latest movie Criminal, Costner’s finally been cast against type, as the psychopathic prisoner Jericho Stewart.
