Costner and Baldwin in multi-million courtroom battle
A lawyer for Kevin Costner told a court his fame was the only reason fellow Hollywood actor Stephen Baldwin and another person were suing him over their investments in an oil clean-up device tried out after BP’s spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Baldwin and his friend Spyridon Contogouris claim Costner and business partner Patrick Smith duped them out of their shares of an $18m deal for BP to buy oil-separating centrifuges after the April 2010 spill.
