Kevin Costner turned out to be a Barbie fan, as he recited dialogue from the film at the Golden Globes 2024, held at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, on Sunday.
The Yellowstone star, 68, was one of the presenter’s at the glitzy event alongside Barbie star America Ferrera, 39.
After she paid him a compliment by saying she was a fan of his film The Bodyguard, and quoted an iconic scene, Kevin followed up by reciting her Barbie monologue.
‘You know, it’s literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough,’ he quoted her, adding, ‘That was pretty good.’
A stunned Ferrera replied: ‘Did you, Kevin Costner, memorize my monologue about womanhood from Barbie?’ she asked, to which he hilariously replied, ‘No.’

He went on: ‘But it’s an important message, really… and it always serves to remind me what’s possible in film.’
‘It just reminds me that when we take our time, when we manage to get it right, when film is working at its very best it can be about moments you never, ever forget… you just had one of those moments.’
Ferrera plays Gloria in the film. She helps Margot Robbie’s character navigate the ‘real world.’
The movie has picked up a total of nine award nominations at the 2024 ceremony.
The film has grossed $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office and became the top grossing film of 2023 and the highest-grossing film in Warner Bros.’ history.
Costner and Ferrera presented the award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series to The Bear star, Ayo Edebiri, and the award Best Actor in a Drama TV Series to Succession star Kieran Culkin.
Costner looked dashing at the event in a black tuxedo and bowtie. He teamed the outfit with a watch and sunglasses.
Meanwhile Ferrera stunned in a silver form-hugging gown with floral details.
Costner attended the show without his new girlfriend, singer Jewel, 49, with whom he reportedly spent New Year’s.
Jewel shared an image to Instagram last week that was from an event that took place at the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, Colorado.

Costner was seen in Colorado as well, in nearby Aspen, suggesting the two spent New Year’s together in the snowy state.
The crooner looked chic in a colorful outfit as she flashed a gold ring on her wedding finger.
The bauble may have been a Christmas gift from the actor whom she has been dating for the past few months.
The songbird and the actor were spotted getting tactile at Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands over the Thanksgiving weekend in November.
The good times come after Costner finalized his divorce from his wife of 19 years Christine Baumgartner.
In October Costner and Baumgartner’s very bitter divorce met an end as the two sides settled with the prenup enforced and a massive monetary penalty if it is challenged.
A joint statement from Costner and Baumgartner provided to DailyMail.com read: ‘Kevin and Christine Costner have come to an amicable and mutually agreed upon resolution of all issues pertaining to their divorce proceedings.’

The 2021 report found that there were no black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which votes on the awards.
Stars and studios boycotted the Globes and NBC refused to air it in 2022 as a result.
After the group added journalists of color to its ranks and instituted other reforms to address ethical concerns, the show came back in January 2023 in a one-year probationary agreement with NBC. The network did not opt to renew.
In June, billionaire Todd Boehly was granted approval to dissolve the HFPA and reinvent the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization.
Its assets were acquired by Boehly’s Eldridge Industries, along with Dick Clark Productions, a group that is owned by Penske Media whose assets also include Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and Billboard.
In mid-November, CBS announced that it would air the ceremony on the network on Jan. 7. It will also stream on Paramount+.
The group nominating and voting for the awards is now made up of a more diverse group of over 300 people from around the world.
