Yellowstone’s Cole Hauser on ‘Hands-On’ Older Fans

Actor Cole Hauser of Yellowstone fame is detailing the wild interactions he’s had with one particular group of fans.

The 50-year-old star — whose father Wings Hauser died in March — opened up about enthusiastic older women who get handsy with him.

‘I’ve had some old women grab my a**,’ he told Page Six at a recent Arlington, Texas tasting for his brand Lazy K Bar Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

He added about the interactions, ‘It’s been a little bit… a little bit strange.’

Cole, who played Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone, said: ‘But for the most part of it, everyone’s been very respectful, but I think when the older ladies get a few drinks in them, they get a little aggressive.’

Following the series finale in December 2024, the Hollywood hunk has started filming an unnamed spinoff in North Texas.

Joining him in the forthcoming new show are his former Yellowstone co-star Kelly Reilly and newcomer Annette Bening.

Kelly will revive her character Beth Dutton, who is wife to Cole’s Rip.

The actor told Page Six that his on-screen relationship with Kelly has been the most impactful. 

‘The love that they have for each other. The amount of just loyalty, the honor, the friendship they have on camera — and I have that with Kelly, as well,’ he described.

In his real life, Cole has been married to wife Cynthia Daniel since 2006.

He said about his on-screen wife, ‘She’s an amazing woman, more importantly than a great actress, and we’ve just had a blast playing these two characters and really pushing the envelope as far as creativity together. 

‘So, I’m just proud of that relationship with her.’

The multihyphenate talked up his bourbon brand, explaining what makes his variety different from the others on the market.

‘I think celebrities typically — not all of them — they will put their face on a brand, whether it’s vodka or tequila or bourbon, and there’s no real history,’ he shared.

He emphasized, ‘So this has tremendous history and also, more importantly, I spent a lot of time kind of finessing the juice that’s in the bottle.

‘I spent a lot of time with the bourbon maker to make sure that I liked it the way I wanted it.’

Cole has roots in one of the founding families of Hollywood, as his mother Cass Warner was the granddaughter of Harry Warner — one of the four Warner Bros. founders. 

His dad, Wings, also got into acting in the late 70s after previously working as a musician. But the late entertainer was absent from his childhood.
