It is considerably frequent for actors to maintain tokens or mementos from their numerous roles (Christopher Walken is apparently notorious for stealing wardrobe items), and sometimes they’re at the very least given one thing by the manufacturing crew to mark their time on a present or film. Mark Hamill saved not solely his fangs however a fairly cool dagger from his appearance on “What We Do in the Shadows,” Cate Blanchett saved her ears from “The Lord of the Rings” — it is an end-of-production custom. So when the favored Paramount+ collection “Yellowstone” got here to an finish, actor Luke Grimes, who portrays rancher John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) son Kayce, was in a position to maintain a bit piece of the “Yellowstone” set.
In an interview with Variety, Grimes revealed that he acquired to maintain one main behind-the-scenes piece of “Yellowstone” historical past, and that he had hopes to get to maintain just a few extra. Hey — if it does not work out, he might all the time pull a Walken and simply “borrow” them completely.
Grimes saved the again of his forged chair, and needs Kayce’s jacket as nicely
When requested by Selection if he saved something as a memento from his time on “Yellowstone,” Grimes defined that they had been nonetheless within the technique of getting every thing sorted after filming lastly wrapped:
“They gave me the again of my forged chair, these administrators chairs which have your title. So I’ve had the identical one because the very first season. After which I am listening to that I will get to maintain a pair items of wardrobe. I am hoping that is true. The jacket I put on in that present is fairly legendary to me. I really wish to body it and put it in my workplace. It is symbolic, prefer it began off very clear and our fingers acquired very soiled and it went by the ringer and made it to the tip. So I feel I might like to maintain that for good.”
The second half of the fifth and final season will hit Paramount+ this November (2024), so there’s nonetheless loads of time for Grimes to get his jacket. It feels like they saved the identical jacket over the course of the collection in an effort to preserve continuity, which is fairly neat. It is a bit like “It is All the time Sunny in Philadelphia” star Charlie Day carrying the identical pair of Vans sneakers for at the very least 12 seasons of the long-running collection — although the “Yellowstone” jacket might be in significantly better form than Day’s footwear.
Saying goodbye to Grimes and Kayce Dutton
Sequence showrunner Taylor Sheridan and the parents at Paramount+ have gone to excessive lengths to forestall folks from discovering out the plot details surrounding the end of “Yellowstone.” The excellent news is that Grimes promises that it will be “surprising,” however that “everybody will probably be glad,” as a result of he feels that it’s the good ending. That is nice information for followers of the extraordinary household drama on the heart of this collection a couple of highly effective rancher, and it would even encourage new audiences to strive the present in the event that they know the ending is not a complete bust. (Critically, there are many folks on the market who watch for reveals to complete in an effort to be certain they do not find yourself with a “Recreation of Thrones” or a “True Blood” state of affairs, the place issues begin robust after which go horribly, frustratingly fallacious.)
It will likely be unhappy to say goodbye to Kayce and the remainder of the Dutton clan, however at the very least Grimes will all the time have a bit piece of the “Yellowstone” set to recollect it by. And hopefully he’ll get to border his dirty jacket.
