I’ve been a Kevin Costner fan since I met him aged 6 – I was stunned when I ran into him 20 years later
A KEVIN Costner fan was reunited with the film star — nearly 20 years after he first met him as a boy.
Jason Carroll, 25, ran into the Hollywood icon this week outside a Glasgow hotel.
The Untouchables star, 68, is staying at the Blythswood Square Hotel on a “perfect” trip to score a film in the city.
Jason, from Maryhill, was working on a nearby building on Monday when he saw Costner walking along the street with Scots actor David O’Hara, 58.
The joiner told The Scottish Sun: “It was a bit mental. He [Costner] just turned the corner.
“He’s not changed a lot. His hair has greyed and he’s got more of a tan now.”
Jason first met Costner at St Andrews, Fife, in 2004 when he was just six.
The golf-daft double Oscar winner was staying at the Old Course Hotel on his honeymoon after tying the knot with now ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, 49.
Jason, who had his picture taken with his hero as the couple played a round, added: “I really liked The Bodyguard. It was a brilliant movie and my dad brought me up showing me a lot of films.
“Kevin’s a great actor and a really nice guy too.”
On Monday we revealed the star almost got hit by a bus while out and about in the city.
The Yellowstone actor was stopped from crossing West George Street as the bus turned the corner.
The Bodyguard star – who appeared alongside Whitney Houston in the 1992 hit – is believed to be in Scotland working on a new project.
He heaped praise on Glasgow when asked about his time in the city.
When asked how his stay in Glasgow has been, the A-lister said: “It’s been perfect for me.”
