It seems that actor Kevin Costner's left ear has caught the attention of fans recently. Speculation has been swirling about what might have happened, with rumors of ear surgery due to cancer circulating. However, the truth remains unclear, as Costner has yet to issue an official statement regarding the matter.
During the 2021 episodes of the TV series Yellowstone, where Costner portrayed the character of John Dutton, fans noticed an unusual scar on the front and back of his left ear, as well as some distortion. Concerns about the actor's health started to arise, leading to questions from fans on social media.
One concerned fan took to Twitter to ask about Costner's ear, and others chimed in, saying they had noticed the same thing. Some even pointed out that the actor appeared to have covered the missing part of his ear with a prosthetic or patch during the 2022 Oscars.
The sudden appearance of the alleged distortion in Costner's ear surprised many, as it had never been noticed before and did not seem to have gradually developed over time. Furthermore, none of his previous pictures online showed any sign of it. This led to a flurry of rumors about Costner's health, with no official confirmation or denial from the actor himself.
Various theories have emerged regarding what might have happened to Costner's ear. Some suggest he had undergone ear surgery, while others speculate he may have had an accident that caused the changes in his ear and teeth. However, all of these explanations are unfounded.
In reality, the scar seen in a picture of Costner is makeup from his movie Criminal. The image captures a scene from the movie set in Surrey, England, in 2014, where Costner filmed re-shoots for a crash scene. The wounds depicted were a result of the crash scene, not ear surgery.
As for the rumors of cancer, there is no evidence to support such claims. While Costner has not addressed the rumors directly, it is worth noting that he is approaching his 70s, a time when health challenges can arise. Nevertheless, Costner maintains a healthy lifestyle and follows a nutritious diet to stay fit.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Costner has chosen to remain silent on the matter, leaving fans to wonder about the truth. Ultimately, it is our hope that the legendary actor will address the rumors and provide clarity. Until then, it is best to assume that he is in good health and that the rumors are unsubstantiated. After all, no one has compared his ear in real life.
