Luke Wilson recently opened up about how Kevin Costner casted him in his latest film Horizon.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Wilson shared how a Zoom meeting with Costner turned into a surprising job offer.
Wilson revealed that the meeting took place while he was in New Jersey and Costner was filming Horizon in Utah.
Wilson initially thought it was a standard job interview, unsure if he had secured the role of Matthew Van Weyden.
"He said, ‘Well, I hope you'll want to come work with me.’ And I was just kind of sitting there. I thought, ‘Shoot, this guy just offered me the job!’" Wilson recalled.
He added, "That completely threw me off. And I just muttered, ‘Oh. Hell yeah, hell yeah.’ That's how I got started on it."
The actor also shared that his work with Costner " is different from stuff I've done before," adding, "I've done dramas and done a couple low budget Westerns and one comedic western with Adam Sandler, But yeah, I certainly had never done anything like this."
