Hollywood legend Kevin Costner has taken a break from filming in Queensland to watch an AFL match.
The Yellowstone star was spotted in the stands at the Gabba as Brisbane hosted Carlton on Friday night.
AFL commentator Brian Taylor was stunned to see the A-lister standing in a box with his entourage as the game kicked off.
‘There’s Kevin Costner. A bit of Hollywood royalty there. It doesn’t get much bigger than Kevin Costner,’ Taylor said.
Aussies online made light of Costner’s visit to the Gabba, with many commenting ‘if you build it, he will come’ in reference to his baseball movie Field of Dreams.
‘Maybe he knows how to get a free kick against Brisbane at the Gabba?’ another Aussie said.

Costner has been in Australia filming the dramedy Honeymoon With Harry, which also features superstar Jake Gyllenhaal and Sarah Pidgeon, who recently starred in Love Story, playing Carolyn Bessette.
Honeymoon With Harry follows a man, played by Gyllenhaal, who bonds with his fiancée’s protective father, played by Costner, during an unintended trip.
Costner has been making the most of his time in the Sunshine State.
Earlier this week, the Oscar winner was spotted at lunch with two friends at the exclusive Sails restaurant, overlooking Noosa Main Beach.
When fans stopped him for a selfie, Costner was happy to chat.
Last weekend, Kayla Boyd, influencer and wife of former NRL star Darius Boyd, ran into Costner and snapped a photo with him.
‘Just a casual Saturday night with our mate Kev. Kind, humble – an absolute gentleman,’ she wrote.
Costner, 71, has also been seen visiting the SK Steak and Oyster restaurant in Fortitude Valley.
He watched the Lions defeat the Blues 100-89.
