Although Yellowstone wrapped up its run last year, Kevin Costner is still grabbing the attention of fans after a simple but highly relatable moment involving Cher during the Saturday Night Live (SNL) 50th anniversary special.

Packed with nostalgic throwbacks and unforgettable performances, the SNL 50th anniversary special, was a night to remember.

During the star-studded February 16 event at Radio City Music Hall, musical icons like Cher, Paul McCartney, Miley Cyrus, and Paul Simon took the stage. Hollywood A-listers, including Steve Martin, Meryl Streep, Pedro Pascal, and former SNL cast members like Tina Fey and Eddie Murphy, also made special appearances.

Yet, amidst all the glitz and glamour, it was Kevin Costner’s reaction to Cher that stole the spotlight, reminding everyone that even the biggest stars can still get starstruck.

Cher turns back time

The 78-year-old superstar stepped on stage with her signature look – a jaw-dropping sheer black bodysuit, leather jacket, and thigh-high boots – and set the internet on fire with her performance of 1989’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.”

Gushing over Cher’s timeless beauty, fans jumped into the comments section of the Instagram post shared by SNL, expressing their admiration.

One online fan writes, “She’s phenomenal. I can’t believe she’s 78. Truly the only woman who can get away with this outfit and no one make fun of her.”

A second shares, “Cher, can I borrow your time machine…” while a third writes, “Everybody’s jaws on the floor.”

Another adds, “Cher HAS turned back time! She’s almost 80! How does she look so awesome?!”

Priceless expression

While the “Believe” singer owned the stage with her timeless talents, it was one adorable moment from Costner, 70, that sparked conversation on social media.

While Cher was singing, the camera panned to the audience and captured Costner, who was holding the back of his head with his hands, and a subtle, admiring smile sweeping his face.

The Dances with Wolves star looked completely mesmerized.

As soon as the video surfaced online, fans flooded the internet with their reactions. Many couldn’t help but comment on how Costner’s expression perfectly summed up the collective feeling of everyone watching Cher’s performance.

“Every human in the room was in awe of her…Kevin proves that,” writes one online user.

“Kevin Costner looking at Cher like that is the energy I need in my life!” shares a second, while a third writes, “The way Kevin Costner admires Cher… same, buddy. Same.”

Another offers, “Find someone who looks at you the way Costner looks at Cher!”

People reports that two days after her live performance, the Waterworld star was spotted sitting next to Cher at SNL50: The Anniversary Special.

Kevin Costner’s viral SNL moment proves that some things never change – Cher is still a queen, and Costner is still effortlessly charming.
