Kevin Costner wants to 'join the ranks' of slim celebs now that he's ready to date
At 70, the actor is looking to shed the pounds and revive his confidence as he reenters the dating scene. Insiders say Kevin Costner is focused on getting fit by summer.
“He’s seen all the hot-looking slim celebs and wants to join the ranks, especially now that he’s single and ready to date,” an insider told RadarOnline.
The source added that Costner has a bit more work to do before he can keep up with the other eligible bachelors around Montecito.
“Kevin’s determined not to turn into a fat guy. It kind of snuck up on him — too many three-course lunches and snacks, he realizes now,” the tipster further shared.

The publication reported, citing the insider, that the 'Yellowstone' actor was able to lose some "unwanted pounds" before, too, although that time it was easy, and Costner is ready to take a step ahead if it doesn't come off easily, this time.
"If it doesn’t come off easy, well, he’ll look into some other form of weight-loss method like Ozempic. He’s vowing he’ll be trim by summer,” the tipster noted.
Physician says Kevin Costner 'still has a big belly' and weighs close to 200 pounds
Dr Gabe Mirkin, who has not treated Kevin Costner, analyzed photos of the actor taken several weeks apart and weighed in on his situation.
“I believe that he still weighs close to 200 pounds, and he still has a big belly,” Dr Mirkin told RadarOnline.
The doctor claims it was a signal that he's not cleared of fat from his liver, increasing his "susceptibility" to diabetes, heart attack, and stroke.
Meanwhile, Costner has already taken other steps to appear fresh.
These include "hair plugs, Botox, and fillers" for getting back into the "dating scene, so losing the gut should be a cinch," said the insider.
