“Yellowstone” star Kelly Reilly blocks out the noise surrounding the strong fan base the hit Western attracts, and the chaos in Hollywood.Reilly shared her thoughts on the cultural impact and allure that “Yellowstone” has had since its debut in 2018.“I don’t participate in the noise in any way.I stay out of it.
The only safe place for me is in the work – and then home with my husband.Very boring,” Reilly revealed to Town & Country magazine.“It can become a cyclone of bulls— and fakeness, and I know I won’t find my worth in that,” she continued.Prior to landing the role as Beth Dutton, John Dutton’s strong and forceful daughter, Reilly was packing up her life in New York City with her husband Kyle Baugher in 2017 and moving to the English countryside.“I have always loved my job, but the business can sometimes present challenges that I didn’t feel I was cut out for,” Reilly said.
“I just wanted to go back to theater and do two or three plays a year, and live quietly.That didn’t feel like a second prize.
It felt like a choice, the life I wanted to have.”Then, Reilly was sent the script for “Yellowstone.”“I remember reading it as I was packing up our apartment and thinking, Oh, s—.It was like laying down a bit of a gauntlet.
The challenge of it pepped my interest,” she said.Reilly hopped on a call with the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, and was given the role immediately.“I didn’t even audition,” she recalled.“Then I was like, ‘F—, I didn’t audition.’ I was terrified, because I didn’t know how I was going to do it.
And it took me a minute to find her.”Playing such a strong role never worried Reilly, she was focused on trying to portray Beth’s complexities with the world.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
