Luke Grimes Lied To His Family So They’d Stop Bugging Him About Yellowstone

Yellowstone has dominated the media this week with its long-awaited return.

You have read about Kevin Costner’s John Dutton’s death, fan and critic responses, a full episode recap, and the actors’ thoughts on the season.

We have another story involving the Sheridan universe. This one is hopefully more lighthearted than the other coverage you have read around this season.

Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton on the show, recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

While on the show, he revealed how he had successfully kept his fate in the final season of Yellowstone a secret.

Luke Grimes Talks His Yellowstone Fate

Before we share the humorous way that Grimes protected his character’s ending from being disclosed, what does he think about Kayce Dutton’s conclusion in this final season?

Jimmy Fallon tried to get a spoiler from Grimes and asked him, “What’s going on with your character? Are you happy with the way Kayce Dutton ends?”

Grimes responded:

“I am, man. I think it’s perfect.” He continued,“Taylor knew the end from the very beginning.”

The actor went on to share that Taylor Sheridan, the writer of Yellowstone, knew all along what would happen to Kayce Dutton. This is interesting because the season had to change after it was learned that Kevin Costner would not return. This suggests that Kayce Dutton receives his originally intended ending.

Now, How Did Grimes Keep It A Secret?

Yellowstone has gone to extreme lengths to avoid this season getting spoiled. Everything was hush-hush; even the actors did not know their characters’ endings until they filmed it.

Once it was filmed, however, the actors had to find a way to keep it a secret from the public. Grimes took an interesting route.

When Grimes was asked how he keeps the ending a secret from his family and friends, he said:

“All I have to say is that I signed an NDA, even if I didn’t. And everyone leaves me alone.”

Genius!

Grimes further revealed that he, in fact, has not signed an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). After he revealed that fact, he jokingly said, “I think I screwed that up for myself.”
