For probably the most half, Kelly Reilly is nothing like Beth Dutton. Initially, she’s British and never from Montana. Secondly, she clearly doesn’t possess the violent tendencies her Yellowstone character so typically reveals off. Additionally, not like Beth, the actress just isn’t a smoker, amongst different issues. Nonetheless, there are some components of this iconic character that the performer behind her can relate to, and she or he lately revealed a enjoyable one.
As the ultimate episodes of Yellowstone have been airing final yr and hypothesis concerning the Rip and Beth spinoff began to actually flow into, Kelly Reilly spoke with Good Housekeeping about her character and what it’s like engaged on the fashionable Western. That included her reflecting on the years she’s performed the Dutton sibling and what she has in widespread together with her. Whereas it isn’t a lot, when requested about Beth’s American West fashion, Reilly did clarify her love for it and the philosophy that comes with it, saying:
I am not the antithesis [of Beth], however I definitely assume for me, it is extra a couple of feeling than accessorizing. The spirit of the West — the concept of a land that was fought for, and we’re making an attempt to guard and steward — I believe that is one thing everybody can perceive. There’s one thing concerning the romance of the West, the hazard of the West, the wonder and magnificence of this a part of America. As somebody from South London, it actually takes my breath away.
Now, whereas I extremely doubt Reilly would do one thing like beat Jamie to a pulp to avoid wasting the ranch, her mentality relating to understanding the worth of the land you fought for and possession of it appears just like Beth’s. She additionally loves the romance and hazard of the West, which is one thing her character can get behind too, contemplating how deeply she appeared to each admire and problem her dad’s mission to maintain all the things.
Talking extra on to fashion, I can verify that Reilly loves a sample, very similar to Beth. After I interviewed the forged of Yellowstone for Season 5B, I wore a cheetah print skirt that the actress complimented after I walked in. I then famous that I had worn it due to her character, and she or he advised me they actually do each love a daring sample. Throughout that interview, she and Cole Hauser additionally each commented on how attractive they discover Montana and the way a lot they like it there.
That each one interprets to fashion too, as Reilly additionally defined how she appreciates the American West fashion from each a sensible and philosophical standpoint:
I do have a cowboy hat, however I do not stroll round in cowboy boots — until I am using a horse. It has to have a sensible factor for me. It is concerning the feeling, the power in that spirit, the dignity and satisfaction of this a part of the world that I actually discover stunning.
General, I believe it is a very enjoyable and significant trait that Kelly Reilly shares with Beth, and I hope we’re in a position to see extra of it in her upcoming Yellowstone present. It’s clear that she has a deep appreciation for the American West trend in addition to philosophy, and I’m certain that might be exemplified extra the subsequent time she performs Beth Dutton.
For now, to return and see Reilly play her legendary character – who’s not like her in most methods – you’ll be able to stream Yellowstone with a Peacock subscription.
