‘Yellowstone’ Creator Taylor Sheridan Crashes ‘1923’ Star Timothy Dalton’s ET Interview (Exclusive)

It was a lovefest at the 1923 premiere in Las Vegas over the weekend, which saw Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and the ensemble celebrating the launch of the Yellowstone prequel in style! ET’s Cassie DiLaura spoke with the cast of the anticipated Paramount+ series, where series creator Taylor Sheridan crashed the interview with James Bond himself, Timothy Dalton, who plays the powerful Donald Whitfield.

“It’s Bond, it’s James Bond,” Sheridan, who oversees the Yellowstone franchise, said to Dalton on the red carpet as he approached the interview midway through. The mastermind behind the Dutton family wasted no time singing Dalton’s praises for believing in him and 1923 when there wasn’t even a word written on paper.

“Look, what an honor to have this man be a part of this,” Sheridan told ET. “When I called him, I called him from a ranch in Wyoming… and he said, ‘Taylor what are you asking me to do? There’s no script, there’s nothing.’ I said, ‘You just gotta trust me,’ which I guess is not a British thing to do, but he did and his work is special and I’m honored to have him a part of it. And I can’t wait for him to see what he does because it’s rare. It’s really rare and its beautiful and it’s tough to watch.”

Dalton returned the favor, crediting Sheridan for dreaming up an entire universe that’s, in turn, caught the attention of millions of viewers.

“There’s a reason why these shows are so good, and you all are here in fact,” the British actor said, saying that anything Sheridan touches is “better than” gold because his work “is truly remarkable.”
