From On-Screen Intensity to Real-Life Disputes
Renowned for his work on the iconic series Yellowstone and Oscar-nominated film Hell or High Water, Taylor Sheridan's passion for his craft remains par-less. Sheridan's unique talent as a writer and his ability to create new worlds are not just seen in his scripts. His physical capability matches his keen intellect, something actor Cole Hauser can attest to firsthand.
Sheridan & Hauser: Two Stars at Loggerheads
Not only did the two stars knew each other prior to joining Yellowstone, but they also came to admire the other's contribution to the industry. However, when disagreements arose, they found their fists were quicker to resolution than their words.
In an interview with Men's Journal, Hauser expressed his beliefs about conflict resolution. When tired of words, he prefers to resolve the issue through a physical fight, followed by sharing a drink and moving on. This approach, while uncommon in the world of Hollywood, adds more credibility to Hauser's portrayal of the gritty character of Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone.
Logo Wars Trigger Legal Battle
Beyond the set of Yellowstone, however, the duo finds themselves embroiled in a real-life confrontation. This time, the battlefield is not the rolling prairies, but the sterile interiors of a courtroom.
An ongoing legal dispute involving the logos of their respective coffee companies erupted on November 21, 2023. Sheridan's Bosque Ranch filed a lawsuit against Hauser's Free Rein, alleging “trademark infringement, unfair competition, and false advertising.” With Hauser's company launching four months post-Sheridan's, it appears the odds tilt in favor of the plaintiff.
Bosque Ranch: More than Just Coffee
Interestingly, Bosque Ranch is not just famous as a coffee brand, but also as an equine facility. The sprawling ranch serves as the backdrop for the magnificent shots of Yellowstone, adding another feather to Sheridan's cowboy hat.
Despite the ongoing legal commotion, the two stars continue to blaze on, gracing the screens with their Paramount series. Fans eagerly await the next installment of Yellowstone season 5, set to premiere on Paramount+ in November 2024.
In conclusion, while Sheridan and Hauser may throw down punches on and off the set, they share an unspoken respect when it comes to their craft. With the legal proceedings still underway and more Yellowstone episodes just around the corner, only time can tell how this cowboy drama would unfold. Whether the real-life dispute impacts their on-screen chemistry, the audience will have to wait and see.
