KEVIN COSTNER was mistaken for a drug dealer when he grew huge sideburns for his latest role.

The veteran Hollywood star was forced to grow extreme facial hair for his role as a robber who disguises himself as Elvis in 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND - but the fashion accessory didn't go down well at the school his children attend.

He explains, "The only problem it caused was at the kid's school when I showed up and the rest of the parents thought I was some kind of dealer. "I would drive my kids to school and go to their sports games and the other kids parents would look at me and go, 'Oh my god'. They thought I'd turned a little bit weird." (MB/WN/KW)
