Cody Johnson Turns Down Yellowstone Role

Cody Johnson seems like he would be the perfect addition to the Yellowstone series, as far as country artists goes, but there’s one thing holding him back: an already packed schedule.

In a recent interview, Cody shared, “I know Taylor Sheridan and he asked me about being there, but I’ll just be honest, he gave me very little notice . . . Like a couple of months. I’m booked halfway through next year already. For what I would’ve had to cancel, I would’ve lost a pretty significant amount of money. So, I said, ‘Nah, I can’t do that.’”

Cody also shared what it would take to make it happen, saying “I was just like, ‘Dude, if you just give me a year. Let me know a year ahead, and I could carve it out. I would love that.”

And - don’t be surprised that Cody may actually be a natural on the big screen - he also revealed, “I won best actor in high school . . . All the hot girls were in drama class, man...I would like to act. I really think that I could get into a role and really take it on, but I would want to do it right.”
