Costner, dressed in a tan suit, at times seemed critical of himself. “Gosh
I’m terrible,” he said as he struggled to articulate the company’s
financial workings.
Costner and Baldwin have largely ignored each other in the courtroom during
the trial, which started on Monday.
But the star snapped at Baldwin from the witness box as he recalled being
frustrated by how the press portrayed his efforts to sell the centrifuges to
BP while the oil giant was scrambling to stop the flow of oil from its
blown-out well.
“I had to get over the mythology of Kevin and his crazy machine,”
Costner said, a remark that apparently drew a reaction from Baldwin, who was
seated at the plaintiffs’ table with his back to the courtroom gallery.
Costner the stared at Baldwin and asked: “Are you amused at this?”
Baldwin’s lawyer James Cobb asked: “Are you talking to me?”
“No, I was looking at your client, Mr Baldwin,” said Costner, 57,
the star of Field of Dreams, The Untouchables and The Bodyguard.
US District Judge Martin Feldman told Costner to stop talking to Baldwin.
Baldwin, 46, has yet to testify in the case, which is expected to last another
week.
