Kevin Costner admitted he tried cocaine once, and it was "kind of lucky" he didn't enjoy it.

The 69-year-old actor opened up about his early years working in the industry and the time he was offered cocaine instead of money as a thank-you for work he was completing.

While working as a stage manager at Raleigh Studios, before he landed roles in "Field of Dreams" and "The Postman," Costner produced commercials and other projects. After landing a larger production, the actor was tasked with helping out with the rewiring of the stage.

"The electricians came over like rock stars," Costner recalled during an appearance on Dax Shepard's "The Armchair Expert." "They were prepping it, strong, like, you know, the whole thing. They were there for three weeks just stringing cable and then sets were being built."

"Whenever they needed something, I got it for them," he explained.

"At one point, they take me back into the grip room and say, ‘Here,’ and they put out a little line of coke. And they say, like, ‘Thank you for all the s--- you’re doing for us,’" Costner revealed.

"So, I do that and nothing. And I do it a second time. And I do it a third time," the Oscar winner recalled. "And finally I said to them, I said, ‘Hey, look, how much is that?’ And he says, ‘That’s about $20 right there,’ and I said, ‘Can I say something to you?’ And he says, ‘Yeah, f---, of course, man, what?’ And I said, ‘Look, I’m trying to buy my first house,’ and I said, ‘If you think what I’m doing’s cool, I could use $20. I could take a $20.’ And I was out of the club immediately."

Costner claimed he ended up being "excluded" from the group because he wasn't interested in the drugs.

"It was kind of lucky for me that I didn’t like coke," he told Shepard. "There was nothing there for me."
