Cole Hauser has experienced some odd fan encounters after gaining fame as Rip Wheeler on "Yellowstone."
"I’ve had some old women grab my a--," Hauser, 50, told Page Six.
"It’s been a little bit … a little bit strange," he explained. "But for the most part of it, everyone’s been very respectful. But I think when the older ladies get a few drinks in them, they get a little aggressive."
While "Yellowstone" shot Hauser into mainstream success, the actor first appeared in movies such as "Good Will Hunting" and "Dazed and Confused."

With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be."
Academy Award nominee, Annette Bening, will be joining the cast as Beulah Jackson, "the powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas."

"I’m so focused on finishing ‘Yellowstone’ the way it needs to be finished right now – well, just the show itself," Hauser told Country Living. "We’ll see where that leads."
"But I know that there’s some stuff on the horizon when it comes to Taylor’s ideas for Kelly Reilly and myself, and some of the other cast," he added. "I’m excited to see where he goes creatively with that. But right now, it’s just: Let’s finish strong; let’s do the best we can."
