Keeping up with the Costners.

Kevin Costner brought five of his seven children to the Cannes Film Festival and joked that he needed a “tour director” to keep them in line.

“I wanted them to see me work. I got them tuxedos, I got them dresses,” the actor, 69, said during a “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance Tuesday.

However, he recalled, “The minute they got there, my two sons went fishing. … My three daughters ended up on a boat, and said they’d see me around three or four o’clock … and then I get a call and they were drinking drinks at this point, so they cruised in about eight.

“I said, ‘We came to France to be as a family.’ They go, ‘It’s working great dad. What do we do next?’” the “Yellowstone” alum continued. “I said, ‘I don’t know. We need a tour director to figure that out.’”

Annie, 40, Lily, 37, Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 13, accompanied Costner on the France trip, making a rare red carpet appearance on Sunday to promote “Horizon: An American Saga.”

“He didn’t have to audition,” he joked. “I know these parts are so important in people’s career, so I don’t just hand them out like candy.”

The director also clarified that he did not “f–king cry” during the movie’s 11-minute standing ovation.

He did tell GQ on Monday that making the four-part movie was difficult during his divorce from Christine Baumgartner.

Costner felt “broken” on a “daily basis,” he admitted to the outlet.

“I’ve taken big bites out of life, life’s taken big ones out of me,” the Golden Globe winner added. “I’m not going to lose myself because I’ve been bruised. I have been, but I’m not going to lose myself.”

The former couple settled their divorce in February, nearly one year after calling it quits.
