Cole Hauser, more popularly known for his iconic character Rip Wheeler in Paramount’s Yellowstone, broke Instagram after he posted a steaming hot (and also wet) shirtless photo of him in a horse trough just days before the premiere of Yellowstone’s highly-anticipated fourth season. And the number of thirsty comments that flooded through the photo’s comment section was more chaotic than the Wild West that even Kevin Costner (John Dutton) commented on the photo.

Women were all getting wild and crazy, and can we just say that deities have been summoned and named more than just a few times. Not only that, there were a lot who died that day as well. And of course, sharing is definitely caring during these times, and there was a lot of tagging that happened. Or maybe it’s misery loves company – after all, they all had to suffer from all the feelings of seeing it.

The photo in question was taken by photographer Emerson Miller for the spread of the premier magazine of the West, Cowboys & Indians, with which Hauser also talked about the newest season of Yellowstone and other ‘irons in his fire.’ As we all know, last season’s finale was so intensely cliff-hanging that fans have been more than excited and curious as to what exactly will go down after that.

The interview was definitely spoiler-free, so if you want to read it, go ahead and click here. We bet you’re already ‘spoiled enough’ with the photo, so there’s that.

Yellowstone Season 4 returned on the TV screen with a two-hour premiere last November 7, exclusively available on Paramount. It will run a total of 10 episodes, and if there would be no breaks in their weekly release (every Sunday 8/7 C), then the earliest date for the season finale is January 2, 2022.

There’s definitely a lot going on, so if you don’t want to miss anything, then you should go and watch it now.
