Discover Wes Bentley's Hidden Passions

Books - A Journey of Self-Discovery

The Yellowstone actor, Wes Bentley, shares a profound connection with a particular book. "I'm obsessed with [the book] The Tao of Pooh," he reveals. This seemingly simple read by Benjamin Hoff has had a transformative impact on him. Before encountering this philosophical work, Bentley was a "temperamental kid" with an attitude. However, as he delved into the teachings through the lens of Winnie-the-Pooh, his mindset underwent a significant shift. "I read that book and in 15 minutes it changed my life," he confesses. "It opened my eyes and made me understand that things are beyond my control sometimes, and that I don't need to react." This book has become a guiding light in his life, constantly challenging his mind and inspiring him to seek self-awareness.Another aspect of Bentley's literary interests is his love for classic films. He enjoys watching Orson Welles' Touch of Evil and The Shining. Each time he watches these horror films starring Jack Nicholson, he discovers something new. It shows his appreciation for the depth and complexity that these films offer.

Music - A Melodic Escape

Music holds a special place in Wes Bentley's heart. He is a big music aficionado and can't get enough of Radiohead's 2008 album In Rainbows. "I can't stop listening to that album ever since it was released," he tells Us. "I think it's one of the most interesting albums of all time. It's also so expressive and it's Radiohead, so it's beautiful." This album seems to resonate with him on a deep level, providing a melodic escape and a source of inspiration.

Documentaries - Uncovering Mysterious Past

In addition to books and music, Bentley is also drawn to documentaries. He is currently bingeing the Netflix docuseries Ancient Apocalypse. This series, which has two seasons available to watch, follows journalist Graham Hancock as he travels the globe in search of evidence of mysterious, lost civilizations dating back to the last Ice Age. "It's about like, maybe who we were back in way, way prehistory at the last Ice Age," he shares. "How exciting is that?" The exploration of these lost civilizations through documentaries adds a new dimension to his interests and fuels his curiosity.Bentley has played Jamie Dutton in the hit Paramount+ series Yellowstone since 2018. Six years later, the show is now in its final season with the final batch of episodes coming out this month. "It was really satisfying to play [someone with] no spine, weakness and emptiness," he tells Us while promoting part two of the series' fifth season. "It's been a great challenge and one that I was really happy to try and meet — and I hope I did meet — but all that said, it is a weight that will be nice to let go of one day."For more on Bentley, pick up the latest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.
