Cole Hauser, best known for his role as Rip Wheeler in the hit series Yellowstone, has wrapped up what appears to be an unforgettable journey through New Zealand. The actor shared his appreciation for the country in his latest Instagram post, adding another stamp to his passport during what seems to be an extended global adventure.

In his heartfelt post, Hauser wrote, “Thank you New Zealand! Time to cruise that way. The people and places I’ve seen on this adventure will never be forgotten. #earth.” The accompanying image shows the actor enjoying what appears to be a scenic outdoor setting in New Zealand, capturing the natural beauty that made such an impression on him.

A World Traveler’s Journey

This New Zealand adventure follows Hauser’s recent visits to other remarkable destinations. Just days earlier, the actor posted about enjoying “old fashion fresh air in nature in a new place in the world,” demonstrating his appreciation for natural settings around the globe.

Before his New Zealand excursion, Hauser bid farewell to Botswana in early May, calling it “a magical place and people” while promoting his coffee brand, Free Rein Coffee Company. His global trek appears to showcase both personal exploration and business ventures, as he continues to expand his presence beyond Hollywood.

The 49-year-old actor has been sharing glimpses of his travels with his Instagram followers, offering fans a window into his off-screen adventures. These posts reveal a side of Hauser that contrasts with his stoic, tough-guy persona as Rip Wheeler, showing instead a traveler with a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and natural landscapes.

Family Man Away From The Camera

Despite his busy schedule of global travels and business ventures, Hauser remains connected to family life. In late April, he shared moments from a weekend spent with his daughters, enjoying time on the water with Sea-Doo watercraft, calling it “fun in the sun.”

The actor has been married to photographer and former actress Cynthia Daniel since 2006, and they have three children together – Ryland, Colt, and Steely Rose. While Hauser tends to keep his family life relatively private, these occasional glimpses into his personal world resonate with fans.

Yellowstone Legacy

While Hauser continues his global adventures, fans still primarily associate him with his role as the tough ranch foreman Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone. The series, which premiered in 2018, has become a cultural phenomenon and significantly raised Hauser’s profile.

His portrayal of the loyal and sometimes ruthless Rip has earned him a dedicated fanbase. A Christmas post on the official Yellowstone TV Instagram account even declared him “the only acceptable Cole today,” showcasing his importance to the show’s identity.

Throughout his career, Hauser has built an impressive filmography beyond Yellowstone. His notable works include roles in films like “Good Will Hunting,” “Pitch Black,” “2 Fast 2 Furious,” and “Dazed and Confused.” Born into a family with Hollywood connections, Cole has carved out his own distinctive path in the entertainment industry.

As Cole Hauser continues his global adventures, fans eagerly follow along through his social media updates, appreciating this glimpse into the life of an actor who seems equally comfortable in the rugged landscapes of Montana’s fictional Yellowstone Ranch and the real-life natural wonders of New Zealand and beyond.
