Country singer Dierks Bentley may be ready for his Hollywood debut. 

Although he previously turned down an acting gig with Larry David, Bentley said if “Yellowstone” needed a new cowboy, he’d be there in a heartbeat. 

“I love ‘Yellowstone,’” Bentley, 47, admitted during an interview at Country Music Association (CMA) Fest.

“If Lainey Wilson wanted to drag me along to the next ‘Yellowstone’ shoot, let’s go. I’m ready.”

“You got to go out there once a week. That’s easy…for people to do, that live there. They just walk out the door,” Bentley pointed out.

The “Somewhere on a Beach” singer joked that aside from his music tour, he’s been on a hockey tour since his kid plays the sport on a travel team.

“I have a lot of respect for real actors and what they do… I’m happy…to know what my strengths and weaknesses are…how much available time I have for outside pursuits,” he remarked.

“I’m already pretty full…with music and family… I’ll continue to be a spectator in that arena, but nothing against L.A. It’s a great spot.”
