July 25, 2008 (Sawf News) - Kevin Costner attended the world premiere of Swing Vote with his German model and designer wife, Christine Baumgartner, at El Capitan Theater in Hollywood on Thursday, July 24.
Costner has produced the political comedy directed by Joshua Michael Stern. He also stars in the film along with Paula Patton, Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Nathan Lane, Stanley Tucci, George Lopez and debutante Madeline Carroll.
He plays Bud Johnson, an apathetic, beer slinging, lovable loser whose one bright spot is Molly, his twelve-year-old, over achieving daughter. She takes care of both of the them until Election Day when in a remarkable turn of events, the result of the presidential election comes down to one man's vote - Bud Johnson's!

Beautiful Christine was dressed in a deep V neckline floor grazing copper gown with a ruched waist and a crinkled full skirt. Her layered cut blond hair was left open with her bangs falling over the right side of the forehead. She had accessorized with oversized gold hoop earrings and gold bangles on her left arm.
The charming couple exuded warmth and readily posed for the cameras.
