Prince William claimed Princess Diana ‘fancied’ The Bodyguard’s Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner has revealed Prince William confirmed a rumour about his late mother Princess Diana was true during a private chat with him.
The 69-year-old Oscar-winning actor is famous for appearing in movies like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Dances With Wolves and The Untouchables – but in the Nineties he was best known for starring opposite singing legend Whitney Houston in the hit film The Bodyguard.
Fans might not know this, but there was once going to be a Bodyguard 2 – and Princess Diana was set to star in it alongside Kevin. But when she tragically died in a car accident in August 1997 at the age of just 36, it was understandably scrapped.
Speaking about his bond with the princess for the first time, Kevin shared how Diana – who he was introduced to by the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson – was “very sweet” when they met. And he revealed she was very keen on doing a kissing scene with him in the then-upcoming movie.
