We all remember the movie The Bodyguard from 1992 (and, above all, the image of Whitney Houston singing I will always love you at the end). Come on, one of the moments of the cinema of the 90s. But don't miss it: the success was such that in Hollywood they decided to make a sequel: ' The Bodyguard 2 '. Of course, you would never (but NEVER) imagine who was going to star in the second part of the film with Kevin Costner .
The actor, during an interview with People magazine , has revealed that the person the producers thought of was … Lady Di! Yes, you read that right. And, as if that were not enough, the actor has assured that Diana of Wales accepted the role . "The studio liked the idea of making a 'Bodyguard 2 ' similar to Whitney's," commented the actor. In addition, he has said that the ex-wife of Prince Charles of England was contacted by phone and Costner has even revealed some details of the conversation. "I remember she was very sweet on the phone and asked: Are we going to have a kiss scene?, but asked in a very respectful way. She was a little nervous, because I think her life was very controlled at that time, "the actor revealed.
According to the ET Canada program , the negotiation was carried out thanks to the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson. "Sarah was really important," explained the actor. "I always respect Sarah because she is the one who established the conversation between Diana and me. And she never said, 'Well, what about me? I'm a princess too . ' Plus, I was very much in favor of the idea," added Costner .
The actor has also revealed that the second part of the film would have focused on Fran Farmer, the bodyguard, would have to protect the character of Diana from the paparazzi. Costner received the script the day before Diana of Wales was killed in a car accident, while fleeing a swarm of paparazzi.
