00:00 A connection between Lady Diana and the film Bodyguard may seem far-fetched at first.
00:06 In a surprising revelation, actor Kevin Costner shared intriguing details during his appearance
00:10 on the People TV show Couch Surfing back in 2019.
00:14 Supposedly, Lady Diana was considered for a potential role in a sequel to Bodyguard.
00:21 The studio liked the idea of doing a Bodyguard 2 with Princess Diana in the same kind of
00:25 capacity as Whitney.
00:28 Nobody really knew that for about a year, reported the lead actor of the film.
00:33 Kevin Costner's character would have shielded Lady Diana's character from stalkers and paparazzi,
00:38 drawing inspiration from the real-life challenges she faced.
00:41 Naturally, they would have woven a love story into the narrative.
00:46 The script was already in full development.
00:50 Kevin Costner states he would have been happy to work with Lady Diana.
00:54 "I just remember her being incredibly sweet on the phone, she goes, 'Are we going to have
00:58 like a kissing scene?'
01:00 She was a little nervous because I think her life was very governed.
01:04 I answered there's going to be a little bit of that, but we can make that okay too," he
01:08 said.
01:09 Nevertheless, any prospects of collaboration were abruptly halted.
01:14 Lady Diana met a tragic fate in a fatal accident on August 31, 1997, rendering the envisioned
01:21 idea impossible to bring to fruition.
01:24 The initial installment of Bodyguard remains a poignant tribute to singer Whitney Houston,
01:29 who passed away in 2012.

01:31 I think it's a wonderful thing to do.
