Kevin Costner Reveals the Untold Story
The well-known star of ‘The Bodyguard,’ Kevin Costner, dropped a little secret about a sequel that never saw the light of day. This sequel had a royal touch to it, as it was supposed to feature our beloved Princess Diana. Picture this – Princess Diana making her big Hollywood debut in the sequel to ‘The Bodyguard.’ But fate had other plans, and the project remained unrealized due to her tragic and sudden death.
Costner spilled the beans during an eye-opening chat on the Howard Stern show. He offered some fascinating insights into the planned sequel and the role the Princess would have played. But interestingly, Costner wasn’t supposed to redo his role from the original. Instead, the plot spun around him coincidentally ending up with the runaway princess.
Why Not The Bodyguard 2 without Diana?
Just imagine how exciting the idea of a sequel to ‘The Bodyguard’ sounds. But without Princess Diana to fill the leading role? Costner simply can’t see it happening. In his perspective, Princess Diana’s absence leaves an unfillable void. In his words, nobody else could do justice to the particular role planned for her.
A Clash with The Royals
Costner’s idea for the sequel was not well-received by the Royal family. Why? Well, the news about the sequel leaked out about a year after Princess Diana had passed away, and that caused quite a stir in the royal household. With this leak causing trust issues, relations between Costner and the Royals experienced a serious setback.
Despite the awkwardness caused by this situation, things eventually cooled down. Costner shocked us with a little tidbit about a surprising meet-up with Prince William, years after Princess Diana’s death. He let it slip that the Prince had shared that his mum, Princess Diana, actually held a fancy for Costner!
Looking Back at The Sequel That Didn’t Happen
Costner’s revelations have opened a whole new side to the story of ‘The Bodyguard’ and Princess Diana’s legacy. It’s thrilling to think she might have been part of this beloved film’s sequel. It’s sad that the world will never see that version of ‘The Bodyguard.’
Still, we’re lucky that we have the original film to relive those magic moments. ‘The Bodyguard’ continues to strike a chord with fans all over the world. Guess what? You can even stream the film right now on Netflix and enjoy Whitney Houston’s unforgettable performance as Rachel Marron. Cheered on by the ever-protective bodyguard, Frank, played by Kevin Costner. The film stood and still stands as an epitome of thrilling romance.
Wrapping Up
There we have it – the scoop on an unrealized project that would have seen our beautiful Princess Diana in a major Hollywood role. It’s a real shame we couldn’t see it unfold. But in the end, the timeless charm of ‘The Bodyguard’ remains unscathed, still drawing us in, time and again. Rest assured, Princess Diana’s legacy needs no Hollywood role to shine. She forever remains in our hearts, just like the movie ‘The Bodyguard.’
