Kevin Costner revealed that Prince William confessed to him that his mother, Princess Diana, «showed interest» in him during an interview with People magazine published on June 18.
«I happened to be in England, and I received a message that the prince wanted to talk, and I said, 'What?'… We met in this room, and it was just us. He approached me, and we shook hands. The first thing he said was, 'You know, my mom somehow showed interest in you,'» shared the 69-year-old actor.
The star of «The Bodyguard» was surprised by the conversation with a member of the royal family, especially considering that he had already met Diana through the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, who had planned their collaboration on a sequel to the Whitney Houston film. «It was so sweet… Sarah arranged it. Sarah was very cool — she could have said, 'Well, what about me? I’m a princess too.' But she didn’t. Diana and I started talking», - he recalled.
During an interview on The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, June 18, he told the story of how he proposed to Diana to appear in «The Bodyguard 2». «I said, 'I'm going to make The Bodyguard 2, and I think I can build a story around you. Are you interested?' She replied, 'Yes… My life is about to change,'» he said.
He then added how the late Princess of Wales asked if there would be a kissing scene in the movie — this happened when she was going through a divorce with her husband, King Charles III. «The second time we talked, she asked, 'Will there be a kissing scene?' I said, 'Do you want there to be?' She said, 'Yes,' and I said, 'Then we’ll do it.'»
After her passing in 1997, he felt that he couldn’t replace her. The royal family was surprised by rumors that Kevin was working on a second film, which apparently was untrue: «It was like, 'No, that’s not true.' It became quite uncomfortable. I was silent for a while. But it was becoming more and more uncomfortable… I called them and said, 'Stop. You need to stop because this is true,'» he told Howard Stern
