Kevin Costner admits to making a sequel to "The Bodyguard" with Princess Diana.

After the huge success of 1992's "The Bodyguard" with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, there were long rumors of a sequel starring Costner and now Princess Diana, but the project was abruptly canceled when Princess Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997. The project was abruptly canceled after Princess Diana's death in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997. [However, after Princess Diana's death in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997, the project was abruptly canceled.

When he appeared on the show of the same name, hosted by Howard Stern, "When Diana died, it leaked out that about a year later I was preparing for 'Bodyguard 2' with her," Costner said. And what happened was that the royal family turned on me a little bit. And what happened was the royal family got a little hostile toward me, and they said, 'That's not true. And it got real ugly. So I let it go for a while. And it just got uglier and uglier."

Speaking of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, who at the time had just divorced Prince Andrew, Cosner told Stern, "She said, 'No, no, no, Kev, no, no.' She said, 'No, no, Kev, you don't want to talk to them.' I said, 'Yes, I do. ' I called them and said, 'I'm not going to do it. I said, 'If you don't stop, I'll start. And I said, 'Well, I'm going to start.

Cosner elaborated on his plan to produce "Bodyguard 2" with Diana, Princess of Wales, who was separated from her ex-husband, then Prince Charles, when discussions about the project first began. (Prince Charles and Diana separated in 1992 and eventually divorced in 1996.)

"What happened was, I started talking to her [Diana] through Sarah. Are you interested? Cosner said. She said, 'Yeah, my life is about to change.' We didn't go into it in depth, but I thought I understood what she was saying.' She was very sweet and we talked, and the second time we talked she said, 'Are there going to be kissing scenes? I said, 'Do you want me to? ' She said, 'Yes,' and I said, 'Well, let's do that. I didn't intend to make my romance with her complete. But there had to be a moment when I did. She was so sweet."

A quick aside: Cosner recently revealed that he spoke with Princess Diana's eldest son, Prince William, about his mother, saying, "I happened to be in England, and I got a message that the prince really wanted to talk to me. We met in this room. He walked up to me and we shook hands. The first line that came out of his mouth was, 'You know, my mom kind of liked you.'"

"I couldn't replace Princess Diana," he said.
