After her divorce from then-Prince Charles, Princess Diana apparently had the opportunity to pivot into a career as an actress—how the late royal felt about that opportunity is still a matter of debate though. After the massive success of the 1992 movie The Bodyguard, starring Whitney Houston as massively-successful actress and singer and Kevin Costner as her protective bodyguard, Costner considered making a sequel to the film. Costner claimed that Diana told him she was looking to trying something new—and that included an onscreen kissing scene with him, apparently. "I never made that movie because I could not replace Princess Di," he told Stern during the 2024 interview. "She was approached to appear in The Bodyguard II alongside Kevin Costner," Burrell wrote (per The Daily Mail).
