Hollywood star Kevin Costner has revealed that Princess Diana of Britain had a celebrity crush on him.
This revelation emerged about 15 years after Costner and Diana met to discuss the possibility of her co-starring in an unmade sequel to his 1992 film “The Bodyguard.”
Costner learned of Diana’s crush during a later encounter with her son, Prince William.
“About 15 years later …. I ultimately had a very sweet conversation with Prince William. I happened to be over in England and got this message that the prince would love to talk to [me],” the actor told PEOPLE in an interview.
“The first line out of his mouth was, ‘You know, my mom kind of fancied you,’” Kevin Costner said.

Recalling his meeting with the Prince of Wales, the Hollywood star said that they met in a room by themselves and there was nobody else.
“We sat down and shook hands and the first line out of his mouth was, ‘You know, my mom kind of fancied you,’” Costner claimed.
Meanwhile, the actor refused to further disclose what they discussed during their meeting.
“It was a very sweet thing. We just chatted and we both broke away and we never became pen pals or did anything like that. But I’ve had such fond memories of who he was, how I was approached and what we talked about,” he said.
I love this… ❤️
