Kevin Costner reveals heartwarming interaction with Prince William
Kevin Costner has revealed that Prince William left a strong impression on him after the royal organised a meet-up with him several years ago.
"I happened to be in England, and I got this message that the Prince would love to talk, and I said, 'What?'... and then I went, 'Okay'," the Hollywood actor told People magazine.
"We met in this room, and it was just us. He walked up, and we shook hands. ..."
What came out of the royals mouth next left the actor feeling delighted, as he revealed that his late mother, Princess Diana, had a crush on Costner.
"The first line out of his mouth was, 'You know, my mom kind of fancied you'."
He described Prince William as "quite a young man," and that the interaction had left him with "fond memories of who he was, how I was approached and what we talked about."
Costner also revealed that he had talks with the late Princess about being involved in the sequel to his iconic film The Bodyguard.
"There was a moment that that was really flying down the tracks, very quietly, because it's how I operate," he said.
The three-time Golden Globe winner shared that Sarah Ferguson was the one who introduced him to the Diana.
"It was so sweet. Sarah was the one that set this up. Sarah was very cool... when she could have been going, 'Well, I'm a princess too. What about me? ' She didn't do that at all. Diana and I began to talk," he praised the Duchess of York.
