Kevin Costner, renowned Hollywood actor, shared an emotional connection with iconic music legend and his "Bodyguard" film partner, Whitney Houston. He shared his feelings in the "Armchair Expert" podcast, stating, "I don't know what it was, but there was a moment when it became evident that the world had greater expectations of who we were, so I decided to step up and be that person." Costner described himself as 'Whitney Houston's imaginary bodyguard.'

Throughout the filming of "Bodyguard" in 1992, the actor assumed the role of a protective figure for Houston. In this movie, Costner played the character, Frank Farmer, a bodyguard who shields pop star Rachel Marron (Houston) from a dangerous psychopath. "I'll never forget when she trusted me," Costner reminisced. Moreover, during the editing process, he took the responsibility of intervening on Houston's behalf, as promised earlier.

Sadly, Houston passed away at the age of 48 in a Beverly Hills hotel room in February 2012. During her funeral, Costner also delivered a heartfelt eulogy.
