I came across this interview with Chris Birt (Henry in the film) done by Costner's Italian fan club and apparently Costner started persuing Whitney back in 1986 when he decided to go to her Chicago(I'm guessing Hoffman estates) concert during a break of filming 'The Untouchables'. He was completely mesmerized and felt as if she was singing only to him even though there were 1000s of others in the room lol

There's also a sweet mention of Whitney's generosity and how she was always giving them things.

Still can’t believe Kevin pursued her for 4 years for that role! I will forever believe that KC was very attracted to Whitney. Just the way he spoke and still speaks about her reveals a lot. Whitney was the main hold up lol.

Thank you OP for this! A few weeks ago we were talking about his business partner that confirmed it was no later than 1988 that Kevin had Whitney on his brain! Now 1986 is adding even more to the pot. @The Standard This also makes it even funnier when others try to bring up other female acts of the day lmao! Kevin KNEW who he wanted and they made history together!

@Legendary I wanna block you for those pictures. He is so damn ugly!
It's not his fault he was born that way..too bad he chose to be ugly on the inside too. Poor Tommy looks like his grill is done. Hate to see it.

BTW, there were worst pics. These were mid-range bad...see I was looking out for ya'll lmao. Ya'll can't tell Bobby shhh TO THIS DAY tho lol. Meanwhile, Kev is always so humble.

aww kev seems so sweet in that clip whitney honestly fumbled the bag by saying no to Kevin , de niro and Randall Cunningham... smh she should've at least allowed herself to be spoiled by them even if it didn't last.but instead in literally every partner she chose she was the bread winner , chasing the man and paying for everything

MAN!! I will forever support Kev for his love for Whitney. If only she tuned out the masses and what others would have thought and got with him!

@slw84 I know we debated it before but here’s more confirmation that Kevin was pursuing Whitney way back in 1986. That’s a long ass time.
@Legendary The fact that she made him wait that long is still funny and hi-key admirable.

Isn’t Tommy’s supposed to be the “cleaner” one out of the 2? I know he’s also battled addiction issues but I wasn’t expecting him to be missing all his teeth.

Not sure about the "cleaner". Did you see Bobby on Red Table talks? I wasn't expecting his grill to be in that condition either.

Why couldn’t Bobby hook his brother up with the same dentures? But then again, Bobby’s grill ain’t never been pretty.

I don't know enough about Tommy to drag him so I won't dog him out...esp when he DID LOOK better than Bobby. Bob is like the ugliest of the bunch. Anyhow, we know Bob got ill fitting dentures so maybe Tommy is waiting for a better plan perhaps lol?!

I had to run back and look at Kevin just to calm my nerves and eyes! Bless him.

I agree, he always seemed to have the more level head, more so than Bobby.Or at least made some what of an effort. Bobby always looked like he needed a long ass soak in a bath, always looked un-fresh as hell. I hope that plan comes in fast, dude must be hungry!!

Taken from Gayle and Kev's CBS 'This Morning' (03 Feb. 2015) interview...

GAYLE KING: This is not the first time Costner has dealt with interracial relationships. In 1992 he co-starred with Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard. I remember Whitney`s-- Whitney`s service and your tribute was one of the most moving. What did she mean to you when you look back?
KEVIN COSTNER: Well, I`ve had to reflect on that because, you know, I-- you know, I was her imaginary bodyguard.

GAYLE KING: Yeah.
KEVIN COSTNER: Okay. I was her movie bodyguard.

GAYLE KING: Mm.
KEVIN COSTNER: I had this unique window.

GAYLE KING: Mm-Hm.
KEVIN COSTNER: I was right there. I held her hand.

GAYLE KING: Mm-Hm.
KEVIN COSTNER: And I wasn't able to hold her hand after that.


GAYLE KING: Mm-Hm.
KEVIN COSTNER: And I watched her journey. I watched the spiral. You know, there was two or three times when I was asked to write her letters that maybe this would have a level-- a level of impact on her. I wrote those letters. I never heard back. I was told that she got them.

GAYLE KING: Mm-Hm.

KEVIN COSTNER: But-- but she went away.

I hope not
Google says he was married from ‘78 to ‘94
The movie filmed in ‘92
I think he went to her greatest love of all tour and said was drawn to her or something big like that. It’s not hard to believe , if I recall correctly he cheated on one of his wives.
