The 57-year-old actor told Anderson Cooper that he was working with Lady Di on the sequel to the 1992 film he made with Whitney Houston.

He explained: "Diana and I had been talking about doing Bodyguard 2. I told her I would take care of her just the same way that I took care of Whitney."

He added: "She wanted me to write it for her. I said 'I'll tailor it for you if you're interested.' She goes, 'I am interested.'"

Costner, who produced and starred in the original Bodyguard, said that the sequel would portray his character protecting the Princess of Wales from stalkers and the paparazzi before starting an illicit affair with her.

The actor also revealed that he received the script for the film the day before Princess Diana's death in 1997 at age 36.
