The Bodyguard (1992)

90s excessforbidden tensiondiva energy

Overview

ActionDramaRomance

A former Secret Service agent grudgingly takes an assignment to protect a pop idol who's threatened by a crazed fan. At first, the safety-obsessed bodyguard and the self-indulgent diva totally clash. But before long, all that tension sparks fireworks of another sort, and the love-averse tough guy is torn between duty and romance.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Costner insisted on casting Houston after seeing her magazine cover; studio wanted someone 'safer.' He also suggested the iconic 'I Will Always Love You' cover.

Cultural

This launched the bodyguard-romance subgenre and made Whitney the first woman to debut at #1 with a film soundtrack. The '90s truly peaked here.
