Kevin Costner: A Journey Through Film And Family

Looking back. Kevin Costner has come a long way since he played Eliot Ness in the 1987 movie, The Untouchables. That role helped him rise to fame and secure his next big gigs in No Way Out, Bull Durham, and Field of Dreams. But no matter what roles he took on, fans will always love his portrayal of Frank Farmer in The Bodyguard. This film not only marked a significant moment in his career but also captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

In a previous interview with ABC News Radio, Kevin shared insights on why people can’t get enough of the iconic 1992 film. “We want that level of security — who cares for us, who loves us, who would stand in front of us, who would stand for us,” he explained, reflecting on the emotional connection viewers have with the film. He also mentioned Whitney Houston, stating, “She was so beautiful and I thought, ‘Well, this is the girl for me.’” This partnership between Costner and Houston added a unique charm to the movie that remains memorable to this day.

Kevin has not only enjoyed a successful acting career but has also dedicated himself to his family. Using the money he earned from The Bodyguard and other films, he has taken great pride in providing for his seven children. He shares kids Annie, Lily, and Joe with his first wife, Cindy Costner, and has a son named Liam from a previous relationship with Bridget Rooney.
