"I don't think we'll ever forget when that little song came out, that she just blew up"
Kevin Costner has paid a fresh tribute to Whitney Houston as he reflected on her death at the SAG Awards.
The actor starred in the 1992 hit film alongside the late singer, who passed away in 2012, playing the bodyguard for Houston's character Rachel Maron.
Speaking on the SAG red carpet last night (February 27), Costner was asked how he keeps the late star's spirit alive 10 years after his death.
"When movies are at their best, they're about moments and images that you'll never forget," he told People.
Referring to Houston's hit cover of Dolly Parton's 'I'll Always Love You,' the star continued: "I don't think we'll ever forget when that little song came out, that it just blew up. The first part was sung a cappella and musically the world was never the same.
"We have a moment of him in that film that we will never forget and I think when films are at their best, that can happen."
Houston died of accidental drowning in a bathtub following a drug overdose on February 11, 2012.
The Bodyguard became a huge hit upon release, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time in 1992, while its soundtrack still holds the record for the best-selling soundtrack.
The remake of the film is set to receive the treatment, which was announced last year and will be written by playwright Matthew Lopez. However, Houston's ex-husband Bobby Brown suggests that the film is a bad idea.
Houston is also set to get a biopic titled I Wanna Dance With Somebody, which is backed by the late star's estate and stars Naomi Aki as the singer. The film is reportedly set to release in 2022.
