Before the movie came out, Costner could do no wrong. He was such a dick and Madonna roasted him so hard that he lost a lot.of his luster. The Bodyguard came out where he got carried by Whitney Houston, then Perfect World, which was a good movie thanks to Clint Eastwood directing, but basically an indie film in sensibility. His big movies that followed Truth or Dare, where he needed ro carry rhe movie were Wyatt Earp, Waterworld, and The Postman, but people were not showing up for him anymore.
Maybe it wasn’t Madonna alone, but I remember a lot of people talking about that Costner interaction ans how fake and cringe he he across.
What’s your point? The Bodyguard was a massive hit and fully carried by Whitney Houston. I acknowledged that upfront. I also pointed out the next movies in his filmography that he needed to carry himself. The box office numbers do not reflect, in any way, the impact of Truth or Dare + Sex.
Never knew Costner was in Truth or Dare.
Pretty sure he destroyed his career with The Postman and Waterworld, but I’ll take your word for it.
It’s a shame because waterworld absolutely holds up and I will die on this hill.
