And she finally walks over and goes, ‘I know who you are! ‘ And I said, ‘What the f[expletive] are you talking about? ‘ She goes, ‘I know you’re here to watch over me.’ And I said, ‘No, I’m not actually. I’m watching over a horse,'” he recounted, reports the Express.

“She goes, ‘Yes … My life’s about to change.’ I thought I understood what she’s saying: ‘I’d like to open my life… I think I would like to do this.'”.

The second time we talked she said, ‘Is there going to be a kissing scene? ‘ I said, ‘Do you want there to be one? ‘ She said, ‘Yeah,’ and I said, ‘Then we’ll do that,'” Costner shared.
