Co-star?

Question

Hi, could you help figure out to which sentence the word co-star refer to- I mean the subject.

"He success continued in the nineties with the fame of the hit I will always love you from the movie The Bodyguard, which co-stared Kevin Costner."

The Bodyguared co-stared Kevin Costner. Can we say like that?

Thank you.

Co-starred - two R's.
If you use "co-starred" in a sentence, you should say who the person co-starred with. The Whitney Houston film The Bodyguard co-starred Kevin Costner.

You could say that, but you need to fix some spelling: co-starred

You could also say this: "Kevin Costner co-starred in The Bodyguard."

Thank you. If I understood right, we can reverse: “She's co-starring in a TV version of the 1960s thriller.”

A TV version of the 1960s thriller is co-starring her.

Don't use the object pronoun there - give her name.
The term "co-starring" means that there are two people. If she's co-starring, who else is in the show with her?
Co-starring Ava Baker and Charles Dunlap, something like that.

In Hollywood terms, if you refer to your "co-star" it's the person who is equal to you in importance in the movie. However, if you are listing credits, it's "starring" for the most important people and "co-starring" for the lesser important people.

If you say "co-starrring" alone, it sounds like she is a second-level character on the show.
