He believes he was the inspiration for 1992 film The Bodyguard starring Houston and Kevin Costner .
The 72-year-old has written a book about his time with the star who died aged 48 in 2012 .
Houston died in 2012 at just 48 of accidental drowning due to the effects of cocaine use and heart disease.
In 2015 , Bobbi Kristina Brown , the only daughter of Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown , was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her home in Georgia and died six months later .
