Confessions of a Celeb Bodyguard
You've probably seen my face in paparazzi photos of celebrities. I'm one of those guys in the dark suits who won't crack a smile. The reason I look so gruff is because it's my job to protect some of the biggest actors, musicians, and sports figures in the world...which means I have to be on alert every second. Sure, there are some perks that come with the gig: I get to travel and attend A-list parties. And the pay is pretty damn good. I usually work from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., unless a client requests that I stay longer, and I make about $75 to $100 an hour. When I travel with a client, I can make twice that. But there are also a lot of demands and responsibilities, and sometimes, my client's life (or even my own) is in danger when things get hairy.
