If you’re a celebrity with a lot of money and need to hire a bodyguard to get around safely, why not just get the best of the best?
This is exactly what these celebrities did. They found tanks - no, scratch that. They managed to find entire units to protect them from all the threats having wealth and fame can bring. Here are some of the most impressive bodyguards we’ve ever seen!
Floyd Mayweather
When you think of a professional boxer, the last thing you’d imagine is that they’d need a bodyguard. But although a boxer may have more technical skills in defending themselves, sometimes bigger is better when fending away crowds.
That’s exactly the direction Floyd Mayweather took when he hired his bodyguard.
Drake
There’s no denying that Drake is one of the world’s biggest music stars at the moment. Year after year he has delivered hit after hit but it comes at a cost.
All this fame and wealth has caused havoc to his safety. Luckily, he has a bodyguard who is more muscle than man to look after all of his security needs.
Heidi Klum
For a supermodel like Heidi Klum, having paparazzi following you at every turn must feel quite overwhelming at times. We bet having a big, tough bodyguard by your side like Martin Kirsten would feel rather comforting.
Mr. Kirsten protected Heidi Klum and her four kids for years!
President of Lithuania
When you’re the president of Lithuania, it’s no surprise that you need a highly qualified security team and personal bodyguard to ensure your safety.
By the looks of it, it looks like this guy has got it more than covered. It’s pretty safe to say that one look at this man might just send a whole crowd of rebels running.
Niall Horan
One Direction’s, Niall Horan, is possibly one of the most successful members that parted ways after the boy band outgrew itself.
With as many teenage girls and boys as he must surely have, flinging themselves at him every public outing he takes, it's no surprise that he hired Mr. Muscles to protect him from their excitable throes.
Geri Halliwell
Geri Halliwell, aka ginger spice from the popular girl band Spice Girls in the ‘90s, has possibly hired the real-life version of pop-eye!
This guy is huge. He is a tank, a unit, and a beast. Her 6”5 personal bodyguard also doubles as her trainer and honestly, we completely understand why that’s a smart decision.
Daniel Radcliffe
Although Daniel Radcliffe’s most famous character, Harry Potter, may be able to fend off an entire army of dementors with his otherworldly powers, Daniel Radcliffe is nothing but human.
However, his bodyguard, Sam, has more than enough muscle to fend off any trouble that may travel his way. By the looks of it, he doesn’t even need a magic wand.
Kylie Jenner
When you’re hiring a bodyguard for one of - if not, the most famous family in America, you better bet you’re going to choose wisely.
Tim Chung previously worked as Kim Kardashian’s bodyguard but then moved to work for Kylie as she paved her way in the world. Needless to say, the cameras love these two.
Beyonce
Trust Queen B to find the most qualified bodyguard out there. There is no other way to best describe Julius De Boer than a block of pure muscle.
This guy’s towering and dominating presence is intimidating, so much so that he successfully started his own bodyguard company with offices in New York, London, and Abu-Dhabi.
Fergie
Fergie is another A-lister who truly knows who to pick ‘em. Pascal Duvier has plenty of experience guarding celebrities. From the Kardashians to Katy Perry, Mr. Duvier is a force to be reckoned with.
And Fergie isn’t afraid to use his power and strength to break through crowds during her performances.
Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid is one of the biggest names in the fashion industry at the moment. So it makes sense that she’d need a bodyguard to protect her from the swarming crowds of people and paparazzi that appear wherever she goes.
Not much is known about her bodyguard, only that his intimidating stare would make you want to curl up and hide.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber looks tiny next to his bodyguard, Evert Viera, who shadows him wherever he goes.
This former marine is responsible for Bieber’s safety and security. And it looks like his skills as a former marine has transferred nicely into his new role. The bio in his caption reads “I have to go to the gym”. We’re betting it’s an accurate representation of his life.
Adele
Whenever the cameras capture Adele venturing outside, likely, they’ll also capture a tall bald muscly man keeping close quarters behind her.
That man is her bodyguard, Peter Van Der Veen, and he looks like he came straight out of a James Bond movie. Intimidating and good-looking - not a bad pick Adele...
The Beckham Kids
If you’re a kid and you have a full-blown man following you around everywhere you go, you may react one of two ways; either you’re annoyed and are dying for your independence and freedom OR it goes completely to your head and you feel completely invincible.
We’re not sure which one is better here.
