Bodyguard
VIP protection professional
A bodyguard is a person employed to protect someone from physical harm or unwanted intrusion.
Bodyguards accompany public figures, executives, or anyone facing security threats: The celebrity traveled with two bodyguards.
The term emphasizes physical proximity—guarding the body itself rather than property or perimeter.
