Bodyguard Explains How He Protects The Rich And Famous | Minutes With | UNILAD |  

"I dont have any holes, so you can guess what happened to the other guys." Nice.

You need the steel pen to press the buttons on that tiny phone.

This guy looks like he has a backup plan to back up his backup plan.

*Pulls out comedically small phone*

I heard he has a particular set of skills that he acquired over a long career

I wonder if he has a teenage daughter that once lied to him about going with a friend to Europe to see museums.

Jesus, how big are his hands? Makes that phone look tiny

I really appreciate this series. It really humanizes other members of society, which this world needs more of.

I feel like this guy just stepped out of a Bond film.

"I've been attacked by pirates, godzilla and iraqi bandits.." Tell us a story about an incident! "Well one time a woman hugged my client so I had to be nice"

Fantastic interview. I work in close protection and everything he said is true. Protection is 80% planning and 20% execution.

He’s probably just a Steel pen salesman.

Feel like I just left a personal security TED talk, this man is a teacher at heart.

Alternate Title: Bodygaurd tells us how to assassinate a super star

In my experience the most capable guys are always polite and calm in ordinary conversation.

Everyone's concentrating on the size of the phone so much that they haven't figured out this guys story about the phone makes no sense whatsoever.

“One time this lady bear hugged my principal “ high level tactical stuff mate 😂

What if I'm not guarding my principal? What if I'm just guarding some random substitute teacher that I don't really care about?

I could listen to this guy for hours! Very good at presenting information, about a very interesting job that most people know nothing about.

Was sceptical of this at first based on the title as I thought that it'd be about celebrity gossip but I should've trusted in LADbible. Always interesting content and this provided compelling insight into a very closed-off world that ironically has a very public face. I bet he does have some insane stories - we only see the versions of these celeb types that have been crafted by their PR people, and this man was there to protect those kinds of images, but hearing about them being at odds with organised crime does not surprise me at all (gambling, drugs - all of the excess that comes with money and fame). Also, he would be a great pick given that he doesn't have the stereotypical "look" of the bodyguard. You can tell that this guy is serious and can handle himself. We need people like this on the side of the working masses.

If this dude visits your country, you are the foreigner

Know this guy from the Mayfair Gun Club before the UK gun ban. I used go 3 to 4 times a week and often helped with the training. Great memories, with some great people.

He looks like a really good body guard because he doesn’t look like that stereotypical huge, broad and muscular rough body guard, who’s easy to point out, he looks like, as he said, a chameleon someone who would just blend into the background and people wouldn’t suspect him of being the protector who’s really skilled and prepared. He looks good you know

*pulls out insanely small phone* “This was necessary for my single client” Imagine his client was Shaq before marriage..

Having a pen also has the advantage that if a fan is asking for a autograph, everyone nearby will search through their pockets. Specifically then the risk of someone pulling out a weapon without being noticed is extremely high. So if u already have one you can just quickly hand it over to the fan, avoiding this risk

"I dont have any holes, so you can guess what happened to the other guys'' I believe him just based on his accent.

Thank you so much for sharing.

99.99 % of the time - things were quiet. I was the 1IC of a place. I got a call - from the Personal SRC of an Industry guy. I arrived in shorts, sneakers and Hawaiian shirt. We knew our subject - he had a photo. He asked me - "what is the plan - I will stay seated outside - and wait - if he comes back - You take right - I will have left - and Subject GOES out the door". 30 min later - I get a meal - and me and his SRC were enjoying a coffee. I gave him my personal number - in case he was coming back - and none of us would get sidestepped. 30 yrs of stories. I remember saying I would write a book. Thank you to those still working. You guys were awesome!

Him as a guard: You've got to be like a chameleon since there are cameras all around recording. You gotta be gentle when you can. Me as a guard: *Panics* and throws a very ungental swing into the intruders face.

This guy looks like before he fights you he has to wash his hands and has to season someones soup with salt and pepper

Damn I wish this was a 12-minuter! Def want to hear more about some of his run-ins

Ahhh my recommendations coming through for me once again 😁

''I´ll leave the rest t your imagination what you can do with a steel pen'''' *John Wick intensifies*

Me: off to search Amazon for random tactical items I'll never use.

Very interesting and informative .

Great video. Some tips I can use to protect myself. Thanks

With a particular set of skills that he acquired over a long career. ie. Removing people from bearhugs.

This guy is a real life James Bond! LoL

Wow ! That was a very nice interview ! Congrats!

I’ve got one of those pens!! Amazing bit of kit and actually writes really nicely.

"You never survive your principal". I remember that from a programme I watched years ago, similar to Bodyguard.

He sounds like Sasha Barron Cohen now I’m questioning if he’s real

I think we met this guy in Lisbon, in a hotel. Very fascinating conversation. He was telling us about his time in Africa.

That was so fascinating to watch, definitely taking notes from this!

I remember hearing about Tactical pens a few years ago, laughed my ass of. But I have to admit these things are really underrated, no reason not to have a metal spike with you, saved my ass at least once.

This man still has a certain light in his eyes. Not to discount his skill or his ability, but I've seen similar interviews on this channel with soldiers who seem so very dead in the eyes due to their experiences. I'll never discount either experience, but my heart goes out to those who have been broken by their experiences.

Tactical pen, I just work in security and I always have my tactical pen with me, slash proof glooves and a tactical torch. And depending on my job a first aid kit. I'd love to move up and work as close protection.

Side note: Thank you so much for including a warning in advance for flashing images. Unfortunately I cannot watch this video due to seizures but I just wanted to say thank you for adding that warning... #itsthelittlethingsthatcount - Right, I'm off to watch the rest of the videos...

Plot twist: That is actually a normal sized phone

He seems like he was advertising each tool hahahaha. Perfect!

That's awesome !!!

Interesting interview.

Guys in jail are in love with this phone.

I would not enjoy life so well if I needed a bodyguard.

This should have been longer, what an interesting guy

"Theres no holes in me so you can guess what happened to the other guys" so badass omfg

"You need to be able to...-turn from the nice guy to the warrior in a nanosecond." Nice guys: 😎😤

He’s lying. I’ve seen him working at Argos

I liked that, he seemed very professional and was no-nonsense.

He seems like such a charming and suave man

How to survive as a bodyguard: *Easy. Just buy yourself a plot armor.*

when i used to think of a body guard, i imagined a 6’4 really buff dude

That's brilliant

These are cracking interviews.

Everything this guy says is so badass!

The phone is real and for protecting someone makes perfect sense. It's size and 15 day standby charge makes a great backup phone for client that can be better concealed then a full size phone. Like in a custom small pocket in clothing. The client has a potential source of communication.

Always wondered about this. Like specifics

Rah man pulled put the zaaaanc yanooo 👌🏼🤣🤣

Woah he must have massive hands holding that phone 😂

'Tactical Pens' do vary a lot but a decent one is actually pretty damn versatile you can do all sorts, glass breaking, collecting DNA, prying, pressure points, impact, impalement, joint locks etc. They're basically like utility based kubotans and they can also function as a pen... Perhaps one of their biggest advantages is that you can carry all of that versatility almost anywhere, even in really strictly monitored places like the United Kingdom. Personal alarms are also great and definitely not just for the girls. They've developed such inaccurate connotations over the years because they've been called things like 'rape alarms' in the past. But they're quicker than making a phone call, they're very loud and very distinct and will immediately draw attention to you if you're in trouble and that trouble could easily be anything from a mugging, to something like a really fast seizure or asthma attack, through to being trapped somewhere injured. They're brilliant tools and they're small, you can always have one with you for free it costs you nothing to carry one around.

Great 👍 tips

Absolute badass lads

I'm so early I'm here before the John Wick pencil not pen jokes.

Love it when he said "spidey senses"... legend

Awesome

I feel safe listening to this guy.

This is the type of videos I watch at 3 am in the morning

*produces an impossibly tiny phone Derek Zoolander left the chat.

Awesome guy

As a dad with a beautiful family I feel IV had to hone all of these skills

A tactical torch Is a bad ass way to call a flash light

If James Bond is in trouble he calls him to save him.

Why do I feel like hes trying to sell me things 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good program good digital entertainment network

me: on sick leave from office job him: you need a tactical pen me: i need a tactical pen

He's Like A Reverse John Wick...

Verry smart gentlemen.

One of the core skills you need to have in this game Instinct And intuition

“You take the steel pen, and using the palm of your hand, smash it in to their eye.” “Michael. That’s just a monstrous use of a biro!” ~ Alan Partridge.

I use to think that being a bodyguard was really cool, but this video just explains the absolute details of the reality of this job...

wise words from a wise man

Great Pro tip☑️

He should be an operator on warzone lol.

The principal's bodyguard starring Ryan Gosling and Denzel Washington.

ight yo the signal with the hands so tuff 😭🤣

Interesting 🍿

A intelligent man

Can’t help but picture him as the hunter from Jumanji (the first one with Robin Williams, aka the good one)

I have that same flashlight!!
