Security / Bodyguard

Is there actually an expectation that you'd throw yourself in front of a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?

Absolutely not. You won't find me abandoning the principal to save my own ass if bullets did start flying, but that stems from a personal sense of duty rather than any contractual obligation. The bright side is that your average celebrity, no matter how famous, is a relatively low risk for assassination. Nightclub doormen and armored car guys are much more likely to be shot at.

What's the strangest request that a client's made?

Why are bodyguards fat? I get that want to look imposing, but don't you want a fast / agile guy protecting you?

Does anyone ever hire you not because they ACTUALLY fear for their safety but just because they think having a bodyguard is a status symbol?
