Every now and then, the people tasked with protecting the actors end up stealing some of that spotlight. Let's take a look at famous celebrity bodyguards who became famous.
Shera
Who doesn't know Shera? The Indian celebrity bodyguard shares a special bond with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Born Gurmeet Singh Jolly, he has been associated with Khan for around three decades and has become a celebrity in his own right.
Initially, Shera was a competitive bodybuilder who earned recognition in Mumbai’s bodybuilding circuit. He has expanded his profile by launching his own security company, making cameo appearances, and more.

Tim Chung was often spotted alongside Kylie Jenner. He was a former police officer and model who quickly became an internet sensation.

At the time, his Instagram account used to be flooded with messages and comments, and fans couldn't stop admiring his looks.
