Hollywood's Biggest Stars And The Guards Who Protect Them

Mark Billingham is Tom Cruise's ultimate protector. The bodyguard (pictured above) remembers one interesting story about when Cruise was rushed by a "fan" and Billingham was there to intercept... 

"With Tom under one arm and the suspected attacker under the other, I pushed towards the door, and we fell inside the hotel doorway. It was all reactive. I looked around to check Tom was OK, but something didn't add up. Tom was smiling. But he wasn't smiling at me. He was smiling at the person I had under the other arm. I turned and realized that under my other arm was one of the world's best-known actresses..." He was talking about Penelope Cruz. Whoops!
