A bodyguard is a person who protects someone important, such as a celebrity or government official, from harm, danger, or attack. They may provide physical protection by standing near the person they are guarding and watching for any potential threats. Bodyguards can also drive the person they are guarding in their car to ensure that they arrive safely at their destination. In some cases, bodyguards may also be responsible for screening people who want to meet with the person they are protecting or monitoring their surroundings for suspicious activity.
