Hollywood's Biggest Stars And The Guards Who Protect Them

Adele

Adele quickly rose to stardom as a young 21-year-old. With no real media training or grasp on how to deal with such quick fame, her team quickly hired one of the best bodyguards in Europe: Peter Van Der Veen. He is a former Dutch police officer who holds the 2005 title of Mister Europe (a European bodybuilding contest). Van Der Veen was also a bodyguard for Lady Gaga.
