'Special Forces' star Mark 'Billy' Billingham is talking his new FOX competition series, life as a bodyguard to the stars and more.
"I'll be very honest with you, people look at that job and think, 'Wow, it's glamorous, you're with these stars.' It's not like that at all," Billingham revealed."It's the timelines you have to work.
Billingham, who worked as a bodyguard for Jolie and Pitt for nearly two years, said it was a"wonderful" job, but a tough one, adding that you rarely got any time off while protecting the former couple. "And they often said to me, 'Well, Billy, why do I need you? Nothing really happens,'" he continued."Because if I sit you down, and tell you why nothing really happens, it's because I'm doing my job. There are things going on that you don't see, and you don't need to see, and you don't need to know about, so, it's hard work. It's not glamorous, it's long hours and it's a big sacrifice, but it's worth it.
While it's a show to the viewers, Billingham said he calls it a course for the celebs that participate, because that's exactly how he runs it.
