Simon recently quit the world of personal protection to chase a career in acting, but during his 17 years in security he worked with some of the worlds most famous names.

Despite looking a little intimidating when on duty, I can confirm Simon is a total joy and really very friendly - over Zoom we covered all sorts… from the planning that goes into a body guard shift, why his dress sense landed him a profile piece in Vogue Magazine and why you can be a security guard even if you're 5'4.
