Michael Jackson's bodyguard shares 'impossible' moments as crazed fans made astonishing attempts to get close

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson's former bodyguard Simon Newton has opened up about his 'impossible' time working with the late superstar, as well as other stars including Bella Hadid.

Former celebrity bodyguard Simon Newton has spilled the beans on what it was like to work for the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, labelling the experience as 'impossible'. In an exclusive chat with us in Cannes during the glitzy film festival, Simon recounted a hair-raising moment when overzealous fans tried to get close to Michael by crawling through his legs, which he found quite 'scary' for the pop legend. However, these days, Simon is dabbling in acting and has recently returned to basics by training at drama school - something he describes as 'scarier' than the life-threatening work in the army and in bodyguarding he has done previously.
