Angelina eyes buff bodyguard

Angelina Jolie’s relationship with Brad Pitt may be under strain over claims that she’s fallen for her British bodyguard. Now magazine in the UK reports that the actress has forged such a close friendship with her security guard , known only as Billy, that she even calls him by the pet name “Chisel” because of his toned torso.

Until recently, Billy, 35, was part of the Special Air Service . As an ex-commando, he is super-fit and lifts weights and runs for at least an hour a day. “Brad and Angie trust him with their lives and the lives of their children,” an insider told Now. “But Brad worries that Angie could be developing too close a bond with the new security guy.” When the 32-year-old mother of four fainted on the set of The Changeling last month, it was Billy — not Pitt — who was there for her.

Two and a half weeks ago, Billy escorted Jolie to a screening of her movie A Mighty Heart in Los Angeles. Body language expert Glenn Wilson told Now that while there was no evidence of anything improper, pictures showed the pair are very relaxed and happy in each other’s company. “Billy’s not behaving like a minion or an employee, so it’s clear that they’re on very good terms and find each other interesting,” he said.
