Twitter Just Fell in Love with Jennifer Lawrence’s Smoking Hot Bodyguard - Photo

He’s tall, handsome, strong and attentive to her dog Pippi

The Internet has no chill, especially when there’s a hot man or a hot woman involved. Jennifer Lawrence’s new and (admittedly) insanely hot bodyguard got to find that out for himself, after he became an overnight sensation when photos of him with his famous client emerged online.

Twitter is still raving mad about “Jennifer Lawrence’s gorgeous / hot bodyguard” as we speak, and the samples embedded at the end of this article will undoubtedly confirm that. From the looks of it, this won’t die down too soon.

Jennifer Lawrence and her hot new bodyguard

The first photos of the Oscar-winning actress and a mystery, tall and handsome man who was clearly her bodyguard emerged online a couple of days ago, when the pair stepped out in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood and the paparazzi snapped photos of them.

Apparently, Jennifer is shopping for an apartment there. Other bodyguards were also on hand, but the Internet only had eyes for this guy, for the obvious reasons.

The next day, they were seen out and about again, this time with the hot guy carrying Jennifer’s dog Pippi. If there’s one thing the Internet can’t resist is the deadly combo of a hot man and a cute pup, so the hot bodyguard became the latest viral star.

Hot bodyguard has been identified

That Jennifer has a hot bodyguard (her second in less than a year, after Justin Riblet) is the good news. The bad news is that Us Weekly has managed to identify him and, in the process, learned that he is a married man.

So all those fans hoping for a romance along the lines of the one in the famous Whitney Houston & Kevin Costner film, sad news: it’s not going to happen.

The publication identifies the handsome guy as Greg Lenz and claims that his good looks played an important part in him landing the gig of protecting one of the most famous and beloved young actresses of the day.

“Jennifer likes the hot ones!” says one spy. Of course, that doesn’t mean anything more is going to happen. Just think of it this way: if you had the chance and the money to hire very competent people who also happen to look like genuine heartbreakers, wouldn’t you surround yourself with them?

Apparently, for Jennifer, the answer is “yes.”
