oost people hire the local high-school kid, but Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes only want the best for their precious Suri. So when they decided she needed a babysitter recently, who did they hire for the job? None other than the same high-priced Hollywood bodyguard who’s protected the likes of Julia Roberts and Robert Pattinson, a heavyweight called Sheldon.
A source close to the couple says, “His name is Sheldon and he’s one of the best in the business. He’s an extremely respected, sought-after guard. He takes his job very seriously and gets paid very well.”
And while having a big, bad security guard might scare many people, four-year-old Suri is not fazed. “She’s very comfortable with him,” reports a second source. “Usually a bodyguard would carry a kid, but he doesn’t carry her, so she feels she’s very independent!”
