Hudson Williams thanks his bodyguard after viral Paris confrontation

Hudson Williams and his bodyguard Brad

Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams has paid tribute to his bodyguard, days after a viral video showed him confronting autograph sellers in Paris.

In footage which spread on social media, the actor could be seen asking a group of men to stop following him, as they handed him images to sign. He refused, telling them: “You’re not fans.”

He could be seen attempting to light a photo on fire before walking away, before one of the men continued to follow him and started shouting at him.

Since then, Williams reshared a post which his bodyguard Brad had shared. In the photo, the two men could be seen looking casual as they threw up a peace sign for the camera.

Over the top, the Shane Hollander star wrote: “Khoya,” which is reportedly a slang Arabic term meaning “my brother”.

The initial post from Brad also included a black and white image of the pair walking through a museum.

He wrote: “Thank you for your trust and for welcoming me to your team.” Brad also tagged Williams’ celebrated makeup artist Aika Flores, who was behind his iconic Met Gala look, and Leilani Houston, Williams’ agent.

His comments section was full of Williams’ fans thanking him for keeping the rising star safe on his travels.

Williams is set to return to Canada to film Heated Rivalry season two, which is due to go into production this month.

The second season will follow his character, Shane, and Connor Storrie’s Ilya Rozanov as they navigate a secret romance while being star hockey players.

The show is based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novel series, with Shane and Ilya’s story continued in book six, The Long Game.
