See Lady Gaga's bodyguards in action

If you’re hoping to get Lady Gaga’s autograph, we suggest asking from afar.

Otherwise you might end up face down on the floor, like the man her bodyguards restrained in the lobby of a Bucharest, Romania, hotel.

The fan entered the hotel through a revolving door while Gaga was on her way out an adjacent exit. Before he could ask the pop star for her signature - assuming that’s why he was holding a pen and paper - her bodyguards had him on the ground.

At least we can rest easy knowing Gaga is well protected.

    That fan was a moron and deserved to be thrown to the ground. Look at his weird self dressed like a little boy w/ a hip sack. Dude was creepy! Great job body guards.

      Both guards left charge to handle threat....not smart. For a moment they both had back to Gaga. If you need a better service give us a call.

    Seems the real Lady Gaga seems fine and not the weird one that keeps calling almost subliminal hypnotic almost everyday in Brossard Quebec lile Kesha or Kim Kishardian Does. If fake could be Ubisoft avatars instead.
    If a little true, Odd CNN didn't check on this odd insider like story almost little is known about in the USA and elsewhere.

    Guy was obviously a nut job to want her autograph. Probably only listened to her music 24/7 and fried his tiny brain. Bodyguard should've snapped his neck.

    Seems no one noticed, but the bodyguard used a sort of punchdrunk move, where he slapped the man's ear to cause him to fall down immediately. Really smooth.

    the way he charged at her, he deserved it. how'd they know he wasn't trying to stab her in some fit of obsessed, Jodie Foster type love? If someone can jump a tennis court and stab Monica Seles, why not her? Could have been an Anti Gay protester for her music. Why take chances, it's what they are paid to do. protect her.

    Though the fan is a dimwit, he did not deserve that. If the fan touches her, then the guards can have at it. But he did not touch her, threaten her or anything other than rush towards her looking for an autograph. Block him, yes. Body slam him to the floor, no. She is a d-bag singer , not a world leader. She deserves to pay a big settlement to the fan when he sues.

      Great points. Let's wait until the idiots 'touch' her before do something. Makes as much sense as '...let's not use protection...let's wait until we get HIV before we do something...'
