Four ex-SAS men are protecting Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe after he received a death threat from a crazed fan.
The actor, 18, is being protected at all times by his crack team of bodyguards while he is shooting the latest instalment of the fantasy blockbuster Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Studio bosses at Warner Bros, who produce the movie, have gone to extreme lengths to protect their teen star since receiving the threat. The Sun claim the former SAS men even swap vehicles and use dummy cars when they have to get Radcliffe to the studio. The nature of the threat is still unclear.
An insider told the newspaper, "There is a real concern for Daniel's welfare. The bigwigs haven't said what has been going on. It's all hush hush - but security has been massively ramped up.
"This isn't about keeping an eye out for the paparazzi - these guys are looking for something far more sinister."
It's not the first time Radcliffe and his young co-stars has been pestered by over zealous fans. Four years ago he was propositioned to by a naked American woman, while his co-star Emma Watson had to have a bodyguard assigned to her last year after a stalker gatecrashed her school.
