Bodyguard
Hi,
What's the difference between a bodyguard and a minder?
Thank you very much.

In the contexts where I've seen these words used, a bodyguard is there to protect you from any harm that may be directed at you, whereas a minder is employed by a government entity to escort you everywhere you go within a country to make sure that you don't do anything that the state does not want you to do, such as photograph certain things or talk to certain people.

0Hi CJ,
Can the word 'minder' sometimes also mean bodyguard? And Can I use minder instead of bodyguard to mean the same thing?
"The famous movie star employed a minder to protect him."
Does minder work here?
Thank you very much.
