Rachel Zegler Praised for Defending Bodyguard

Rachel Zegler, starring as Eva Perón in the London Palladium’s Evita, is being praised for her calm defense of her bodyguard, Danny, during a fan confrontation outside the theater. The incident occurred while Zegler was signing autographs, and she told the crowd that Danny was 'just doing his job' after a fan accused him of being too forceful, emphasizing the importance of security due to large, intimidating gatherings. Social media users highlighted Zegler's affectionate defense of her bodyguard and noted that her requirement for security stems from a history of harassment. The video of the exchange went viral on platforms like TikTok and X, generating millions of views and sparking widespread support. Zegler's performance in Evita, particularly her rendition of 'Don’t Cry for Me Argentina' from the theater balcony, has also received acclaim. Despite facing public scrutiny over previous roles in Snow White and The Hunger Games, Zegler is being recognized for her professionalism and kindness.
