If you like being around celebrities, maybe you should consider a job in security. 

Just look at this bodyguard, who couldn't hide how happy he was to breathe the same air as Chinese actress Liu Yifei at work recently.

The 36-year-old Mulan star was recently at an event for skincare brand Shiseido at a mall in Sanya, China. 

Needless to say, Yifei, who is the brand's global ambassador, had tons of fans swarming around the mall just to catch a glimpse of her. 

In a video circulating online, the bodyguard, who was trying to maintain order and hold back fans, was seen turning his head around to gawk at the star, his mouth left wide open as if he was stunned by her beauty. 

Netizens were tickled by the bodyguard's adorably genuine reaction.

"The way the bodyguard looked at Liu Yifei is exactly how I would too [if I got to see her]," said one netizen. 

So many fans but the lucky bodyguard got to see her from just a few steps away

She looked so good, no wonder the bodyguard couldn't help but stare

Girls, get yourself a man who would look this happy to see you
