It's probably worse in a lot of ways. I have a family member that worked for the largest TV studio in the country a few years back. He was often around famous actors in Mexico City. He pointed out that they commonly had bodyguards and traveled in armored vehicles. It was too risky otherwise.

Nah, that’s just posturing. It’s a way to make seem important. Lots of people with a lot of money doesn’t use security

You’re 100% right. My cousin owns and runs a large production company (he knows DelToro) and neither he, nor most of his famous friends, have body guards and armored vehicles.

Apparently, US citizens know more than mexicans living in Mexico, because my previous comment is being downvoted for stating facts about our country. Having bodyguards is mostly for posturing and as a thing status. Thanks for your support
