00:00Being a famous tween actor was incredible.
00:03Red carpets, Hollywood parties, and private jets.
00:06And fans would beg for my autograph.
00:08And my parents were super supportive.
00:10That is, until they started getting calls
00:13from an unknown number threatening to kidnap me.
00:16I'm Michaela's biggest fan, and I want her all to myself.
00:19No one will ever see her again.
00:21So my life changed forever when I was on the set of my latest
00:25movie with my parents, my older sister Jackie,
00:27and her boyfriend Ethan, who worshipped
00:29the ground she walked on.
00:30That night, filming had just finished,
00:32and I needed to run back to my trailer.
00:34I'll be right back.
00:35I need to get my backpack.
00:37OK, honey, but hurry back so we can get home.
00:39It's really late.
00:40I'll go with you, Mick.
00:41But when the door opened, a masked figure
00:43jumped out of the darkness and grabbed my arm.
00:45Jackie smashed a chair over his head, and we both ran out.
00:49The police came, but they couldn't
00:50find a trace of the attacker.
00:52When we got home, we had a family meeting.
00:54I think Michaela needs to stop acting.
00:56It's just too dangerous.
00:58I agree.
00:59It's time she had a normal life.
01:00And just like that, my acting career was over.
01:03I was devastated.
01:05Sorry, I'm being rude.
01:06I'm Michaela, and I never would have
01:08guessed that five years after that psycho fan ruined my life,
01:12I would get a second chance.
01:14But before that, please hit like and subscribe.
01:16I had a pretty normal life those years as a teenager.
01:19I mean, my parents owned a top law firm,
01:21so we were really rich and lived in a mansion
01:24on a canal with a huge yacht parked in our backyard.
01:27But I went to a regular high school,
01:29and everyone treated me like any other really pretty girl.
01:32That is, except for Marco, my rich, gorgeous,
01:35but very possessive boyfriend.
01:37He was the mayor's son, so he considered himself
01:39a celebrity.
01:41One night, when we were partying on my family's yacht,
01:43a speedboat pulled up, and a very handsome man
01:46yelled my name.
01:47Michaela!
01:48Michaela!
01:49Marco immediately got jealous and jumped in front of me.
01:52What do you want, creep?
01:53Michaela, it's me, Kevin, your old agent.
01:56I pushed past Marco and jumped down onto the speedboat.
01:59I have incredible news.
02:00You just got an offer for the lead role
02:02in the biggest new action franchise of the decade.
02:05Wait, what?
02:06Me?
02:07I haven't acted in five years.
02:08The director was a huge fan of yours
02:10and wrote the part especially for you.
02:12I tried to speak, but I couldn't find the words.
02:15Unfortunately, Marco jumped onto the boat and found some.
02:18She's not interested, so why don't you just buzz off?
02:21I was furious and shoved him overboard.
02:24Don't speak for me.
02:25I've been dreaming about this for years.
02:27I'll take it.
02:28Then go find a new boyfriend.
02:30He always threw a tantrum when I didn't
02:32do exactly what he wanted, but he came
02:34crawling back to apologize.
02:36When word got out that I was going to be the lead
02:38in the big new action movie, all the magazines
02:41wanted to interview me.
02:42The paparazzi fought to take my picture,
02:44and invites to the big Hollywood parties started piling up.
02:47I was a star again, and I couldn't be happier.
02:50But then one night, I looked out my window
02:52and nearly froze in terror.
02:54Standing outside was the masked figure
02:56who tried to kidnap me.
02:58He pointed right at me.
02:59I screamed, but when my parents ran into the room, he was gone.
03:03My phone buzzed.
03:04A message from an unknown number said,
03:06I'm coming to get you, Michaela, your biggest fan.
03:09The next day, we had a family meeting.
03:11Actually, it was more like an intervention.
03:14My older sister Jackie was there with Ethan,
03:16who was still as obsessed with her as he was before.
03:19She was four years older than me, but we were still close.
03:22My parents even called Marco.
03:24Michaela, you can't risk doing this movie.
03:26It's too dangerous.
03:27Come on, honey.
03:28Rub my shoulders harder.
03:30But my hands are getting tired.
03:32Do you want me to be stressed?
03:34Marco, come on.
03:35Back me up here.
03:36You know how important this is to me.
03:38Babes, I agree with your sister.
03:40Besides, why do you need to act when you've got me?
03:42Sweetheart, your mother and I want
03:44you to call the director and tell him
03:46you aren't going to take the role.
03:47It's not worth it to risk your life.
03:49I'm not giving up on my dream again
03:51because of one insane fan.
03:53I'm 17 now.
03:54I can defend myself.
03:56But my parents weren't buying it, and I was still a minor.
03:58So if they wanted me to quit, I had no choice.
04:01I had to do something fast.
04:03I hired a bodyguard.
04:04What?
04:05What?
04:06What?
04:06What?
04:07It just came out.
04:08But it worked.
04:09My parents agreed to let me keep the role,
04:10only they wanted to meet my new bodyguard, who didn't exist.
04:14So now I had to find one and fast.
04:16I was in a full-on panic.
04:18There was no way I was going to have some sunglasses-wearing,
04:21ultra-serious police FBI soldier guy following me around
04:24everywhere I went, telling me what to do.
04:27And then I had a brilliant idea.
04:29Just as I was going to play a teenage secret agent
04:32in a movie, I would hire an actor to play my bodyguard.
04:35I ran to a local acting studio and looked in the window.
04:39There, sitting in the back of the room,
04:40I saw him, my pretend bodyguard.
04:43He was tall, handsome, and looked like a complete jerk.
04:47Perfect.
04:47I hired him on the spot.
04:49His name was Jasper.
04:50And it turns out, he was as rude and arrogant as he looked.
04:53Sure, I'll be your bodyguard.
04:55But I want to be paid up front.
04:56Sure, no problem.
04:58And since I'm an incredible actor,
05:00I don't want any advice or notes from you
05:02on how to play the part.
05:03Understood?
05:04Wow.
05:05OK, whatever.
05:06But we have to go right now and convince my parents
05:09that you're actually a bodyguard and not some out-of-work actor
05:12playing one.
05:13OK?
05:14Easy peasy.
05:15I took him to Armani and bought him a suit and sunglasses.
05:17When he stepped out of the dressing room,
05:19he looked exactly like a bodyguard.
05:21And also, very, very hot.
05:24I took him home to meet everyone.
05:25I was terrified.
05:26If they discovered the truth, my dream was as good as dead.
05:29Not to mention the fact that I would
05:31be grounded for the next year.
05:33Everyone, I want you to meet Jasper, my bodyguard.
05:36It's nice to meet you, Jasper.
05:38Nice to meet you, ma'am.
05:39OK, he's believable.
05:41That's good.
05:42Are you confident you can protect our daughter
05:44from this kidnapper?
05:45Kidnapper?
05:46Crap.
05:47I forgot to mention that part.
05:48That's it.
05:49Party's over.
05:49Stick a fork in me.
05:51I'm-
05:51I eat kidnappers for breakfast, sir.
05:54Wow, impressive rebound.
05:55Listen, Mick, even with Jasper protecting you,
05:58I think it's still too dangerous.
06:00She's in good hands.
06:01Nothing will happen to her as long as I'm around.
06:04But Marco wasn't happy.
06:05He knew he wouldn't be when he saw the specimen
06:07that I had just brought home.
06:09How come you never told me you hired a bodyguard?
06:11I mean, you never even mentioned it.
06:13It's like you just met him today.
06:14Today?
06:15Don't be ridiculous.
06:17And then I did what I knew would calm Marco down.
06:19I wrapped my arms around him and told him how amazing he was.
06:23You're just so protective.
06:24I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be worried.
06:27Well, I guess I understand.
06:29Just when I thought we made it, I saw a big roach
06:32crawl across the floor.
06:33Jasper apparently saw it too because he screamed
06:36and jumped on the couch.
06:38Everyone just stared at him.
06:39I thought fast and copied him.
06:41That's what Jasper taught me to do if I saw the kidnapper.
06:43It would alert everyone around me.
06:46Good job, Michaela, just like I taught you.
06:48Everyone seemed to buy it, except for Marco.
06:51He just stared at Jasper as if he knew something was off,
06:54which there clearly was.
06:56OK, well, Jasper and I need to run.
06:58I have meetings with the costume designer, wardrobe,
07:00and fighting coach, and he needs to be there to protect me.
07:03Jasper and I argued the entire day.
07:05While I was getting fitted for my wardrobe,
07:07I can't believe you didn't tell me that you were
07:09afraid of tiny insects.
07:10I can't believe you didn't tell me you were being
07:13hunted by an actual kidnapper.
07:15While I was doing a camera test in the studio.
07:17I'm not getting paid enough for this.
07:19For what?
07:20Standing around doing nothing?
07:21The police will probably catch the guy very soon,
07:23and you and I will never have to see each other again.
07:26I can't wait for that.
07:28Me neither.
07:29While I was training with the fighting coach,
07:30what happens if the kidnapper shows up?
07:32Are you going to scream and jump on a couch?
07:35Maybe you should be training here with me.
07:37I'm not a real bodyguard.
07:38I'm an actor.
07:40If you wanted a person who could actually protect you,
07:41you should have hired one.
07:43I wasn't paying attention, and my fighting coach
07:45accidentally kicked me in the face.
07:47As I fell backward, Jasper dove and caught me
07:49before my head hit the floor.
07:51For a moment, we looked into each other's eyes
07:53before he dropped me.
07:55That's going to cost you extra.
07:56Over the next couple of weeks at school,
07:58Jasper followed me around, flirting with all the girls.
08:01I had to pull him aside and remind him
08:03that he was on the clock.
08:05Can you please act like my bodyguard
08:07and not some hormone-overloaded teenager?
08:09I told you no acting notes.
08:11Well, maybe if you started acting,
08:13I wouldn't have to give you notes.
08:15How about I quit right now, and then you
08:17won't have to worry about it?
08:18To keep up appearances, I even had him come out
08:20on dates with me and Marco, whether it
08:22was a picnic in the park, go-kart racing,
08:25or solving an escape room.
08:26I can't take this anymore, Michaela.
08:28He's with us everywhere we go.
08:30Yeah, because he's my bodyguard, duh.
08:32A bodyguard who's terrified of bugs?
08:34I am not terrified of bugs.
08:36Oh, yeah?
08:38How about when you screamed when the bee landed
08:39on you on the roller coaster, or the crazy dance
08:42you did when the caterpillar crawled on your leg
08:44at the park, or when you dove into the water when the dragon
08:47fly flew by our boat on the lake?
08:49Leave him alone, Marco.
08:50I hired him to protect me from people, not insects.
08:53There's something fishy going on here,
08:55and I don't think you're telling me or your family the truth.
08:58And then he stormed off.
08:59He was right, and I felt terrible.
09:01Jasper, I'm a terrible person.
09:03Maybe this isn't worth it.
09:05I should just give up this stupid role.
09:06It's not worth deceiving the people I care about most.
09:09All they want is for me to be safe.
09:11If you want my opinion, Marco is a jerk.
09:14He acts like you're his property,
09:15and your parents are being selfish.
09:17This is your dream.
09:18I turned to Jasper and just exploded.
09:21No, I don't want your stupid opinion.
09:23This job is a piece of cake, and you haven't taken
09:26it seriously for one second.
09:28You call yourself an actor?
09:29Ha, you couldn't act your way out of a paper bag.
09:31I'm done with this, and I'm done with you.
09:34You're fired.
09:35Jasper didn't say anything, and he always had a response.
09:38He actually looked hurt.
09:39He just nodded and walked away.
09:41I started feeling guilty, but I knew that he deserved it.
09:44I mean, he did, right?
09:46How dare he insult my boyfriend and my family?
09:48That night, my sister Jackie took me out to dinner.
09:51I decided to come clean and tell her the truth.
09:53I can't believe Jasper was an actor.
09:55He hadn't me fooled.
09:56He did?
09:57Totally.
09:58But now that you mention it, he's too handsome
10:00to be a bodyguard.
10:02Wowzer.
10:03But he's definitely a good actor.
10:04I hope he gets his big break someday.
10:06Yeah, me too.
10:07Just don't tell Mom and Dad about this, OK?
10:09I'm supposed to sign the contract for the role tomorrow,
10:11but I think I'm going to tell the director
10:13that I'm turning it down.
10:15I think that's smart, Micaela.
10:16That crazy fan is still out there,
10:19and he left you alone after you quit acting the first time.
10:21You're right.
10:23I'm going to sleep on it tonight and then make my final decision
10:25in the morning.
10:26Maybe I'm just not meant to be on the big screen.
10:28I hugged her and went home.
10:30I was about to give up on my dream for the second time,
10:32but I was doing it for the people I loved most.
10:35That night, I woke up to the sound
10:36of something hitting my window.
10:38I looked outside, but nobody was there.
10:40I'm not afraid of you.
10:42And then a rock hit the window, cracking the glass.
10:45All the emotions I was feeling came boiling up,
10:48and I flew into a rage.
10:49I grabbed my tennis racket, ran down the stairs,
10:52and burst outside.
10:53You want a piece of me?
10:54Come on.
10:55I'm right here.
10:56I stood there, ready to crush anybody that came at me.
10:58Then all of a sudden, the masked figure
11:00stepped out of the darkness.
11:02I froze in panic.
11:03The racket fell out of my hand.
11:05Then I turned and saw a second masked figure behind me.
11:08Before I could scream, someone sprinted from the darkness
11:11and tackled the one in front of me.
11:13The hero looked up at me.
11:14It was Jasper.
11:15The other masked figure tried to run,
11:17but Jasper grabbed the tennis racket and threw it.
11:19It spun through the air and hit the figure in the head,
11:22causing him to run right into a tree
11:24and fall backward unconscious.
11:26Are you OK?
11:27Yes, but how?
11:28I fired you and said those horrible things.
11:31I know, but I was worried about you,
11:32so I've been keeping watch from a distance.
11:34And then Jasper pulled the hood off the figure.
11:37It was Ethan.
11:38I was speechless.
11:39Ethan spilled the beans that Jackie
11:41was behind the crazy kidnapper fan scheme
11:43and the trailer incident.
11:45When Jackie and I went to my trailer that day,
11:47Ethan snuck away, put on the mask,
11:49and went in the back door.
11:50Jackie was waiting in her car outside
11:52but came running into the yard when
11:54Ethan started yelling her name.
11:56Jackie, how could you?
11:57Since you were a kid, you got all the attention.
12:00Mikayla is so amazing.
12:02Mikayla is so talented.
12:04Mikayla is so beautiful.
12:06Nobody ever paid attention to me.
12:08I understand.
12:09Wait, you do?
12:10That day you came to set, when Ethan
12:12pretended to be my crazed fan, that was your 16th birthday.
12:16Nobody even remembered.
12:18You should have had a big party that day,
12:20but instead you were there on my set for my movie
12:23with everyone celebrating me.
12:25You got robbed of your childhood so I could have mine.
12:28I don't blame you for being angry.
12:30I would be too.
12:31Are you forgiving me after everything I've done to you?
12:35Yes.
12:36You're still my big sister, and I love you.
12:38And then she burst out in tears and grabbed me
12:40into the tightest hug I've ever had.
12:43And then the second figure stood up, grabbing his head.
12:46It was Marco.
12:47Ouch.
12:48And like always, he expected my forgiveness.
12:51Come on, babe.
12:52You forgave Jackie, so you need to forgive me.
12:55I need to forgive you?
12:57Yes, you need to forgive me.
12:59I love you.
13:00You know that.
13:01Jasper is right.
13:02You just love me as long as you can control me.
13:05I turned to my hero, Jasper.
13:07Now it's my turn.
13:08Can you?
13:09After you forgave Jackie and your parents,
13:11how could I not forgive you?
13:12That is, until Marco burst out in tears and tried to run off.
13:16But he tripped and ran into the tree,
13:18knocking himself out again.
13:20I signed my contract and spent the next few months
13:22filming with the most incredible co-star anyone could ask for.
13:26I was able to convince the director to audition
13:29Jasper for the role, and he loved him.
13:31The movie was a huge hit, and Jasper and I
13:34became the most talked about Hollywood couple in town.
13:36Three sequels and five years later, we got married,
13:39and Jackie was my maid of honor.
