It is risky to say that Tulio Costa became as famous as international stars who come to Brazil. Among fans, he is recognized as the "security" of stars like Paul McCartney, Madonna, Tom Cruise and Hugh Jackman, who even calls him by name. The Rio civil police officer, a "cabinet" of 1,90m, this Rock in Rio did escort the Queen and will provide service for Katy Perry. Rihanna is already upset with him. "She wanted me to personally do security, but will be traveling with the Queen,"

Q. The Queen band only works with you in Brazil. How is that relationship?

A. They are calling me by name. I work for them for years and have a nice relationship. But I'm no friend of the members, did not speak after work. During, give tips on restaurants for dinner, tours. I even gave a hint of what to wear to Adam (Lambert, current lead singer) when he wanted to ride a bycicle here in Rio. I said it was a very hot place to walk with those cool clothes.

Q. If you could list the top five of the coolest famous, who would be in it?

A. Ricky Martin, Hugh Jackman (he even gave me birthday cake), Queen Latifah, Adam Lambert and Stevie Wonder.
