Clif Kosterman Before Supernatural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clif Kosterman has been the bodyguard for Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles for the past 14 years. Obviously a lot has happened in that time and we have many stories to tell. It has been exciting but Clif was a bodyguard long before J and J got out of highschool and he had some interesting clients, such as, Sharon Stone, Kurt Russell and Selena Gomez. He has many, many interesting stories to tell. We are going to tell you those stories but, first, we are going to give you some background. Clif is big and strong and he was born big and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was an affable and unusual child. At age three, it was already clear he was going to be strong and athletic well above average. Some relatives and neighbours called him Bam Bam because he reminded them of the Flintstones’ boy.  He was a sturdy, blonde, bundle of trouble who generated some of the family’s favourite anecdotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1960s, children were not nearly as closely supervised as they are now. Clif had an explorer’s spirit and fear seldom occured to him. He was often being rescued because he had trapped himself somehow or someone had apprehended him in the midst of some good-natured bit of mayhem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not an exaggeration to say Clif would terrorize his mother. She\nhad four others to look after, and it was always a challenge to herd the cats,\nbut Clif was in his own separate category. If he found a snake squished in the\nroad, he just had to pick it up. When his mom called out for him to put it\ndown, he would chase her with it. More than once he fired up the garden hose\nand sprayed her with cold water, grinning. He would chase her and sometimes she\nwould scream, run back in the house and close the door. He would spray the door\nwith water or wack the door with the snake and his mom could do nothing but\nthreaten him through the door with “wait till your father gets home.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clif\u2019s mom once tied him to a piece of yard furniture, just trying to get some things done around the house and there was no fence. She used a short rope around his foot and tied the other end to a wooden two person bench, the sides of which were cut-outs of a swan. It was appropriately painted . A short time later, she looked out the window, as  did several neighbours, to see Clif dragging the heavy swan up the middle of the road, heading away from the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clif survived his childhood with both of his eyes (wore a patch for a\nwhile, though) no missing fingers, no horrendous burns… but he sure came\nclose, far too often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clif was always a happy kid. In fact, of his siblings Clif was the least likely to be involved in an argument with anyone. He was generally a quiet guy. When he was a young man, he participated in many sports and was good at them; hockey, football, rugby. He won bodybuilding and weightlifting trophies and was once a national karate champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
