Thanksgiving weekend brought a bounty of things for which to be thankful.

But one hunk of meat has been making people express multitudes of gratitude. And he’s no turkey.

Meet Adele’s hot bodyguard Peter Van der Veen, who is protecting the 27-year-old songstress as she promotes her sizzling new album “25.”

Before he brought the heat to Adele, the former holder of the Mr. Europe bodybuilding title also protected Lady Gaga. But Van der Veen isn’t the first smoking hot security agent to guard a celebrity body.

In June, a doggy-carrying hunk walking next to Jennifer Lawrence made headlines — and had hearts fluttering. That man would be Greg Lenz, the clean-cut 33-year-old who put the hunger in “Hunger Games.” Sadly, the former model-turned-minder is married to a physician’s assistant.

Julius de Boer has been a familiar fixture next to the “Crazy in Love” singer since 2008. He was the one who pulled Solange off Jay Z during the infamous post-Met Gala elevator attack of 2014. Jay Z was reportedly looking to get rid of the hulking Dutchman after rumors swirled that Queen Bey, 34, and de Boer were having an affair. But the pair seem to still be on good working terms, with Jay Z even calling out a paparazzi who pushed de Boer.

The longtime protector of Kim Kardashian and other members of her clan, Pascal Duvier looks like he was pulled out of an action blockbuster. The muscle-bound German, who reportedly eats 18 egg whites a day, is virtually a Kardashian shadow. And the father of two beautiful young daughters — who is rarely seen without his trademark fanny pack — embodies the spotlight-loving ethos of his clients. He has 27,000 followers of

his own on Instagram

and prolifically posts photos with the famous family.

Given the intimacy that comes with a bodyguard-client relationship, sometimes things are bound to veer into the romance department (just like Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston in the movie “The Bodyguard”). That’s what happened with Heidi Klum and her muscle, Martin Kirsten. Shortly after splitting with singer Seal in 2012, the “Project Runway” star hooked up with the handsome Kirsten. The pair dated for 18 months while he still looked after Heidi and her four kids.

When they broke up

, she reportedly showered him with gifts including money and a home, so he’d keep his mouth shut.
