LL Cool J showed us all that the keeping his body in shape isn’t just for show. A burglar broke into his L.A. home and LL showed him he wasn’t about that life. He took the crook down with his bare hands.

According to TMZ:

According to law enforcement sources … the suspect entered LL’s Los Angeles area house around 2AM, but unfortunately for him the actor/rapper/badass was home.

We’re told LL heard some commotion downstairs, went to check it out … and found the intruder.

Sources say the intruder had tripped LL’s alarm system, but the “NCIS Los Angeles” star — who is a physical beast — decided to go hand-to-hand combat on the dude … and managed to detain him until LAPD arrived a few minutes later to make the arrest.

We’re told LL is okay, but the suspect — who will be booked for burglary — suffered a few bruises.

Now that’s some sexy ish for your man to defend his home like that. I bet his wife served him up that night… He’s definitely a protector for his family and his home. LL might not be a thug, but he’s definitely BAD!!!
