Of course ^^those lions were wild, obviously hungry, and saw humans as a food source, while this guy's lions (His name is Kevin Richardson, lives in South Africa) were raised from birth as pets and are fed a nice diet of horse and cow meat. They may not see him as a threat or direct food source, and possibly don't even know that killing is typically required for their next meal, but all it takes is for one cat to have a bad day and "play" rougher than normal and he's toast, whether he gets eaten or not.
