Did you know?: Man dives under star’s dress on Cannes red carpet
The man was later identified as Vitalii Sediuk, a Ukrainian prankster known for such stunts.
Ferrera didn’t seem perturbed on the carpet and was in good spirits at the movie’s after-party, laughing with guests and taking pictures.
A man rushed onto the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and dove beneath the dress of actor America Ferrera.
Security officials quickly pulled the man away as he tried to hide under Ferrera’s voluminous gown before the Friday premiere of How to Train Your Dragon 2.
It was something very strange and bizarre to occur considering the red carpet’s strict propriety. The man was later identified as Vitalii Sediuk, a Ukrainian prankster known for such stunts. In 2012, actor Will Smith slapped Sediuk when the man tried to kiss the actor on the lips at a Moscow event promoting Men in Black III.
Ferrera didn’t seem perturbed on the carpet and was in good spirits at the movie’s after-party, laughing with guests and taking pictures. “Its fine, I’m over it,” said Ferrera on the occasion.
The former Ugly Betty star was on her way into the Palais des Festivals for the world premiere of the DreamWorks animated sequel.
Festival organisers didn’t immediately return messages to The Associated Press about the incident, reported Deccan Chronicle.
