It's becoming a disturbingly familiar sight to see Vitalii Sediuk being carried off red carpets around the world.
The Ukrainian journalist, 25, was accused of attacking Brad Pitt at Wednesday night's Hollywood premiere of Maleficent. Pitt was at the premiere to support his longtime partner, Angelina Jolie , who stars in the Disney film.
Sediuk jumped over the barricade at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre and approached Pitt, reportedly slapping the actor. Sediuk was hauled off by security and booked on misdemeanor battery charges with Los Angeles police. Pitt was not hurt in the incident.
Sediuk was also dragged away from the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month after he crawled under America Ferrera 's dress at the How To Train Your Dragon 2 premiere. The bizarre scene was practically unheard of on the glamorous Cannes red carpet.
In January, Sediuk worked his way onto the red carpet for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and clutched onto the legs of actor Bradley Cooper . Cooper did his best to smile through the incident as he pulled the man off of his legs.
In February 2013, Sediuk infiltrated the Grammy Awards and was onstage when Adele received her award for best solo performance. Wearing a tuxedo, Sediuk murmured, "I love you, Adele" into the stage microphone before Jennifer Lopez glared him offstage.
Sediuk attempted to crash the Oscars in February 2013 in a swan dress carrying a bucket of Oscar replicas. He was taken away by police before he could enter the red carpet.
In May 2012, Sediuk messed with Men in Black 3 star Will Smith at this film's Moscow premiere. Sediuk appeared to try to kiss Smith on the lips from his reporter position on the carpet, earning a shove from the actor. "What the hell is your problem, buddy," Smith said before he walked away.
