In a prank gone bad, Justin Timberlake’s security had to physically pull a man off of his leg as he and wife of 7 years Jessica Biel were leaving their car and entering the Louis Vuitton show during the last day of Paris’ Fashion Week.
Notorious celebrity prankster Vitalli Sediuk is once again behind this ambush, but no one seems quite clear if it’s supposed to be funny or just sad.
On the last day of Paris Fashion Week, Justin Timberlake and his wife were trying to watch one of the last shows. As they exited their car, Vitalli Sediuk attacked the pop star.
He grabbed ahold of Timberlake’s right leg and clung to him much like a petulant child would in a TV sitcom to their parents. Biel looked confused holding Timberlake’s hand as he hopped along, trying to stay upright as security struggled to pry Sediuk off of him.
Timberlake’s rep didn’t comment, but he clearly looks displeased as he continues inside.
Sediuk isn’t the first prankster to target Paris Fashion Week, believe it or not. Earlier this week French prankster Marie S’Infiltre crashed the Chanel runway show.
Deciding that she wanted a “challenge”, according to her Instagram page, she snuck backstage and simply walked the runway as models were showing off the latest Chanel has to offer. Supermodel Gigi Hadid physically escorted S’Infiltre from the catwalk, and none too politely either.
S’Infiltre also crashed the Etam show, walking on stage in a bathing suit, but that wasn’t enough for her. Bigger meant Chanel, one of the biggest shows that week.
This is a minor blip in the celebrity pranking career of Sediuk, who has made a confusing career of being awkward in public spaces.
In 2016, Sediuk grabbed Gigi Hadid, savior to Chanel, from behind and lifted her on the streets of Milan just after a fashion show. That same year, he attempted to kiss Kim Kardashian West’s behind during another Paris Fashion Show stunt, though her security made quick work of him.
In 2014 he had several other major incidents that landed him in the public eye. He attempted to crawl under America Ferrera’s puffy, princess-like dress at the Cannes Film Festival opening of How To Train Your Dragon 2, and tried to punch Brad Pitt at the Maleficent opening.
He also hugged Bradley Cooper’s crotch at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and tried to do the same thing to Leonardo DiCaprio at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, but security was able to stop him.
It’s unclear what these pranksters get out of this, other than likes on social media and a passing mention in the news. S’Infiltre alone has an impressive 218,000 followers on Instagram, so clearly, some people appreciate her humor.
