Vitalii Sediuk the Hollywood Prankster attacks Brad Pitt-This guy is gonna kill someone really soon one day if they don't lock him up for a long time!
He is well known for stalking stars and making their lives embarassing and uncomfortable..among the notches on his bed post are Madonna and Will Smith.
Brad Pitt was attacked on Wednesday at the premiere of his fiance Angelina Jolie's film Maleficient atHollywood's El Capitan Theater. The 50-year-old actor was signing autographs when he was struck in the face by Vitalii Sediuk, who had jumped over metal barriers to get close to Pitt.
The 25-year-old attacker was immediately detained by security and wrestled to the floor before being handcuffed and placed under arrest by police. It is believed that Sediuk will be booked for misdemeanor battery.
While Pitt was surprised and shocked by the events, it does not appear that he was injured during the incident Sediuk, a reporter for a Ukrainian television network, has become known for his red-carpet antics. Earlier this month, he was detained at the Cannes Film Festival for sticking his head up America Ferrera's dress. He also famously attempted to kiss Will Smith on a red carpet in 2012, and was then slapped in the face by the actor.
At the 2014 SAG awards in January, Seduik ran onto the red carpet and dropped to his knees to hug Bradley Cooper around his waist, with his face in Cooper's crotch. It was the same stunt he pulled on Leonardo DiCaprio the next month at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.
His biggest prank happened at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Sediuk managed to sneak into the ceremony without passes or credentials, and when it was announced that Adele had won an award, Sediuk raced on stage and took the trophy from Jennifer Lopez, who had been presenting the category.
Sediuk spent that night behind bars. He narrowly avoided a six-month jail sentence on the condition that he stay out of legal trouble for three years and never come back to the Nokia Theater again.
The Hollywood Community Police Station released a statement, saying "During tonight's Maleficent premiere, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were signing autographs when a man jumped over the barrier and struck Brad in the face. Private security was there to take him in before uniformed officers took him into custody. He is currently in custody with the LAPD being processed. Sgt. Calderon from the Hollywood police station gave me his name as Vitalii Seduick (he was not sure on this spelling), who we believe has done things like this before."
It has been less than a year since that agreement, and Sediuk has had numerous encounters with the law since. It is unclear if his most recent stunt will carry longer-lasting ramifications than those before.
