Latest news about Brad Pitt may come as a shocker after the award winning actor was allegedly punched in the face by a man who came behind the barriers in the "Maleficent" premiere.
The Hollywood premiere of the movie is a history since almost all of the members of the Jolie-Pitt clan attended the event. It was supposed to be a smooth sailing event, but the news that Brad Pitt was summoned by a man from the crowd almost steals the show. The attacker is actually not new to the industry since he was already identified to be someone who always plays pranks to Hollywood stars.
Brad Pitt's shocking news of being attacked is not being disregarded by the authorities. The actor was allegedly punched in the face by a man later on identified as Vitalii Sediuk in the Hollywood premiere of the Maleficent which stars Pitt's longtime love, Angelina Jolie. The event was not just attended by the couple, but their kids were also present in the El Capitan Theatre except for their child Vivienne who plays the role of little Princess Aurora in the film.
A report according to the Associated Press says that witnesses saw that the man jumped off the barrier and rushed towards the actor, touching him briefly before the security guards wrestled him. He was then led away with handcuffs and arrested with suspicion of battery as the actor, who was not seriously hurt resume signing autographs before walking into the theater. Sediuk is currently in custody with a pending $20,000 bail.
According to BBC, the news about Brad Pitt's attack is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department. A report also said that the attack seemed to be intentional, but it is still being determined. The man identified as a Ukrainian journalist has actually a history of pulling pranks to different Hollywood stars.
The news of Brad Pitt being allegedly punched or slapped is not new to Sediuk's red carpet stunts. The attacker was previously making headlines after he crawled beneath the skirt of America Ferrera at the Cannes Film Festival. At the SAG Awards, he also pulled a prank to actor Bradley Cooper in the red carpet where he kneeled and hugged the actor's crotch, the same stunt that he made with Leonardo DiCaprio.
