Cate Blanchett was a shocked bystander as a man tried to climb under the dress of fellow actress America Ferrera on the Cannes red carpet.
The pair had arrived for the premiere of How To Train Your Dragon 2 and were posing for a photo when the ugly incident occurred on Friday.
Festival security had to drag the man away after he rushed the red carpet wearing a suit and tie, jumped behind former Ugly Betty star Ferrera and slipped under her dress.
Ferrera was unhurt but clearly shaken up while Blanchett and Dragon co-stars Jay Baruchel, Kit Harington and Djimon Hounsou, all posing for the photo, were left shocked and shaking their heads.
