After security broke Timberlake free, both the “Suit And Tie” singer and Biel laughed it off and took the incident in stride.
Sediuk is known for his crashing of red carpet events, especially during Paris Fashion Week.
He made a huge mark when he put his face in Bradley Cooper’s crotch at the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards. He’s also tried to lay a kiss on Will Smith in 2012 at the premiere of “Men In Black III” and gave Ciara a hug while not wearing pants outside Balmain’s Paris Fashion Week show in 2014. And as detailed on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” he pulled off a couple of pranks on Kim Kardashian.
But the couple seemed to shake off the tackle attempt when they were later seen posing together in front of the Louvre before heading into the LV show.
Timberlake’s tackle wasn’t the first bizarre thing to happen on Tuesday in the City Of Lights, comedian Marie Benoliel crashed the Chanel runway show by quickly getting up from her seat and joining the lineup of models.
The day was saved by Gigi Hadid who confronted Benoliel and led her off the runway in order to get the show back on track.
In an official statement to ET Canada, Chanel said, “This person is a comedian known for this type of prank. She had crashed another runway recently. Her presence on the catwalk was not planned. Security guards simply led her to the exit at the end of the show.”
Timberlake jokingly addressed the incident in an Instagram post on Wednesday, sharing some photos of himself and Biel while writing, “Last night at #louisvuitton. Human anklet not included.”
