Vitalii Seduik, a prankster from Ukraine who has become known for ambushing celebrities at events, got up on stage with last year’s Eurovision winner, Ukraine’s Jamala, and danced while wearing an Australian flag before wiggling his bare backside for the entire world to see.

It seems Seduik has landed himself in hot water with the stunt though, and after reportedly being detained for 72 hours following the prank he now faces charges of hooliganism and five years in prison, according to a Facebook post by the Ukrainian Interior Minister, Arsen Avakov.

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.

In the Facebook post Avakov said the prank was a ‘disgrace to this country’ and that he wouldn’t recommend Seduik pulls a similar prank in prison.




Seduik has made a bit of a name for himself for playing pranks on celebs.

In 2013 he crashed onto the stage while Adele accepted her award at the 2013 Grammys then in 2014 he reportedly struck Brad Pitt in the face when he ambushed him on the red carpet of Angelina Jolie’s film Maleficent, which led to Pitt getting a restraining order against the prankster.

And there’s more.

He also tried to hug Kim Kardashian at Paris Fashion Week, he put his head up America Ferrera’s dress at Cannes Film Festival and Gigi Hadid fought him off when he picked her up at Milan Fashion Week.

Oh and he’s also got a thing for crotch-hugging male stars with both Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper being targets on separate occasions.

Starting to sound familiar now?

Whether the potential of a prison sentence will deter Seduik, however, is yet to be seen.

Avakov's full Facebook post ‘In response to inquiries about an idiot who bared his ass in front of 200 million viewers, Sedyuk is a Ukrainian citizen. During the speech of our Jamala, from his words – he decided to realize his hobby; he”unofficially works as a provocative journalist”. He was detained by the protection of the contest, with the participation of the police – he resisted detention. In accordance with the procedure of Article 208 of the CPC of Ukraine, he was detained for 72 hours before the trial which a penalty under Article 296 part 3 (hooliganism with aggravating) will be decided – from a fine to five years in prison. For now .. this shame of the country will be able to realize his “hobby” in the prison cell of the temporary detention facility. However, to show the ass to those dwellers, enjoying his “hobby” – I would not advise him…’ Via Facebook.
