Brad Pitt attacked on world premiere of "Maleficent"
A 25-year old Ukranian prankster and TV host is being held on 20-thousand US dollars bail after allegedly assaulting actor Brad Pitt.
Pitt was hit in the face while he and his wife, Angelina Jolie, were signing autographs on the red carpet for the premier of Jolie's new film "Maleficent."
Police say Pitt was hit in the face by a man who leapt over a fence to reach the actor.
He wasn't seriously hurt.
Authorities quickly subdued the man.
25-year-old Sediuk is a Ukrainian television star who has attempted to prank celebrities at red carpet events in the past.
As for the film itself, "Maleficent" is Disney's modern reboot of the animated fairytale "Sleeping Beauty".
Jolie stars as the film's villain, a role she says she enjoyed very much.
"Everyday the focus was the audience and my children, and would they find this funny and would they think this is cool and would they think the voice is something they would like or not like. Or is this hat something they like or don't like. It was just the best part of being an actor to just, my job is to entertain and I will do my best and if I fall on my face and make a fool of myself to hope that I can do that for people of all ages and especially children."
Jolie's co-star is Elle Fanning, who plays the 16-year old "sleeping beauty."
"I was very nervous going into that, I mean you hear that name Angelina Jolie, I mean it is so huge. You think she is going to be so intense and scary. Then you meet her and your nerves went away and you realize that she is just a lady. It's crazy to think about that, she is warm and playful and she is very funny."
"Maleficent" opens tomorrow.
Industry observers are expecting the film to earn over 60-millino US dollars this weekend.

Lee Pace on his new TV drama about the start of the personal computer boom
AMC's new drama "Halt and Catch Fire" is set to premier this Sunday.
It stars Lee Pace as Joe MacMillan.
MacMillian is a former IBM executive who joins a rival and enlists a team to create a cheaper, more popular machine.
"It's a show about computers in 1983 in Dallas, Texas, and some people who are trying to make an awesome computer and there's no certain idea of what that is. So we're trying to figure it out. I don't know. It's hard - it's actually very simple. We're just trying to make a cool computer, but it's going to be much, much more complicated than that."
The new drama is said to be much darker than HBO's "Silicon Valley."
Pace says his character can be a very dark person.
"I think about Joe like a machine. He will complete the program put before him. He will be fully compatible. He will operate on all systems. He will remove obstacles. He will problem solve. He will add value. But there are bugs in that machine. There're flaws in the program and that's where I find him most interesting because he's not a computer. He's a person who needs to work well with others and Joe - he can be a bastard."
The series has been picked up for 10 weeks on AMC.
