Vitalii Sediuk had to be "cautious" with his latest prank on Kim Kardashian.
The Ukranian-born media personality, 25 – who tackled Kim, 33, as she arrived at the Balmain SS15 show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this week – has confessed he had to take more care when pulling off the stunt because she is a woman.
However, the Hollywood Prankster – who has previously accosted stars including Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, America Ferrera and Will Smith at red carpet events – confessed he would have pulled out all the stops if he had been ambushing Kim’s husband, Kanye West, instead.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I had a feeling that Kim would show up there because she is friends with the designer of Balmain. I basically came there just for them. I knew they were going to be the biggest guest of the night.
"If it was Kanye West, I would have done it like I did it with Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio.
"But with Kim Kardashian, I was very cautious because I know she is a woman — so I kind of hugged her legs. I already had a bad experience with America Ferrara. It’s different with men."
Vitalii – a former journalist – insisted he is just "a normal guy" and doesn’t mean to offend anyone with his antics.
He explained: "I like the show business world. But it’s obviously not my intention to offend someone. It looks like I’m a monster, but I’m a normal guy. Well, what I’m doing isn’t normal — but I don’t have bad intentions."
He added: "I’m already banned in America. I could be banned in the European Union next. I hope I will not be."
