A man was led away in handcuffs after attacking Brad Pitt on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of Maleficent.
Pitt was apparently unhurt and soon resumed signing autographs.
Witnesses saw the man from the fan area jump over a barrier to the red carpet at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday (local time) and rush at Pitt.
Security guards wrestled the man across the barrier and called police, who arrived and led the man away.
Pitt kept greeting fans and walked into the theatre.
Pitt was at the event supporting his partner Angelina Jolie who stars in the new live action spin on Sleeping Beauty.
Phone and email messages for representatives for Pitt and Disney were not immediately returned.
Police had no immediate information on the man or the incident.
