Let no one tell you being a Kardashian isn't a dangerous job.
Kim Kardashian was making an appearance at Paris Fashion Week today, amid an unbelievable throng of fans. And then one of those fans pushed his way through the Kardashian family's many bodyguards and dove at Kim's legs.
Whatever he was trying to accomplish, he didn't get to do it (unless his entire goal was "sort of tackle a Kardashian")- that mass of bodyguards threw him to the ground and got Kim to safety about a second later.
All this can be seen in a video published by TMZ.
Apparently, the man responsible for the near-tackle was Vitalii Sediuk, according to the E! Online. Sediuk is a name you might know, if you happen to follow the strange pranking of celebrities.
Especially, he's known for hugging the legs of people he's a fan of, for some reason that's not entirely clear to us. He's previously done so to Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper. He's been arrested every time he's done this- it's not clear why he keeps doing it, but clearly the arrests aren't stopping him, so expect more celebrity leg hugs in the future.
Apparently, Sediuk considered himself retired from the celeb leg-hugging game in July, according to the New York Daily News. Not anymore, though.
Sediuk had apparently tried to move to London and become a model, claiming "I would like to thank Hollywood for having me this two years and a half," at the time. Maybe his modeling career was a bust- it would explain why he dove at Kim Kardashian. Or maybe the modeling is going well, but he just can't stop himself from diving at celebrities. Who knows? With something this weird, the details are bound to be a mystery.
