Blink and you'll miss it, but a trespasser found his way onto the Cannes Film Festival red carpet and dived under actress America Ferrera's dress before security pulled him away.

Cate Blanchett was a shocked bystander as a man climbed under the dress of fellow actress America Ferrera on the Cannes red carpet.

The pair had arrived for the world premiere of How To Train Your Dragon 2 and were posing for a photo when the ugly incident occurred on Friday.

Festival security had to drag the man away after he rushed the red carpet wearing a suit and tie, jumped behind former Ugly Betty star Ferrera and slipped under her dress.

Ferrera was unhurt but clearly shaken up while Blanchett and Dragon co-stars Jay Baruchel, Kit Harington and Djimon Hounsou, all posing for the photo, were left shocked and shaking their heads.

Several reports claimed the man was Ukrainian journalist Vitalii Sediuk, a serial "prankster" at entertainment events.

Sediuk has in the past tried to kiss Will Smith on a red carpet, hugged the crotches of Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper, and crashed the Grammys stage during Adele's acceptance speech.
