Director Oliver Stone got hands-on with his Savages star Salma Hayek at the film's London premiere on Wednesday when he was pictured appearing to grab the actress's breasts.

The filmmaker joined Hayek on the red carpet at the Mandarin Oriental hotel to promote the gritty crime thriller, in which Hayek plays the leader of a Mexican drug cartel, but he seemed to get distracted by her low cut, figure-hugging dress and couldn't resist copping a feel in front of the world's media.

It might not be as bad as it looks...

Hayek, who is married to French fashion mogul Francois-Henri Pinault, tried to brush off the amorous advance by laughing uncomfortably as cameramen snapped away at the awkward encounter.

Hayek's co-stars John Travolta and Benicio del Toro were also at the premiere.
