America Ferrera was left red-faced during her first ever appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, after a Ukranian TV presenter was seen attempting to put his head up her dress on the red carpet.
America, best known for her leading role in the TV comedy ‘Ugly Betty’ was at the festival to promote the animated film ‘How To Train Your Dragon 2’, when she became the victim of serial red carpet prankster Vitalii Sediuk.
