You may not know his name, but you probably are familiar with Vitalii Sediuk’s antics. He’s the one who kissed Will Smith on the mouth, looked up America Ferrara’s dress, got on his knees and hugged Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio, and punched Brad Pitt at the premiere of Maleficent.

And now, mercifully, he’s taking his act to a different country.

In an interview with THR, Sediuk said that “Basically, I'm changing my life,” and that “I would like to say sorry for celebrities that had to deal with my stunts and thank them for being tolerant to me all this time.”

According to the Ukrainian man who will now attempt to become a model in England, “The motivation behind all my pranks was always positive even when some of them went wrong and were not understood by the public...I know you will not miss me.”

What was there to not understand? He was trying to get famous by stampeding in front of celebrities and acting like a moron. The public understands perfectly well, it’s just that it was neither funny nor clever (the time he smooched Smith excepting).

He did get one thing right, though: he will not be missed.
