We have a feeling this isn't quite what Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel expected during their trip to Paris Fashion Week! On Tuesday, Justin was almost tackled during a public appearance ... and there are even photos of it all going down.

Seriously, this is wild!

The prank happened as Jessica and Justin were on their way into the Louis Vuitton show.

Apparently, celebrity prankster Vitalii Sediuk took the opportunity to strike as they walked past fans watching Jessica and Justin walk in and grabbed Justin's ankle. In the end, Vitalii was the one who ended up getting tackled by security, while Justin looked unfazed -- at least, as unfazed as one can look in a situation like that. 

"Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were understandably shaken up and startled after this stranger jumped out at them," a source told E! News. "Once inside, Jessica was comforting Justin and rubbing his shoulder." 

(Scary!)

It makes sense if Justin was shaken up. Who wouldn't be by something like that?!

But he and Jessica really seem to have handled it well, according to these photos. Vitalii has been known to pull this kind of stuff at red carpet events. In the past, his victims have included stars such as Kim Kardashian and Gigi Hadid.

Fans seem concerned about what happened to Justin -- and for good reason.-placeholder

Like these commenters pointed out, that's such a violation of their safety. It would make total sense for Vitalii to be blacklisted from all events after all of the stunts he's pulled, but that is probably a difficult if not impossible task.

We're glad to hear that both Jessica and Justin came out unscathed.-placeholder

We're glad to hear that both Jessica and Justin came out unscathed.

Hopefully, the rest of their trip to Paris will be a lot less eventful. Seems as if this is a lot more drama than either of them bargained for. Here's hoping JT and Jessica stay safe. As much as many fans have wanted to tackle him since his NSYNC days, it's just not a good idea.
