The reporter from the Ukrainian television channel 1+1, Vitalii Serdiuk, made headlines at the Venice Film Festival in September when he presented a bouquet of clearly unappreciated purple hydrangeas to Madonna and called her "my princess".

Smith was even less charmed by the reporter, who approached him on the carpet outside the movie theatre on Friday night and tried to kiss him.
