Mark Hamill Reveals A-Lister He Locked Eyes With During Major Wardrobe Malfunction
Mark Hamill was literally caught with his pants around his ankles while presenting an award at the BAFTAs earlier this year.
The 'Star Wars' actor recalled the events that led up to the embarrassing moment during a stop by 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on Wednesday night ― and revealed he had locked eyes with a major A-lister after the malfunction occurred.
Hamill said he'd tried on the suit he was wearing to the prestigious awards ceremony twice, but the pants were a bit too tight. He asked his tailor to let them out a bit, but the tailor ended up taking things a little too far.
'Cut to us in London, the car outside, 20 minutes before we are supposed to leave,' Hamill said. 'I put the pants on, he let them out four or five inches!'
The actor shared that his dresser quickly retrieved a safety pin and secured the pants in the back.
'So I thought I was good to go,' Hamill said. But at the awards show, things quickly went south.
'They introduced me, and as I started walking to the podium, I feel the pin pop!' he shared. 'They were at my knees by the time I got to the podium.'
In a clip that Colbert played, you can see 'The Wild Robot' star delivering his lines as he pulls up his pants, not missing a beat.
Hamill said he 'looked over to find my wife, but my eyes landed on Demi Moore. So I mouthed to Demi Moore, 'Did you see my pants fall down?'''
Moore apparently smiled and gave him a thumbs-up, and Hamill said that Timothée Chalamet later applauded him for keeping it all together.
'[Chalamet] came up to me at the after party and said, 'Dude, that was a masterclass in professionalism,'' he said.
Despite keeping it together at the moment, Hamill told Colbert that his 'pants are very secure tonight.'
