‘Did that just happen?’: Mark Hamill’s BAFTAs wardrobe malfunction stuns

Legendary Star Wars actor Mark Hamill faced an awards presenter’s worst nightmare at BAFTAs.

Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill faced the dark slide when his trousers dropped as he revealed the Best Film gong at the EE Baftas.

A clip unearthed by The Sun shows the Star Wars favourite scrambling to hold up the pants while focusing on the autocue.

Stage-side A-listers watched in horror. But Mark’s blushes were spared by a lectern at London’s Royal Festival Hall which meant from 3.8 million TV viewers missed the drama.

An insider sat at the front told us: “Mark started speaking then his suit trousers just dropped to his knees. It was like they were too big for him.

“All the big stars such as Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Adrien Brody would have seen it from their angle.

“Most guests looked horrified but said nothing. It was a moment that you wouldn’t have believed unless you saw it.

“They were turning to each other wide-eyed as if to say, ‘Did that just happen?’”

As seen in our pictures, the moment Mark, 73, feels the trousers Force slipping comes as he tells the audience about his love of cinema, saying: “For me, films create worlds so vivid.”

Without losing his place on the autocue, he continues speaking to the stars as he hurriedly does up his trousers and tucks his shirt back in.

After handing over the Best Film award to the team behind Conclave, telling of the secretive task of picking a new Pope, Mark manages to walk off stage with his trousers intact.

“People couldn’t work out how they just fell down when they had been perfectly fine earlier when he walked out on to the stage.

“It’s a scenario which is every big star’s worst nightmare but Mark styled it out like a pro.“He might need to get a better belt for next year though.”
