Keira Knightley has filed a harassment complaint against a man who disrupted her Broadway debut last week.
The 30-year-old actress was forced to halt her performance in Therese Raquin at Studio 54 in New York on October 1, just minutes into the first act after Landon Rust stood up, approached the stage and began declaring his love for her.
The actress was left particularly alarmed when he reportedly said: 'We're going to be in heaven together.'
And it has now been claimed that Keira has lodged an official complaint against him with the New York Police Department, over fears that he could become her stalker.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: 'She was scared. She wanted to document the incident to start a paper trail in case this guy turns into a stalker.
'If he starts following her around and showing up where she is, then she can get an order of protection against him, but only with a paper trail.'
Following the incident at the theatre, Rust - who also threw a bouquet of roses to the Pirates of the Caribbean actress - was escorted out of the theatre in handcuffs, issued a summons for disorderly conduct, and released.
Witness: Jennifer Tepper was one of many people who saw the man propose and then arrested
He is also said to have yelled to her: 'I love you.'
Ever the professional, Keira stayed in character despite the interruption minutes into her opening night of Thérèse Raquin.
The actress carried on regardless even though he then tossed flowers at her and when she did not give him an answer he yelled: 'Five seconds is too long to wait for a response.'
Security then dragged him away from the theatre before police arrived and Keira's co-star Gabriel Ebert got an impromptu round of applause as he kicked the flowers off the stage.
