Justice have reflected on the “very embarrassing” moment that they serenaded Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis with one of his own songs.The French duo – comprised of Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé – looked back at the moment during a new interview with NME for the In Conversation series, in celebration of their new album ‘Hyperdrama’.During the discussion, the pair were asked about their tour documentary Across the Universe, which they shared back in 2008.

The electronic group then went on to reveal that they haven’t considered watching the film recently – particularly because of one “embarrassing” moment that caught fans’ attention.“I haven’t seen it since it was released, actually,” de Rosnay said, with his bandmate going on to confirm that he had “seen a bit here and there” since its release 15 years ago.Going on to recall which aspect of the project he keeps seeing, de Rosnay explained: “The bit [that keeps] resurfacing is where I sing ‘Under The Bridge’ to Anthony Kiedis’s face, which was very embarrassing even to do, you know what I mean?He continued, explaining how the awkward moment arose: “Because this documentary was shot in a very short amount of time, we had to have the maximum amount of footage and just, like, make things happen otherwise there would be nothing happening.

And so I was with him and I started singing to his face.”The clip has been widely circulated online since it took place over a decade ago, and a snippet of the moment has gone on to gather upwards of 750,000 views on YouTube.

In the footage, the three of them are seen sitting together outside, wearing remarkably similar outfits, with de Rosnay singing a somewhat muddled version of the 1991 track to the RHCP frontman.His.
