2025 BAFTAs on Sunday night.The “Stars Wars” icon, 73, was on stage at London’s Royal Festival Hall presenting the final award of the night, Best Film, when he appeared to suffer the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.“If you’re in the room like me, you must love film — so what makes us love cinema so much that we’re all gathered here to celebrate tonight.

For me, it’s that films create worlds so vivid and stories so powerful that we lose ourselves completely,” Hamill said to the crowd from a podium.Then, Hamill suddenly grabbed his pants that appeared to fall from around his waist.

The actor quickly pulled his pants back up from behind the podium, without messing up the next part of his speech at all.“They create immersive cinematic landscapes that feel live whether they’re set here in London or anywhere you imagine they can take you,” he said as he fixed his pants behind the podium.At the end of the clip, the camera zoomed out to show Hamill finishing adjusting his pants to fit around his waist as he continued talking.Hamill went on to name the nominees for Best Film before announcing “Conclave” as the winner.

A insider who allegedly was sitting in the front row at the BAFTAs told The Sun about the crowd’s reaction to the incident.“Mark started speaking then his suit trousers just dropped to his knees.
