Hayden Panettiere was at the MTV Europe Music Awards to present Best Song but she got a lot more than she bargained for when a streaker rushed the stage and paused at her side.

"Hello, apparently the only way out is back that way," he said after realizing that he couldn't jump off the front of the stage.

I've got to give Hayden some props for the way she handled the naked man (not like that) since she barely missed a beat, striking up a conversation with him. This has made quite a few people -- yours truly included -- wonder if it was a staged stunt.

The fact that no security attempted to get the naked man off the stage lends credence to the pre-planned theories. As does the fact that he's been identified as David Monahan -- a Northern Irish actor who is repped by a talent agency, that has provided talent for BBC, Channel 4 and HBO.

Check out the moment below and decide for yourself: real or fake?
