Comedian James Corden and Sir Patrick Stewart became involved in a bizarre on-stage spat at the Glamour Awards on Tuesday.
Sir Patrick criticised Corden - host of the event - for standing with his hands in his pockets, adding: "From where I was sitting, I could see your belly."
Corden responded: "You could see my belly. I can see you dying right now."
The pair continued to trade insults, and several prize-winners remarked on the quarrel as they accepted awards.
After the show, Corden said: "I found it quite disappointing. You should ask him about it but I'm certain he's left."
Sir Patrick presented the film actress of the year prize to Avatar star Zoe Saldana.

Accepting her award, she said to Corden: "I like your belly but I'd like to see Sir Patrick Stewart dying on stage any day."
Corden then said: "I feel bad for people who haven't seen my belly."
To huge applause, the Gavin and Stacey star lifted his T-shirt, revealing his tummy.
Referring to Sir Patrick, he said: "OK can we get a taxi really quickly please. There's an old man going home."
Several stars commented on the verbal tussle.
"Entertaining"
Nowhere Boy actor Aaron Johnson said: "I love your belly. That was intense. I didn't know where to look."
