'It wasn't consensual': Uma Thurman's fury after Fiat heir Lapo Elkann surprised her with a very passionate kiss after he won $196k auction at amfAR
Most people dream of kissing a beautiful Hollywood star.
But when his luck was in, Fiat heir, Lapo Elkann made that dream a reality on Thursday as he celebrated a $196k (175,000 EUR) auction prize by planting a kiss on auction host Uma Thurman.
The film-star, 46, certainly got more than she bargained for when she went over to congratulate the winner at Thursday night's amfAR Gala and the opportunist landed a huge smacker on her lips - however, a representative for the star insists the kiss 'wasn't consensual'.

In for the kill: Fiat heir Lapo Elkann surprised film-star Uma Thurman with a passionate kiss at the amfAR gala on Thursday night, but she later claimed it was 'not consensual'
Uma's representative told MailOnline: 'It is opportunism at its worst. She wasn't complicit in it.
'Somewhere in his head he must have thought it an appropriate way of behaving. It clearly wasn't. It looks like she was happy to have it happen, but it was not consensual.'
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Lapo, who declined to comment.

Lapo won the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show experience, which includes two tickets to the 2016 show as well as two tickets to the exclusive after party.
Looking radiant in a floor-length pink gown, Uma managed to keep her dignity throughout, despite the Italian lothario making sure he got his money's worth from the encounter.
Uma, who is not officially dating right now, was spotted out with a mystery man when celebrating her 46th birthday in April.
Despite her impromptu kissing duties, Uma made sure she ruled the red carpet, in an eye catching floor-sweeping gown.
The Hollywood actress dazzled as she attended amfAR's 23rd Cinema Against AIDS Gala at the French Riviera town's Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
The acclaimed Pulp Fiction performer looked positively ageless in her choice of fuchsia attire, which featured a single strap embellished with a sequined heart.

Featuring a straight neckline, the column gown was made of a floaty material which gave her a stylish, seasonal feel.
Sweeping her hair up into bun, she added a pair of colour co-ordinated earrings and some heavily-applied eyeliner.
Posing up a storm as she made her entrance, Uma managed to walk a fine line between sophisticated and sexy in the notoriously tricky colour choice.
But it worked perfectly with her skin tone and choice of footwear - some strappy, open-toe sandals.
Together, her ensemble was a sartorial success.

If you thought Bella Hadid's daring red dress had the entire glamour quotient for the Cannes Film Festival, then think again.
Uma Thurman stunned at the AMFAR Gala this evening in a custom made Schiaparelli gown.
No Schiaparelli runway collection is complete without pops of this vibrant color which made Uma's dress instantly recognizable as a Schiaparelli original.
The chiffon fabric cascaded elegantly down Uma's statuesque figure while the sequined heart added a playful touch to her spectacular gown.
Sadly we won't be able to get our hands on this bespoke number but we can feel inspired to delve wholeheartedly into hot pink this summer.
