During the Cannes Film Festival, panic broke out at Variety's star-studded bash when guests heard a loud "crunch of metal" followed by violent shaking at La Terrasse by Albane on the JW Marriott Cannes rooftop. Attendees, including celebrities like Diane Kruger and Jordana Brewster, described the experience as akin to an earthquake, with many fearing the rooftop might collapse. It was later clarified that the disturbance was caused by a temporary plywood structure that cracked and collapsed, not the roof itself. While the event caused immediate chaos, with guests scrambling to evacuate, some managed to remain composed, even joking about grabbing gift bags on their way out. A representative for Variety expressed relief that no one was injured, and the party continued after the incident.
