The Django Unchained star was talking with reporters when all of a sudden gunfire was heard and the actor and other members of the Cannes jury were rushed off stage.
The incident occurred right before the live broadcast of Le Grand Journal, a French news show that airs every night during the festival.
The unknown gunman was immediately apprehended by police, and no one was injured as the shots were blanks.
It was initially reported that the sounds were actually fireworks, but those reports are NOT accurate.
Utter mayhem at Cannes moments ago ... gun shots rang out in the middle of an interview with Christoph Waltz, and all hell broke loose.
Waltz was on the set of a French news program called Le Grand Journal when the shots were fired, and security whisked him off stage. The rest of the audience rushed the set in panic.
You can't really hear the shots in the video ... but witnesses are saying they came from a man with a gun. There are reports the shots fired were blanks.
The man has since been apprehended by police. No one was injured.
It's been a crazy day at Cannes -- last night, a jewelry company was robbed while hosting a fancy ball at the film festival ... thieves reportedly stole $1 million worth of jewelry.
