People are cringing at footage of Cameron Diaz being forcefully kissed at MTV Awards

Resurfaced footage of Cameron Diaz being forcefully kissed at the 1995 MTV Movie Awards has left people shocked.

Diaz was presenting the award for 'Best Kiss' at the event, but was left rather stunned when a fellow actor tried to lean in for a smooch on stage.

Take a look for yourself:

Having made it to the main stage, Diaz was appearing alongside musician Chris Isaak at the MTV Movie Awards.

With True Lies, Before Sunrise, Natural Born Killers, Speed and Dumb and Dumber all up for the award, Isaak tried to make his own last-minute entry but the Charlie's Angels actor wasn't too impressed.

After introducing the category, the singer tried to put his arm around Diaz and then went in for a kiss.

Clearly not wanting to partake, Diaz tried to continue with her line which is when Issak attempted the kiss again.

In fact, he can even be heard saying 'come here, baby' despite Diaz's arm being in the way.

Ever the professional, Diaz continues trying to announce the awards.

Whilst everyone else had clearly gotten the message, Issak appeared to continue hitting on the actress as she explained that the big screen kisses happened on the 'on the director's say so'.

He then stands in front of her, with Diaz nervously giggling as he yet again attempts to grab and kiss her.

Shockingly, the audience can be heard to cheer as he tells Diaz 'I knew you'd come around', leaving her in utter shock.

Thankfully, times have moved on and fans have since heavily criticised Isaak's behaviour.

One fan said that the footage 'makes my blood boil', while another said they were shocked that 'people clapped and laughed' during the moment.

Some, however, did wonder whether the kiss must have been rehearsed, saying it must have been 'part of the act'.

Others agreed saying that they hoped so too, given that it was 'too much' if it was real.

Diaz also got her own back thanks to her Mask co-star, Jim Carrey.

Rather than just telling off the inappropriate musician, he opted to give Issak a taste of his own medicine by embracing him as he picked up the Best Kiss Award during the event.

Whilst it's unclear whether they actually kissed or not, it seems like the perfect revenge.
