Ansel Elgort’s excitement over the New York Rangers home opener nearly brought him to his knees.

The Divergent actor, 21, took a bit of a tumble Saturday while rooting on his home team. He was animated throughout the game — jumping, hugging, and selfie-ing — but, when making an apparent play for a loose puck, he jumped over his seatmate, Alex Manon, and nearly bit it.

Not that his fans minded seeing a hint of his undies.

And, for the record, he got the puck.

Elgort, who moonlights as a DJ (though don’t you dare say it’s a vanity project), was sitting behind fellow celebrities Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas, so that, of course, called for a group selfie. He captioned it, “RANGERS HOME OPENER!!!” but it might as well have said, “#OurSeatsAreBetterThanYours.”

A New York City native, Elgort loves going to Madison Square Garden. He was every bit as much of a ham at a Knicks game back in January, where he definitely enjoyed the courtside view.

So a good lesson to learn from all this? If you are at a sporting event and Ansel sits down next to you, you may want to stay on your toes.
