Overview

  • Photos and video from Aug. 19 at London’s Odeon Luxe Leicester Square show Butler, Kravitz, and director Darren Aronofsky reacting as a bee buzzed the photo line.
  • Both actors tried to shoo the insect, Butler stepped between it and Kravitz, and it flew off without stinging anyone as the premiere proceeded normally.
  • The episode echoes Butler’s May Cannes encounter with a bee near Emma Stone during the Eddington premiere, reinforcing a recurring red-carpet theme.
  • Multiple outlets published images and clips of the exchange, and the moment drew broad online attention as a playful publicity beat.
  • Caught Stealing is Darren Aronofsky’s crime drama starring Butler as Hank and Kravitz as his love interest, with a theatrical release set for Aug. 29.
