Emma Stone praises Austin Butler's quick thinking during viral bee encounter at Cannes

Emma Stone clarifies Austin Butler wasn’t to blame for the bee encounter at Cannes, praising his quick thinking and joking about Pedro Pascal.

"He was trying to blow it behind me! He is a sweetheart and a half—there is no way he wanted that bee in my face. – Emma Stone"

Washington, June 29

Emma Stone has come to the defence of her 'Eddington' co-star Austin Butler after a viral incident involving a bee on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.

In a clip shared on social media, Butler was seen trying to shoo away a bee that flew into the shot while the pair were posing for photos.

Despite some speculation that Butler may have inadvertently directed the bee towards Stone, the actress clarified on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' that this was not the case.

"He was trying to blow it behind me!" she explained, adding, "He is a sweetheart and a half--there is no way he wanted that bee in my face."

Stone even jokingly suggested that her other costar, Pedro Pascal, might have been responsible for the bee's appearance, saying, "I almost guarantee you, if anyone brought the bee, it was Pedro. He probably unleashed that bee."

However, she quickly added that Pascal is "so wonderful," emphasising the friendly dynamic between the cast members.

Stone's defence of Butler is consistent with her previous comments about her positive relationships with her male co-stars.

As per E! News, in a 2017 interview, she highlighted their willingness to take pay cuts to ensure she received equal pay, noting that "women, in general, are making four fifths at best."

Meanwhile in India, we deal with bees, wasps AND monkeys during outdoor events! 😂 Hollywood stars would panic if they saw what our politicians handle during rallies. But seriously, good on Emma for clarifying.

The pay equality comment is more important than the bee incident tbh. Glad she brought that up again. In Bollywood too we need more actresses speaking up about wage gaps.

I love their friendship! But can we talk about how Pedro Pascal is becoming the internet's favorite uncle? From The Last of Us to now being accused of unleashing bees 😂

The media makes mountains out of molehills. A bee incident becomes "viral news"? Meanwhile important issues get ignored. But I appreciate Emma's mature handling of the situation.
