Photos prove there was a second bee: Darren Aronofsky, Zoë Kravitz, and Austin Butler at the 'Caught Stealing' UK Gala Screening on Tuesday
Austin Butler to the rescue — again.
The in-demand leading man, who helped fight off a bee targeting Emma Stone during Cannes, faced a winged menace for the second time during the Caught Stealing UK Gala Screening — this time after costar Zoë Kravitz.
Photos and video show Butler and Kravitz posing for press on Aug. 19 in London with director Darren Aronofsky before the screening when the attack commences.
Using some of the same methods employed during the Cannes incident, Butler tried blowing on the bees. Eventually, they flew away.
In the new movie, Butler plays a bartender who, after saying that he would watch his neighbor's cat, finds himself in the middle of a gang war. Kravitz plays his love interest in the crime thriller from Oscar-nominated director Aronofsky.

"Hank Thompson (Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can't play anymore, but everything else is going okay," reads the film's official synopsis. "He's got a great girl (Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant."
"When his punk-rock neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all want a piece of him; the problem is he has no idea why. As Hank attempts to evade their ever-tightening grip, he's got to use all his hustle to stay alive long enough to find out..."

Butler's first bee incident occurred on the Cannes red carpet in May with his Eddington costars Stone and Pedro Pascal and the film's director Ari Aster. The foursome attended the fest to debut the horror Western, which is set during COVID.
Pascal first tried to shoo the insect away. When Stone pointed it out to Butler, he blew at it, but it veered back at Stone, whose horrified face became a popular meme at the time.
Caught Stealing releases in theaters on Friday, Aug. 29. Eddington is in theaters and available on video on demand.
