Austin Butler Proves He's a Real-Life Superhero: Saves Zoë Kravitz from Bee Attack!

Hollywood heartthrob Austin Butler is quickly becoming known for more than just his acting talent. The star, currently riding high on the success of Elvis and now captivating audiences with Caught Stealing, has once again demonstrated his heroic reflexes, rescuing costar Zoë Kravitz from a swarm of aggressive bees at the UK Gala Screening of their new film. This marks the second time Butler has intervened to protect a female colleague from stinging insects, further solidifying his reputation as a charming and quick-thinking protector.

The incident occurred during a red-carpet event, a glamorous affair celebrating the release of Caught Stealing. Attendees were enjoying the evening, anticipating the premiere, when a buzzing cloud of bees descended upon the crowd. While many scattered in panic, Butler sprang into action, swiftly shielding Kravitz and diverting the bees' attention away from her.

This isn't the first time Butler has found himself in a surprising bee-related rescue mission. Earlier this year, at the Cannes Film Festival, he famously stepped in to defend actress Emma Stone from a persistent bee, earning him widespread praise and a flurry of online memes. Witnesses at the Cannes event described Butler's calm and decisive actions, effectively creating a barrier between Stone and the insect. It seems buzzing insects have a particular fondness (or aversion!) for those in his company.

“It was quite chaotic,” a source at the UK Gala Screening told People magazine. “The bees just came out of nowhere. Austin was incredible – he just jumped in front of Zoë without hesitation. He’s got such a protective instinct.”

Zoë Kravitz, visibly shaken but unharmed, expressed her gratitude to Butler. “I’m so grateful to Austin for being there,” she said in a brief statement. “It was a little scary, but he handled it like a pro. He's a true gentleman.”

Caught Stealing, directed by Guy Ritchie, is already generating considerable buzz, and Butler and Kravitz's on-screen chemistry is a major draw. However, this latest incident has added an unexpected layer of intrigue to the film’s promotion, showcasing Butler's off-screen heroism and further endearing him to fans worldwide. The film promises a thrilling blend of action, suspense, and complex characters, and with Butler’s newfound reputation for bravery, audiences are even more eager to see what he brings to the role.

The incident has sparked a wave of amusement and admiration online, with fans praising Butler's chivalry and quick thinking. Has Austin Butler become Hollywood’s official bee protector? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: he’s winning hearts both on and off the screen.
