How Emma Stone (Humorously) Broke Her Silence After Austin Butler Blew A Bee At Her In A Very Viral Red Carpet Moment
They say that seeing is believing... but we also can't always believe what we see. Case in point: a recent video that went viral from the Eddington red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival, which saw stars Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal temporarily harassed by a bee. Watching the clip, one might get the impression that Butler is using his breath to blow the bee toward his co-star's face, but that is a take on the situation that Stone has amusingly and vehemently denied.
With Eddington (the latest film from filmmaker Ari Aster) set to be released by A24 on July 18, Emma Stone popped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week for a sit down with guest host Diego Luna, and among the subjects discussed was the aforementioned viral video. The Andor star suggested to the actress that Austin Butler was making a specific effort to get the buzzing insect to fly into her face by blowing it in her direction, but Stone refused that idea because she doesn't believe that action fits Butler's disposition. Said the two-time Oscar winner,
No, he is a sweetheart and a half. There's no way he wanted that bee in my face. He was trying to blow it behind me.
From the Charles Manson cultist Tex in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood to the ready-to-rumble Benny in The Bikeriders to the sadistic Feyd-Rautha in Dune: Part II, Austin Butler has a history of playing dark and shady characters on the big screen at this point in his career – but Emma Stone's thoughts suggest that his performances don't represent his personality. He play be able to play dark and evil well, but he isn't the kind of guy who would intentionally try and get someone stung by an insect.
Doubling down, Diego Luna comedically suggested that Austin Butler not only tried to blow the bee in Emma Stone's direction, but that he even brought it with him to the carpet. Not only did Stone refute that idea, but she even went as far as to suggest that there was someone else present far more likely to unleash that kind of nefarious plot: Pedro Pascal. Said Stone,
You think he brought the bee?... I almost guarantee you, if anyone brought the bee, it was Pedro. He probably unleashed that bee.
Pedro Pascal got a lot of nice attention from seeming to help protect Emma Stone from the bee... but could it all have been a setup for a taste of internet glory?!?! Conspiracy theorists: perhaps you should look into this.
If you haven't seen the video for yourself, you can check it out in the Instagram post down below:
On a more serious note, audiences will soon get to see Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler on the big screen together in Eddington – part of a terrific ensemble cast that also includes Joaquin Phoenix, Deirdre O'Connell, and Luke Grimes. The movie, the third feature from the director of Hereditary, Midsommar and Beau Is Afraid, is set during the summer of 2020 and focuses on a small town in New Mexico where the local sheriff (Phoenix) decides that he is going to run against the mayor (Pascal) in an upcoming election.
You'll be able to catch it in theaters this July – and stay tuned here on CinemaBlend for our interviews with Ari Aster and the cast. In the meantime, as the warm weather continues, be sure to look out for buzzing bees.

Saturday's Lotto jackpot estimated at £7.3m after no ticket wins top prize
Saturday's lottery jackpot will be an estimated £7.3 million after no players won Wednesday's top prize. The winning Lotto numbers were 17, 31, 47, 05, 58 and 09, while the bonus number was 35. No players matched all six main numbers, meaning the jackpot was missed, while no ticket-holders won £1 million by matching five of the six numbers plus the bonus ball. Set of balls L3 and draw machine Lotto3 were used in the first Lotto draw since the National Lottery paused over the weekend to enable the biggest technology upgrade in the game's 31-year history. In Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw, no players matched all five numbers to win the £350,000 top prize. Two ticket-holders won £13,000 each after matching four of the five numbers. The winning Thunderball numbers were 19, 02, 27, 03 and 38, and the Thunderball was 11.

Brooks Nader heats up Saint-Tropez with leopard-print swimsuit, sheer dresses
Brooks Nader is serving looks in Saint-Tropez. The 28-year-old model posted a series of photos on Instagram from her summer getaway on the French Riviera, including a number of revealing looks, captioning the post, "Some fave fits and views as of lately." One of the photos featured Nader walking outdoors in a leopard-print one-piece swimsuit, which she paired with black sunglasses and a drink in her hand. In another photo, she can be seen in the back of a car wearing a low-cut black sleeveless shirt which she accessorized with a chunky gold necklace. Nader also shared a photo of herself sitting on the bed of a truck in a white bikini, which she paired with sweatshorts, black sandals, sunglasses and a baseball cap. Nader shared many other snippets from her trip, including footage from a helicopter ride, the view of the ocean from the pool where she was staying and the many other outfits she put together. The looks included a sheer black and white polka dot dress, a white crop top with a sheer white skirt, a sheer backless dress which she paired with diamonds, and a white dress with a thigh-high slit and cutouts. Fans in the comments section were quick to share how much they loved her looks, with one writing "It's really unfair that anyone be this perfect," and another adding, "You look insane!" A third fan chimed in with, "st tropez looks good on you," while a fourth wrote, "Those abs will not be denied." Just last month, Nader made headlines when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction while on the red carpet at the ESPYs. The model walked the red carpet in a cream silk slip dress with a plunging neckline, which drifted too far to one side at one point, resulting in a nip-slip. Nader quickly readjusted her dress and continued to pose for photos on the carpet with confidence. The model can often be seen sporting daring and often risqué looks on the red carpet, telling Fox News Digital in December 2021 she has loved to experiment with fashion since she was a kid and was always confident in her style. While she was always confident, Nader explained that working with "Sports Illustrated helped my confidence a lot" because not only was she surrounded by models who are physically beautiful, but who "also have beautiful hearts" and built a "very spirit-lifting community." While confident, her daring style has led to "so many near mishaps." "It took a lot of figuring out when it came to my love of sheer dresses and how to perfectly conceal everything," she explained at the time. "I had one sheer dress moment where I wore this high-rise underwear that was way too light. And it showed through the dress. But you live and learn from experience."
