A Hilarious Encounter: Emma Stone and the Bee Incident at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival
Actor duo Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal spring into action to shield Emma Stone from a potential disaster.
Emma Stone found herself in a buzz-worthy situation during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, as she faced off with an unwelcomed guest - a bee - while promoting her film, "Eddington."
On the red carpet, Emma was accompanied by her co-stars, Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal, when the tiny but determined insect decided to join the party. Emma's initial efforts to shoo the bee away only seemed to agitate it more, causing Austin and Pedro to jump into action to save the day.
With Emma visibly shaken, the trio played out an impromptu comedy sketch to fend off the bee. Texas-born Pedro took charge, using his hand to push the insect away, while Austin attempted the more delicate approach, blowing at the bee in an attempt to disperse it.
Despite her fear, Emma managed to keep her cool and, with a quick move, hid behind Pedro for safety until the bee flew away. The incident, though brief, brought a moment of levity to the red carpet, and the stars later laughed it off with grace and ease during their photo shoot.
The spectacle didn't go unnoticed by fans, who took to Twitter to share their amusement. One tweet read, "Oh, to be Emma Stone getting protected by Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler from a bee." Another tweet chimed in, "Even bees can't resist Emma Stone's star power."
"Eddington" premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and is set for a theatrical release in the United States on July 18, 2025. While similar incidents of celebrities reacting to insects might be scarce, Emma Stone's bee incident has left a lasting impact, becoming a memorable moment in the world of celebrity encounters.
