Austin Butler has once again shown that he is not merely a talented actor but also a real-life hero.
On Aug. 19, at the Caught Stealing UK Gala Screening in London, a bee caused a mini panic for his costar Zoë Kravitz. Photos and videos show both costars posing for the press with director Darren Aronofsky when the buzzing bee suddenly appeared.
Austin Butler quickly jumped into action and used clever ways to scare the bee away.
@people #ZoeKravitz is all of us when we see a bug. 🐝🤣 #AustinButler #CaughtStealing #RedCarpet
After a few tense seconds, the bee finally flew off. Kravitz was safe, and she started smiling at Butler for acting so quickly.
Fans know that this isn’t the first time Butler has saved someone from a bee. Back in May at Cannes, he helped Emma Stone from a bee when she was on the red carpet. That moment also went viral. Fans always loved seeing his calm and heroic side.

In Caught Stealing, Austin Butler plays Hank Thompson, who is a former high-school baseball star. The baseball star now works at a New York bar and somehow ends up in a dangerous gang mess. Kravitz plays his love interest in the crime thriller, which is directed by Darren Aronofsky.
The story of the movie starts when Hank agrees to look after the cat of his neighbor. What seems like a simple favor swiftly turns into a crazy adventure with gangsters.
Caught Stealing will hit theaters on Friday, Aug. 29.
