Buzz on the Red Carpet: Emma Stone's Hilarious Bee Encounter Goes Viral
May 17, 2025: The Cannes Film Festival is known for its glamour, prestige, and show-stopping red carpet moments—but this year, an unexpected guest stole the spotlight at the premiere of Ari Aster’s much-anticipated film Eddington. While stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler graced the red carpet, a stray bee (or possibly a fly) made an uninvited and thoroughly viral appearance.

As the cast posed for photos on the famous Palais steps, the buzzing intruder began circling the actors. Emma Stone, known for her sharp comedic timing, didn’t miss a beat. When the insect came too close for comfort, Emma gave a dramatic, swooning gesture—channeling an 18th-century damsel overcome by the heat—before pretending to faint. Pedro Pascal, ever the gentleman, quickly reached out to “catch” her in jest, adding to the comedy of the moment.
Fans watching the live coverage and subsequent clips online couldn’t get enough of the impromptu performance. Comments flooded social media, praising the light-hearted moment:
“I’d do the same as her, omg,” one user wrote.
“Pedro protecting her 😍 they have chemistry, I loved it!” said another.
Even the insect got some attention: “Even the bees came to claim our queen,” joked a fan.
And of course, someone predicted: “Oh no, the memes that may follow this…😂”
While the cast and crew of Eddington were on hand to promote the film’s world premiere, the insect incident became the unexpected viral highlight of the evening.
