Bee Antagonizes Emma Stone on Red Carpet

by

As I graced the glamorous Cannes Film Festival red carpet for the premiere of Ari Aster’s latest masterpiece, “Eddington,” on May 16th, an unexpected incident occurred – a bee took a fancy to me! Despite my initial shock and momentary fluster, I managed to dodge and swerve, evading the persistent buzzing menace. Fortunately, my supportive co-stars, Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal, gallantly swooped in to shield me from this frenzied intruder. In a scene reminiscent of an action movie, they launched a swift defense, blowing on the bee and swatting it away. It’s fascinating that this bee seemed drawn to me, especially considering Heidi Klum’s recent appearance in a flamboyant pink flower dress, while I was dressed in a more subdued pale-pink ensemble.

The motives behind the French bee’s actions remain unclear, but an examination of its social media profiles suggests it was a fan of Lily Gladstone. Some experts speculate that the aggression could stem from lingering resentment over the 2024 Oscars, where Gladstone won Best Actress for “Poor Things,” overshadowing Gladstone’s performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Notably, Gladstone is a bee enthusiast, self-proclaimed as a “bee nerd.” She has shared her affection for bees on talk shows, recounting how she saved a bee from her dog and kept it as a pet, feeding it honey and water mix, and naming it Bee-alzabub. While no definitive link has been established between Bee-alzabub and the French bee, the connection is currently under investigation. “Killers of the Flower Moon” debuted at Cannes in 2023, which could potentially mean that Gladstone interacted with the bee or someone from its hive during that year’s festival. “Eddington,” in which Stone will appear, hits theaters on July 18.
