The Oscar-nominee, 34, stepped in to rescue his co-star Zoë Kravitz after the rogue insect buzzed around the starlet, 36, at the UK screening of their upcoming movie “Caught Stealing” on Tuesday, August 19, in London, England. This is the second time he’s intervened saved his colleagues from bees in the past three months.

Butler has been busy doing press for his latest film — Darren Aronofsky’s “Caught Stealing” — in which he plays Hank, a baseball star turned bartender who finds himself immersed in the criminal world of 1990s New York City. Kravitz, 36, plays Yvonne, his love interest in the film.
