Austin Butler has some bad luck with bees. Butler, 34, was posing for photos with Caught Stealing costar Zoë Kravitz and director Darren Aronofsky on the red carpet at the London premiere of their film on Tuesday,

Zoë Kravitz literally became a honey trap on the red carpet this week -- a bee bee-lined straight at her ... but luckily for her, Austin Butler buzzed in as her knight in shining armor!

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.
