LONDON, UK: Kate Beckinsale has just given another proof of Keanu Reeves' legendary chivalry in Hollywood. The 49-year-old actress seemed to get nostalgic about her first Cannes appearance in 1993 after attending this year’s event. She took to Instagram to share her experience from her very first red carpet moment, which also included some nice words for Reeves and Robert Sean Leonard.
Sharing the 30-year-old photo, Beckinsale wrote, “I had bought the bodysuit in the Sock Shop at the airport and when I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Pauletta Washington, all the poppers in the crotch popped themselves open and it flipped up like a roller blind.”
‘I just quietly panicked’
The ‘Underworld’ star went on to say, “I didn’t feel it was appropriate to go delving around in my undercarriage with all of us in the back of the car so I just quietly panicked. Walked out onto the biggest red carpet of my life and whispered to Keanu and Robert Sean Leonard what had happened.”
“In this picture, I am holding the front gusset down and the two of them are holding the back gusset. Absolute legends who may not even have fully understood the physics of what was happening or even heard the word ‘gusset’ before but both jumped in to save me no questions asked,” Beckinsale added.
‘A legendary story’
The social media share received several comments with a user saying, “Wow!! What a great picture with legends and a legendary story!! Wow things have changed as far as how people get “dressed” to go to Cannes!! You need to write a book…..you probably have the best stories!!!!!”
Another user posted, “Another amazing Keanu story and a reminder to rewatch this movie that I referenced daily for decades.” “This is the *best story of all time* ? - Robert Sean Leonard and Keanu Reeves holding down Kate Beckinsale's broken bodysuit at Cannes?! EPIC ❤️? (Also, everyone in this photo is devastatingly gorgeous),” the third user wrote.
The fourth one commented, “I always forget that Hero was your first big role. I loved Kenneth Branaugh’s Shakespeare work. Casting Denzel was brilliant as well. Also, the legend of Nicest Guy Ever Keanu grows.” "Oh my Goodness you are the epitome of the show must go on - kudos to the two most awesome guys for helping save the day indeed. I like them even more now ?," a fan added below the post.
