Kate Beckinsale is the latest actor to provide evidence that Keanu Reeves is the most beautiful actor in Hollywood.

The “Underworld” star returned to the Cannes Film Festival this year, attending amfAR’s annual charity gala among other events, which must have thought her 1993 Cannes debut to attend the premiere of Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespeare film Much Ado about nothing.” After this year’s festival, Beckinsale spotted a photo of herself on the Cannes red carpet in 1993 and revealed that fellow co-star Keanu Reeves jumped in to help prevent what could have been a major wardrobe malfunction on her first Cannes carpet.

“I bought the bodysuit at the Sock Shop at the airport, and when I got in the car to drive to the premiere with Denzel and Polita Washington, all the poppers opened at the crotch and flipped like a roller blind,” Beckinsale wrote. “I didn’t feel it was appropriate to drive around in a lower loader with all of us in the back of the car, so I quietly panicked.”

Beckinsale continued, “I walked out onto the biggest red carpet of my life and whispered to Keanu and Robert Sean Leonard what happened. In this photo, I’m holding the front gusset down and the two of them are holding the back set. Absolute legends who probably didn’t fully understand the physics of what was happening or even heard the word “bundled” before but they both jumped in to save me no questions asked.

Reeves still has one of the best reputations in Hollywood. The actor recently directed “John Wick: Chapter 4,” which grossed nearly $430 million worldwide becoming the highest grossing franchise to date. The sequel also propelled the “John Wick” franchise to cross the billion dollar mark at the global box office.

To thank his four-man team for their work on the film, Reeves gifted each of them with a personal Rolex Submariner. He also created T-shirts bearing the number of times his character killed each stuntman over the course of the film.
