New Delhi: Since the beginning, Keanu Reeves has been renowned for his decency and down-to-earth demeanour. Recently, his Much Ado About Nothing co-star Kate Beckinsale revealed how he saved her from a major wardrobe malfunction during 1993 Cannes Festival.
Beckinsale took to her Instagram handle, and posted a throwback picture from her first Cannes appearance which was 30 years back. Along with the photo, she explained how she had a huge wardrobe malfunction at the occasion.
She captioned, “So my mum DID find one of the original Cannes pictures but unfortunately it’s not full length so you can’t see the Dr Martens. Fun fact though: 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 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,” she added.
“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 x #muchadoaboutnothing #cannes1993,” she wrote further.
Kate’s debut picture starred Kenneth Branagh, Michael Keaton, Robert Sean Leonard, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, and Keanu Reeves. Being the first film and walking the red carpet at the famous event was an honour, and it could have turned out to be one of Kate’s worst days if it hadn’t been for Reeves and Sean Leonard.
