Even the Dune actors get starstruck at their own premieres. Austin Butler ran into Sting, who played a version of his character Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in the David Lynch 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s book. “I met him last night, he came to the premiere. It was so surreal. My mind was blown. He’s the best,” Butler revealed on an episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. “He came up afterward, and he was so, so, lovely and just debonair. I asked him about [starring in the 1984 Dune movie] and he said he still has the codpiece from the original, he said he’s going to dry clean it and let me wear it if I want to.”
Dune: Part Two opened to $82.5 million domestically and $100 million overseas for a global start of $182.5 million. The likelihood of Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet escorting you to your seats in their Dune costumes as seen in this video might be low, but you may never know who you run into.

Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck
One moviegoer posted a video of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck on a date to the sci-fi thriller. “Dune 2 was AMAZING. Post credits scene was realizing JLo & Ben Affleck were sitting right in front of us lol,” the X user wrote. Though there are no post-credits scenes in Dune 2 (and yes, we checked!), it was just as surprising to see Bennifer clean up their seats with a popcorn bucket in tow. “this video reassures me that celebrities are just normal people like us ❤️,” one person replied to the post.

Bryan Cranston
Our Senior Astrology and Lifestyle Editor Roya Backlund saw Bryan Cranston just walk past her at a showing in Los Angeles. While he might have been there for a Kung Fu Panda 4 event, we’d like to believe he was there to watch the spice action in Dune.
Paul Mescal
StyleCaster’s own Commerce editor Maya Gandara spotted All Of Us Strangers actor Paul Mescal at her Dune 2 showing in New York City. Mescal was spotted the previous week at a Mitski concert at Beacon Theater with Lucy Dacus.
