In a surprising twist of fate, Sarah Michelle Gellar and her co-stars, Elijah Wood and Kathryn Newton, were evacuated from the posh Le Bristol Paris hotel due to a fire at a nearby restaurant. On March 25, while they were gearing up for a press event for their filmReady or Not 2: Here I Come, the chaos unfolded. Thankfully, everyone was quickly escorted to safety, proving that celebrities, like the rest of us, aren’t immune to unexpected emergencies.
Once the coast was clear, Gellar and Newton lightened the mood by humorously comparing their escape outfits on social media. Gellar, in fluffy slippers, couldn’t help but poke fun at her co-star Newton, who was decked out in chic heels—making us all wonder about the priorities during a fire drill. Situations like these remind us that even in moments of panic, a little humor goes a long way, especially when surviving is the name of the game.
Le Bristol Paris, a five-star hotel with a rich history, was quick to reassure guests that the blaze was under control and emphasized their commitment to guest safety. In the end, it looks like Gellar and her team turned a potentially stressful situation into a memorable story worth sharing. After all, who knew hotel evacuations could serve up such comedic gold?
