‘Coyote Ugly’ Star, 48, Stuns in Rare Red Carpet Appearance originally appeared on Parade.
Actress Piper Perabo made a rare red carpet appearance for the New York premiere of her upcoming Prime series, Butterfly, on August 5.
The Daily Mail reported that Perado, who has starred in projects like Coyote Ugly, Cheaper by the Dozen, and Yellowstone, walked the August 5 red carpet in a flowy pale pink dress. She accessorized the look with silver high heels, a silver bracelet, and a matching clutch purse.
Butterfly, which premieres on August 13, also stars Daniel Dae Kim as U.S. intelligence operative, David Jung, who lives in South Korea. During an August 5 interview on New York Live TV, Perabo noted that she plays one of the thriller’s villains, Juno. Perabo said she was thrilled to be cast as a villain, as she does not “usually get to play” antagonistic roles.
“I think it’s so relaxing to play a villain. Especially when you are the bad boss villain. You have people to bring the car out. You have people to carry all the bad guy stuff,” said the actress.
The 48-year-old also shared that Kim approached her to join the cast of Butterfly, which is based on a graphic novel by Arash Amel. Perabo explained that she and Kim “are old friends,” after co-starring in the 2005 film, The Cave.
“It was so fun. We did an action movie together years ago and it was so fun when he called me and said, ‘Do you want to go to Korea? And do something crazy?’ And I thought, ‘Yes!'” said Perabo during the interview.
Perabo gained popularity in her early 20s after starring as Violet Sanford in Coyote Ugly, which premiered in 2000. Perabo suggested she had some difficulty adjusting to fame after the movie’s release in a September 2016 interview with E! Insider.
“It was all a little too much. It was a little scary. When you’re young that’s a lot of light,” said Perabo while speaking to the publication.
