Underrated is when an actor does solid work at top level and doesn't get credit for it. This is just his first role at top level, if you don't count the Tarantino movie. Doing supporting roles in teen comedies doesn't qualify you as underrated, it qualifies you as unrated.

That is the most handsome couch I’ve ever seen on TV! 😘😉. I was tearing up when Austin told his beautiful story of his interaction with Sir Paul McCartney on that Paris train ride, listening to the same song, that Elvis played on his jukebox at his place in front of The Beatles. It warms my heart that Priscilla and Lisa Marie are pleased with Austin’s performance of their beloved Elvis. My sister and I have got to take our mom to see this movie, because my parents were big Elvis fans. Before I end my long college dissertation of a comment of this video, I’ll share with all of you reading this comment this story. Back in 1973, Mom was 9 months pregnant with me. I know that Elvis performed at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel during the 1970’s (1972-1976). Mom wanted to see Elvis in concert in Vegas, but Daddy (RIP 😪🙏) didn’t go to Vegas to see Elvis’s show, because he’s afraid to be away from their obstetrician here in L.A., in case Mommy ended up delivering me in Vegas. So they stayed here in L.A., and I was born on October 7, 1973. Once or twice, my sister & I had “What if?”, conversations if our parents went to see Elvis’s show. Mommy ended giving birth to me at his show. Would Elvis serenade to me, after Mom gave birth to me(?). I do remember seeing Elvis’s tribute special hosted by his leading lady, Ann Margaret, after Elvis passed away in 1977.

Superalto... Great story!!! 😊😁🌟👏

His voice is so soothing I could listen to him speak all day

[@susandoegg4182]

Austin Butler is a class act! So genuine. So humble. I could listen to him all day!

[@alangama5731]

His acting was one of the best i’ve seen in my life, bring this guy an Oscar!

[@ElvisRose_]

Austin Butler's performance has blown me away. The definitive Elvis performance.

[@leutrellbodden3743]

Love how I along with them was leaning in to hear him. His voice is so soft.

[@cleverusername9369]

In fairness, Jeff always does that, he listens so hard he's actually gravitationally pulled towards whomever he's listening to.

[@driascott]

It’s crazy bc u can tell no one wants to interrupt his talking even the crowd was dead silent he’s so spectacular 😍💕💕

[@kathya4160]

so we went and watched the Elvis movie last night and gotta say i was captivated by the whole performance the movie was just incredible Austin was absolutely amazing i felt like i was there in the crowd about to scream when the king of rock came out on stage loved it and ill be watching again. thankyou austin for bringing Elvis back to life so amazing

[@urbruise]

When Austin talks EVERYONE went silent wow he's so beautiful and so classy everyone in this room was hanging on his lips

[@agatakozowska8320]

What a fresh air came with Austin. He is not only talented, humble and wellspokem. He is also hypnotic. Good by Timotee Chalamet or Tom Holland.

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

Austin is so so humble, and I love the way he speaks

[@SUNNYFOREVA]

There’s something so special in his eyes…..absolutely beautiful🥰

[@drakobigdrako2859]

didn’t have good expectations for it but it was so fucking good. They really showed Elvis in a way that showed just how cool he was back in the day. Elvis was to young people back then, how rappers are for young people today. People my age think Elvis is/was lame and this showed me otherwise. Great movie and I think even people who don’t have any interest in Elvis or his music will like this movie and maybe even like a song or 2 of his. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Easily 8.5/10

[@calisongbird]

Really? It took this movie for you to realize that Elvis was as cool to his generation as rappers are to this one? It doesn’t take much imagination to put yourself in the position of those 1950s kids.

[@drakobigdrako2859]

@@calisongbird no it didnt take that to make me realize. my grandma literally has half her house decorated and dedicated to elvis. but most kids my age don't know or care to know anything about Elvis. Was simply puting that out there becauase I finally thought someone my age might agree! Thanks for stopping by and assuming!

[@lindapowers8592]

I have fallen in love with everything about Austin and Jeff has been my crush since the 70’s. Loving this😊

[@PennyLane88]

Two incredibly classy interviews simultaneously. What a treasure both Goldbloom and Butler are ❤

[@nataliedallimore3218]

Austin Butler is incredibly talented and he is very easy on the eyes, but it's this whole demeanor that makes him so incredibly intoxicating! I've watched so many videos and he always is so genuine and sweet and personable! He's worked hard for a long time and he deserves this success!

[@darrenkellman5780]

This guy is the man right now. It's amazing how his life is changed for ever.

[@julianovitski6556]

I just love how invested he is in other people's lives. Like who just knows a kid's middle name like that? I love that

[@valmacclinchy]

That stood out to me immediately. Austin was amazing in the Elvis movie. So glad I saw it on the big screen. Phenomenal.

[@KJWaymont_watt]

Never have I had to stifle sobs during a movie before. I've aways been a massive Elvis fan so was sceptical going in to see it but, Austin became Elvis. The whole team involved in this movie were great. Definitely want to see it again.

[@athenas5959]

i just wanna hear austin talk for hours, he’s so captivating

[@kevinchristensen8785]

He has an old school vibe about him. He’s like from the old Hollywood of the 30s.

[@plasticlove8114]

I would say from the 50s bcs of his hairstyle

[@linusgoh3365]

He could play James Dean

[@cut1986]

YES. You nailed it. Could not put my finger on it! Thanks.

[@calisongbird]

@@cut1986 One thing that distinguishes Austin Butler from other Gen Z and Millennial celebrities is his diction. He doesn’t use useless filler words like “um” and “like” every other word, or pepper his speech with slang, uptalk, vocal fry, etc. He speaks properly, with confidence, and I would not be surprised if he has had specific diction and PR training in this area. It’s refreshing. That’s one reason he projects a classic, Old Hollywood movie star vibe. That and his actual voice, which is at a surprisingly low register. He also has a calm, authoritative demeanor which is reminiscent of the alpha male energy of those Old Hollywood movie stars. He’s not coked up and frenetic. He does not project the “please love me” insecurity/desperation I’ve seen in so many other young celebrities. He knows who he is. That’s a massively attractive and charismatic quality.

[@jayt9234]

Seen the Elvis movie last night. What a roller-coaster of a movie! Stunning, absolutely amazing music, beautiful cinematography, mad fast beginning, but the 50s sets and costumes and fashion are just fantastic, felt like i jumped into a time machine. Austin butler embodied Elvis, defiantly an Oscar winner. Should have been so much more of the amazing Elvis music.

[@shanerose7204]

Saw Elvis earlier today with my family and I loved every minute of it. Austin absolutely nailed it, and I just know somewhere in Heaven The King is smiling down on him.

[@channelabdullaev]

I’ve watched this interview so many times and I still smile so hard my face hurts whenever Austin story tells. What a doll and beautiful soul!

[@evelyn-ts8rk]

I admire this man so. much. he's so down to earth and humble, I LOVE HIM

[@azureskies119]

Austin Butler has such a low tone with this soft rumbly voice. You just can't help leaning in to listen to him tell his story. Hypnotic.

[@QueenWms]

He needs to do one of those tapes that soothes you to sleep.

[@tymeadors855]

His voice is so cool! I don’t remember him sounding like this years ago, so I guess he just gets better with age

[@LovedByYou]

He’s from Anaheim!!!

[@MisterFoxx]

Austin looks like he would be at home on Graham Norton. He's so relaxed and comfortable.
