Austin Butler on swinging into stardom after ‘Elvis’

[@misssophie6515]

not the most sensitive interviewer, but it is amazing how wide open AB always is, many people would retreat and give standard answers when it gets a little too deep, but he is always so truthful and genuine. I wish him the best life and career, he deserves it so much and can be a great role-model, showing people what is possible

[@AngelasJoys]

What a lovely young man. I'm a 60 year fan of Elvis Presley. This fellow deserves that Oscar. He was the movie. He became Elvis.

[@joanncoopertroupe3506]

God Bless Baz !! for Knowing this was your Part in Elvis!!

[@ruthnagarya2028]

AUSTIN is definitely a blessing, he's grounded, strong and yet shy, a work ethic we ALL can be jealous of, a humble man who knows what it's like to come up the HARD WAY and his laugh towards the end of the interview was totally infectious!!!

[@joanncoopertroupe3506]

Congrats Austin!! You Nailed it On Elvis Movie!! Stay Humble!! You Will Go. Far!! God Bless You Hugs Jo Ann age 64 North Florida!!

[@texastank9413]

The most impressive thing about Austin's performance is his ability to portray Elvis in 3 different decades. That alone is phenomenal. What a great movie. He deserves the academy for dedicating 3 years of his life to perfecting this transformation.

[@memphisflashfan1]

Yes and I would add how he has approached with great humility those “senior” actors and directors who have lessons to impart to him and learned from them. It’s very interesting to watch and listen to him speak about Denzel Washington, Quentin Tarantino, Baz, Hanks, Pitt and Leo. He doesn’t act like he’s one of them or a peer but rather someone who respects what he can learn. At the different award ceremonies you can see them smile at him with an affection. He’s making a lot of friends among his seniors because of his humility and warmth.

[@miriedewaal6668]

You make us proud!😇

[@melaniecleveland3773]

He gave this movie everything he had to make it an Epic Film!!

[@DYA9091]

He is so vulnerable, so truthful, so present, so gentle, so kind, so angelic; I admire him deeply, for his massive talent, unwavering passion and work ethic, and his beautiful pure soul, Austin is absolutely unique.

[@lifeissweet9826]

I am recalling two other big stars who came out like rockets, Kevin Costner and Matthew McConaughey when starting out. They had small roles before getting that one big one. They definitely got the media treatment and have remained high profile all these years. I think Austin has what it takes to ride this wave. I hope he listens to his team.

[@DYA9091]

@NDY I've met him several times since he was doing the Iceman Cometh. And btw he was absolutely magnificent as Don Parritt.

[@lifeissweet9826]

[@lifeissweet9826]

"I'm Elvis Presley, and that's what I do. ". Truer words were never spoken. Give the man the Oscar that always eluded the King. Lisa Marie wanted it.

Congratulations Austin today you won the BAFTA for best Leading Actor, for many awards you have won so far. For portraying Elvis Presley in a wonderful way. Your talent, your love, you dedication is prove you are an amazing human being and great actor.

[@littlesister7021]

I just loved this interview this morning. Austin is one amazing man. He's so talented, humbled by his success. So touching when he spoke about his mother. Austin is such a blessing. He deserves nothing but the best. I'm so happy for him that he won the Bafta award today. I'm praying he will win the Sag and Academy Award. Love You, Austin. God Bless You.

You've got to love this man. He's just beautiful inside and out. I'm a 70 year old British Grandmum and I am just so impressed by him. I wish nothing but the best for him for the future. Can I adopt him as a surrogate grandson, please?! 🙂 (NuttyNanaB)

[@gailvarchula5542]

AUSTIN WAS WONDERFUL AS ELVIS. DESERVES OSCAR. BEST WISHES TO AUSTIN.

[@cryforthemoon]

It's amazing how Austin's mother taking him to auditions and classes affected other people. We saw what a comfort and relief his portrayal of Elvis was for his daughter Lisa Marie. She was so used to people not getting her father even close to right and making him a joke. I am glad that she at least had his performance and that movie in her time of mourning her son and last days. That movie helped her get out of her house after 2 years.

[@valerielove9837]

Well said!!

I agree ! I just hope that fame and Hollywood doesn't change him...

Austin is the sweetest. I met him at an industry screening of ‘Elvis’ and had been a fan since ‘switched at birth’ Because I’m disabled. He was so sweet and so kind. I saw him about a month later at another industry event and he saw me and jumped off the stage to give me a hug. I’m so proud of his success. ❤

[@MalloryNewcomb]

That is so sweet! Glad he could give you some love and a good memory

[@sarahdanielle7591]

He had me choked up talking about his mom. Why can’t we just hug him Omgoodness what a Beautiful man he is.😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@realloismarlene]

I was floored when l saw his performance. Just flat-out floored. If my mother could have seen Austin Butler as Elvis, she would have bawled her eyes out. Now she really loooved Elvis. Worshipped might be a better word. We saw every Elvis movie - good or really bad - and bought every album. Even Christmas was an all Elvis Christmas. So, of course, l love him, too🤭.

I feel the same and I’m a grad student in cancer biology. Just love seeing him find his light working his tail off because he’s doing what he loves. In my life I want to find something I love as much as he loves acting

What an angel he is. Having left high school at 15 and not attended college, you can tell from the way he speaks and how very bright and articulate he is, that he must have been raised very well and read and studied a lot on his own. He is such a bright light. I wish him all the best now and going forward. I hope he has a wonderful life!

Nothing against Kaia, but still wish you and Vanessa were together yet.
