@Kate: I really like your comment Kate and it makes me think about just what a wonderful person Sean is. I found myself thinking today for the first time ever, I wonder if he has become close friends or even just general friends with any celebrity he has met on the show? Because clearly you can see there's a connection that happens for a lot of them because Sean is just so authentic and so genuine. When Austin says "We should do this more often" (or something to that effect) you can tell he's really enjoying it. So yeah I find myself wondering what friendships, if any, have come out of this for Sean?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many ‘Wow, what a great question!’s in my life than from guests on this programme.

I heard someone say Austin calms down and slows down everything around him and that’s just so true. It’s not just his voice, which is soothing, but it’s the way he tackles every question. No matter how fast or rushed the interviewer is (not talking about Sean), Austin moves smoothly in his own pace. Like he said about holding the pause, he’s not afraid to take a second, really think and give a thoughtful response. Its also the confidence, he may be shy but he’s very sure of what he’s saying because he has already put in the work, he knows he’s not just talking out of his a**. Lots to learn and apply in our own life from him. Also, he really didn’t struggle that much with the spice!

[@theratofallmydreams]

i just finished reading Jeanette McCurdy’s “i’m glad my mom died”, and watching this video it really stands out to me how healthy Austin’s relationship with his mom must have been. It’s so normalised for child stars to have toxic relationships with their parents that it’s so endearing to hear how fondly Austin recounts memories of his mother

[@nightingale4786]

yes! i was just thinking this! beyond the fact that he himself wanted to act and his mom simply nurtured that, she also made sure to spend quality time with him that wasn't just work related

[@MalloryNewcomb]

Huh, I hadn’t thought of that! Interesting comparison. But it kind of makes sense since Jeanette and Austin were both child actors & Austin was even on iCarly briefly. They both lost their mom which puts them in a rare category of similarity. His mom was the one to really encourage his love of acting because she cared about him. As a human being Lori Butler sounds far more well-adjusted than Jeanette’s mom did. Sounded like Jeanette’s mom had a lot of issues and the way she traumatized her poor daughter is not the only way those issues manifested. I do think given how many child stars turn out “messed up” like having some rebellious period or being severely traumatized and struggling with their identity… it is interesting how Austin did not… and I wonder if a caring, present mom was a big part of that. And just man she sounded like such a fun mom… makes me think of how I read Princess Di always tried to get her kids to go to Disney, feed the homeless and go shopping at Marks & Spencer. Great fun and like she’s experiencing this stuff with her kids like it’s the first time herself

[@theratofallmydreams]

@@nightingale4786 absolutely ! especially considering they both began in the same industry (disney/nickelodeon); the differing parental relationships are really evident in the relationships each respective actor has with the industry. Whilst Jeanette’s is resentful and negative, Austin’s is admirable and positive. His mother really is a credit to him and I’m glad he acknowledges that in regards to his success :)

[@theratofallmydreams]

@@MalloryNewcomb definitely ! it’s comforting to know that there are people who emerge from the laborious and burdensome child-acting industry with positive experiences and enthusiastic mindsets. Other actors that come to mind with apparent similar experiences are the Harry Potter kids (Harry, Rupert and Emma). It really highlights the impact of being surrounded by considerate and compassionate adults, as well as positive parental relationships, has on the outcome of the ordeal. Whilst Austin’s experience appears to be somewhat unique when it comes to this particular industry, it’s rather heartwarming to see the extent to which he credits his mother as a contributor to his success :)

I love the look on the guests faces when Sean asks his questions. They all look so pleasantly surprised. Sean and his team do an incredible job researching the guests and asking them professional, fun, and thought provoking questions. You don't see that with a lot of interview hosts. Sean seems like such a genuinely good guy, who is genuinely interested in getting to know people. Love him and this show!

[@freyjana6778]

I swear this guy is the most courteous, sweet, and authentic celebrity I have ever seen. The way he talks about his mom...my heart. What an incredible human, all wrapped up in a beautiful outer package. Hollywood has a keeper there. 💛

[@skulledphoenix]

What I always like about Austin's interactions is that he seems restrained at all times. Inside of him might very well be an acting magnet soaking everything he can possibly use up, but he's humble about it and polite. He also seems to be absolutely genuine in his interactions with others, commands respect. Tremendous talent and heart.

[@silversnackan7037]

This was one of the best Hot Ones in a while. Light-hearted, fun and Austin seemed to genuinely enjoy himself the whole way through.

I agree. I watched him on the actors roundtable and he came across as a very thoughtful and decent person, who was genuinely interested in listening to the stories of the others around him without any hint of ego at all. He seems to live in the moment and gives those he is with his complete attention without it ever seeming forced or insincere.

I know he's kind of joking about being Bob Ross, but once he said it, I can honestly kind of see him playing him. Just slap an afro wig on him. He's got the vibe of Ross 100%.

[@ariag.8745]

Having not seen the movie Elvis yet this was my introduction to Austin Butler. What a genuine, authentic, kind and warm-hearted individual. I was so touched at the end of the show by his obvious show of affection and bonding that he experienced with Sean in just that short time. Of course we've seen that before with many other guests: they just respond so beautifully because Sean also is very genuine and authentic. I'm intrigued by his voice. What an unusual kind of whispery voice he has. I wonder if that's his natural voice or if that was something he intentionally decided to develop much like Lauren Bacall did as part of his persona as an actor. I guess I'll never know the answer to that one. But overall a lovely introduction to Austin Butler. He's definitely on my radar now!

[@hannah80871]

That is not his natural voice, I believe it is a remnant of the voice he had to learn to emulate Elvis in the film.

[@cleverusername9369]

This is apocryphal, but I've heard (re: his voice) that he trained so long and so hard for Elvis that he found it extremely difficult to get out of the voice. They were filming during covid lock downs so he practiced the Elvis voice so thoroughly it just kinda took over. Shows the level of dedication and responsibility he felt to get the role right, and in this sports fan's humble opinion, he nailed it.

[@DYA9091]

It is his natural voice, there's a lot footage to prove it!!

[@mickeybreezy]

@@DYA9091 It is now, but it didn't used to be. Doing all that singing and talking like that for the movie potentially damaged his vocal chords and altered his voice, possibly permanently.

I went into this thinking that Austin Butler was just another actor that was cast for his looks. I mean, I almost skipped this episode out of disinterest. How wrong I was. It's obvious that he is well-trained and takes his craft seriously. His ability to verbalise what makes a scene great, and how aware you need to be is spot-on. And Sean has a way of bringing out something in his interviews that very few can match. The set-up with the hot-wings helps, but Sean is a master, and the researchers are so on point with their questions. Bravo.
