Making Of ELVIS (2022) - Best Of Behind The Scenes & On Set Interview With Austin Butler | HBO MAX

[@Paolamusic]

The fact that Elvis passed on an August 16 and Austin was born on an August 17 speaks volumes to the magical casting of this boy for the role.

[@alexkx8599]

And it's weird that month and his name share the first couple of letters, lol. 🙄 I'm just saying! 🤪

[@thejoshbarboza2603]

NO WAY REALLY?! My grandma loves Elvis and I guess I’m her favorite I’m not sure but MY birthday is August 17th! I didn’t know Austin’s was too!!!

I'm impressed with Austin Butler.He nailed it and I hope that I will see Oscar in his hands!

[@jamesmcqueen6038]

Austin should give the Oscar to Graceland because that's where it belongs. Elvis is still with us : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIK7ZnSZgqqheZY Elvis still lives in Spirit because he loved everyone regardless of their color. He was given his talent and voice by God.

If Rami Malek could win oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, so can Austin as Elvis. Rami was great but in my opinion Austin surpassed even that. His rigorous training in vocals was definitely a plus too!

[@daisyroots8926]

Absolutely… if he doesn’t win an Oscar gif this , then the academy should fold

[@NYCGAL328]

I agree, Austin was way better

[@jermainechan8477]

Agreed! For Bohemian Rhapsody, I still saw Rami portraying Freddie Mercury. But for Austin, he became Elvis himself and that's all I saw. He definitely deserves an Oscar!

Rami Malek a autant de talent que Austin Butler ! Freddie vs Elvis, y'a pas à trancher car les 2 se valent et ils méritent l'oscar chacun de leur côté de la Meilleure interprétation pour ces 2 Magnifiques persoones !!! 🤷😉🥰

Watched the movie twice! The first time I was focusing on evaluating resemblances, but the second time I was purely watching Austin channeling Elvis! What a great performance! Austin deserves an Oscar!

I did the same thing!!

[@JeanetteFaith]

@JENNIFER JONES I've heard a few people say they were a bit disappointed the first time because no one but Priscilla was in it, but loved it the second time. I imagine Priscella is the one who wanted Ann-Margaret, Linda Thompson, Diana Goodman, and the last fiance out of the movie.

ELVIS the film, is a MASTERPIECE. Austin Butler is beyond mesmerising as Elvis, just an astonishing level of talent.

[@loromas63]

Austin channeled Elvis and gave him back to us for awhile. What a gift to Lisa and Pricilla.

[@fj3300]

I took my grandma to see this and she cried so many tears of joy remembering iconic moment after iconic moment. Elvis has span 5 generations of our family... and he thought he accomplished nothing. True story of the never ending search to be loved.

[@AndySaenz]

Elvis Presley is smiling down from Heaven, telling Austin Butler “thank you very much”.

[@jamietownsend7253]

Don’t usually watch these KZbin movie videos. Nor do I comment often. But I saw the movie. Austin Butler is like no actor I’ve ever seen. Exceptionally talented is an understatement. Who can act, sing, dance, move, walk, smile like someone everyone knows. Especially if that person is Elvis Presley. Elvis is - will always be the King of Music Entertainment. Austin Butler will always be the King of A Leading Actor Role - in his portrayal of him. No lip syncing - Amazing!!!

Butler's performance just goes to show how literal years or eating, sleeping, and breathing a role has such amazing results. granted there is obviously insane levels of talent when it comes to this guy but his commitment to a role is what really blows me away. it's also crazy to see an actor essentially re-live the character's life who they are portraying; from what I can tell, Butler was a pretty minor actor until this role so it seems that the nervous energy he had about wanting to make it big translated to Elvis's own climb to stardom. bravo all around 👏

I think he is so much better looking than either of those two. All I know is that he has tremendous dramatic acting skills that need to be utilized to their fullest. P.S. If you are younger and unfamiliar to who James Dean was, google him; Austin said it is one of his most admired actors from the 50s. He died at 24 and only made 3 pictures, but all were Oscar nominated.

He's going to be in Dune part 2. And he's already worked with Tarantino, fairly safe to assume he's gone right to the top. I'd be more concerned about him going a bit mad from all the attention than anything about his career.
