Austin Butler on Elvis and Why it Took Months After Filming to Find Himself Again
Jun 20 2022
With writer-director Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis opening in theaters this weekend around the world, I recently got to speak with Austin Butler about playing the “King of Rock and Roll" in the biopic. During the interview, Butler talked about the pressure of taking on such an important role, how it took him months after filming to find himself again, why he didn’t see his family or friends for two years while working on the film, being scared to have Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley see the film, and more.
