His wide knowledge range of the performing art is awesome, and the way he delivered all that in such soft spoken voice is beyond compare...
You deserve the all the best, Austin 💯
I continue to be inspired by how level-headed this young man seems to be. The conversation on "you are enough" is so insightful for someone of his age. I pray he is able to keep being this person that is so deserving of everything he has coming to him at this time. I wish I knew him personally. His conversations are always so grounding. Wishing you the best Austin.
i love him so much. he is just so genuine and sweet and his voice is just so warm and ugh i can’t.
hope he stays that way!
I absolutely love the idea of fear being 'just there' and to "welcome it" or "I see you" - knowing that Austin had fear shooting this film helped me through a couple of fearful times recently; it's different for all of us but to know it won't cripple you is amazing! AND that we grow as we face our fears :)
Austin you have endless qualities. You are so humble, sweet, unbelievably talented, and so beautiful on the eyes. You are so calm, your voice is intoxicating. Your hair is actually sensual. You so deserve the Oscar.
I have been a fan of Elvis since 4 years old. I have said MANY times that no one could ever play him. Austin did it. There is no ceiling above Elvis. It's not because I love Austin, I love Elvis,. He did it.
Austin is wise beyond his years.
SOOOOOO right, you are... ❤️
He’s an absolute kind sweetheart !❤
Austin is so very well spoken ❤️
He seems so sensitive and kind. I hope he wins the Oscar. Great interview.
When they switched to the real Elvis in Unchained Melody my wife gasped, I don't think she had ever seen that footage of Elvis before. That was so sad.
And then, followed to the childhood photos of Elvis in MS, brought tears to my eyes.
I was both amazed and in awe at Austin’s portrayal of Elvis. He is incredible and this movie touched my heart. I was in tears at the end!
I just love his uplifting inspirational advice !! Bless him heart & soul!!!
His voice is perfect.
I saw a series he did before he made the movie Elvis, his voice and so on.
Perfect!
Austin you eminiate your love to your Mother by giving her the part of Elvis and watching the clip of Elvis singing Unchained Melody drives truly shows your love to her and how Elvis loved his mother. You deserve for the Oscar for committing your role as Elvis himself. Love your work and it is being recognize by others for your Great talent. 😚
Thank you, Austin! I never tire of repeating how brilliant You are. You have no reason to compare yourself to others, You shouldn't listen to the media at all, it doesn't matter at all what others think of us if we've given our best. The fact that we constantly doubt ourselves probably comes with us from childhood and we have to let it all go... It was so nice to listen to you again, how honestly you talk about everything. Thank you very much and all the Best. Be Happy and it is our decision to choose to be Happy and not to listen to the nonsense that is happening in our head but to feel with our Heart because it never lies to us... All the beautiful things in Your life... You are the Best...Thank You!
🙏🤍💎🤍🙏
I adore this man. Absolutely captivating.
Like Elvis ....Austin is ahead of his time....such a joy to listen to this mens voice....truly talented...beyond his years...
Austin is an amazing individual! No ego there!!
I honestly just listened to his voice after a bit because his voice is so soothing and calm and gentle!!:)
We need Austin to take Variety’s lie detector test 🤩💚
This kid's attitude is fantastic! And so is hair. The attitude in his hair, is freaking fantastic!!!! And his cool, low, sexy voice, is freaking FANTASTIC!!!! This guy....is fantastic!!!
I call him "Awesome Butler".
😅😅 Patty, I think you’ve come in first place with the very best adjective to use as his first name!!!
“AWESOME” says it all ❤. ❤. ❤.
So sweet & humble & now w a Bafta ❤
I totally agree 💯
soothing voice calm vibe and humble
I just hope he stays that way. Hollywood has brought good men down. Stay strong Austin stick to your values.
@Kitcancanu i hope so aswell but i feel this generation of his knows better to what matters on the long run
I like how he emphasizes "you are enough".
Without sounding sappy, lol... Elvis was introduced to me at a very young age and ever since I've been captivated! I loved his voice and undeniable passion, his warmth and kindness. I could go on and on 😂 And I still do to this very day. I can't quite believe that even for a second Elvis thought he wouldn't really leave an impact after death! If only he could see now, just how big of one he left! 🌟 His music and sunshine has helped me so much in so many ways! This movie was just so stunning and so emotional. Austin truly did an incredible job. I don't think I could have wished for a better Elvis other than the king himself. ❤ Also, I so appreciate how much research and effort he put into this film. It was beautiful. Austin is so multi-talented, skilled at his craft, kind, wise, genuine, down to earth, funny - the list goes on! This man has so many great qualities as well, and I wish him the best and look forward to see more of him! The fact it was filmed in Australia as well dvgnhdh, I’ve wanted to act since I was little and it fueled me with such hope and inspiration! Also that segment on, “you are enough” Thank you 💕 Hope everyone is doing well xx - Char. 😊
Fantastic comment! Although, I just hope he stays humble and doesn’t get crushed by fame. I’m so happy that he got the recognition he deserves, and can share to the world his journey to this point and inspire others. I’m sure you’d be a lovely actor Char. “You can be anything.” - Barbie. If you set your mind to it, you can achieve it. God bless you, and your family. Hope is everywhere. Elvis will always be in our hearts! ❤️👑
@SJ Ahh ikr it is so sad to see such lively spirits broken down by the negative sides to these industries. And thank you, thank you very much as Elvis would say hehe, that really means a lot! 💐 That is true! God bless. 💫
He's so Elvis. But he's Austin, too. That's why he will skyrocket! 🚀
So humble this guy.
Awesome Austin deserves all nominations
He makes me so happy ❤️
Austin Butler your dreams have come true and I can see your future blooming more you are young talented gifted gentlemen.
Drinking Häagen Daz sounds good ~ I'd like to have that ~ God he is such a cutie 💖
I love Austin’s voice, but I can barely understand his soft toned quiet voice. I’m surprised he never caught a mixed accent like Johnny Depp. I think he made Baz’s accent a bit more American though, haha! I had to rewatch Elvis, with subtitles so I could understand what they were saying, I couldn’t even understand the Colonel. (Tom Hanks) 😂 Hope I’m not the only one.
Love him too but remember he’s a human being
Austin thinks what he’s going to say, he talks about how it’s going to be with covet, and after and that’s what he did,
Life lessons about living in the moment. Listen up! 👂
Austin Butler you are a mega mega mega star get used to it sonshine can't wait for your next movie amazing actor
please, we all need more Evan Peters! 🔥😭🙏🏻 Especially in romantic movies!🍿 He’s on TOP now, so please, can we see an interview with Evan🔥??🙏🏻
I NEED AUSTIN TO BE MY THERAPIST IS HE AVAILABLE TOMORROW?
I did enjoy the Elvis movie - however Austin entirely missed to capture Elvis sense of humor which a lot of people don’t realize he had unless you are a die hard fan. Nevertheless I wish this bright young man all the best in the future. On another note ….he was NOT the movie director….
There's is a lot of Elvis' denver of humor in the film, I suggest you watch it again, also he didn't decide what scenes were put in the movie. Austin didn't "missed" anything.
I just love him and his a fantastic sctor and very humble snd sexy
*adds Rick Shores Restaurant to my list of places to eat*
So glad you stayed awesome Elvis movie
You are enough ❤
Wow your face so comfortable voice and congrats 🤟
I have your back Aust.🤩
Why was this re-uploaded? There's nothing additional either
Yeah I noticed this too.
Some people missed it the first time. Not a problem for me.
the best
He seems like he just woke up.
OMG AUSTIN MY EP TWO
Wow
The wiggles too too cugga cugga big red car
Didn’t u already upload thisb
Sup
Is he comparing his ‘career’ to Leonardo Dicaprio’s career? 😂
thanks for the click bait Variety 😂 wtf Ryan Gosling has to do with this guy.
I mean there's nothing wrong with being envious of someone else. That's literally what he said and he also said he learnt not to do that
@Miss shah @LolLolilil if that's what you two "got" from what he said, I really feel sorry for you, your lack of comprehension and depth is sad
He wants to be a great actor and excel in his field and Leo is a good example of that, especially in his earlier years.
@Danny not really that's literally what he said.... Do you not understand English?💀
@Miss shah that's not what he said, it isn't about envy; he is talking about admiration, about being able to get to that point; that's why he mentions the fear, feeling like he isn't enough, how he felt he was behind, and how he learned to not compare himself (his career) in the sense of (for example) "the subject of my admiration had already done X thing at 25, and I'm 27 and I haven't been able to get to that point in my career"
I wish someone would tell him to lose the facial hair.
Does it personally affect you? Is it causing you pain or something? Is it preventing you from achieving something?
..THE ELVIS FILM WILL NEVER COMPARE TO THE MICHAEL BIOPIC SET TO RELEASE IN 2025! Nice try Austin but you can't even come close! You're not even related to Elvis. Michael is going to have his blood line NEPHEW play him in his biopic. It doesn't get any more royalty than that. How does it feel? And don't think for a second we forgot the executives of 'Elvis' thought it was fitting to release the film the day before Michael's death anniversary on June 25th. You are NOT forgiven for that one. Michael >> Elvis. Long live the King!!
This isn't a competition. Elvis has his own fan base just like Michael. Austin doesn't deserve the grudge you're feeling right now. He did a brilliant job just as Michael's nephew can do too.
Seek help please
he’s come so far and made it, it inspires me to follow my dreams as well 🫶🏻
