He is like old Hollywood.He is such a nice person and very humble handsome guy. Hope he wins both awards.
old hollywood, i love that
Wat the heck is OLD HOLLYWOOD? TIM DILLION JR LOL
They all are, until they start making millions.
Totally! In the Jimmy Stewart mold.
He's humble
Austin literally deserves every award there is this season
agreed
Ong ❤
For being in a make believe Elvis film?
He was good, and might get a few nominations, but he won't win many. Brendan Frasier is way more likely to swoop up the award shows with his insane performance in "The Whale". And maybe Paul Dano in "The Fabelmans". There are many performances way stronger than Austin Butler this year.
EDIT: Well I'll be the first to admit i was wrong about this one. As Butler already collected his Golden Globe. 😆
@@FabledGentleman love Paul! But Brendan deserves it. IMO.
His voice is like butter. I could listen to him all day.
No wonder he won the Golden Globe. The man is an acting genius - the pinnacle of professionalism. I hope he wins an Oscar. 👏
He will.
I hope they don’t pocket him into other parts only Elvis rolls.
@@gracieg7601
He will do a better James Dean than he did with Elvis
@@Elvis_Pond5No encuentro la palabra que defina a AUSTIN como el mejor actor que he visto mis 80 años . Elvis
ha sido mi amor x siempre.
Perfectly said!! Agreed ..a genius! His portrayal...Unparalleled...Second to None!!
I lived in Memphis for 30 years and I saw just about every wanna be impersonator that came thru town. None of them did the job that Austin did. He nailed it.
Austin thought about the psychology of Elvis and what he went through. I think that goes a long way. Elvis just wasn't wallpaper. He was a real person.
I hope Austin's performance inspires more of them to embody rather than impersonate Elvis. They really need to up their game and show Elvis the respect that Austin did.
Exactly.. Austin actuall made me feel Elvis at times..That has never been done!
@@cryforthemoon jĵjjĵ
Wow, that's a beautiful compliment ❤
I can't believe he was an underrated actor before, playing mainly love interests. He is so talented, I want to see him playing more roles where he can shine.
Hi x
He was already great in Tarantino films. I'm glad he's famous now.
Except normal movie schedules and preparation are only weeks from booking so Covid was the perfect storm in that it allowed Austin over a YEAR to immerse himself. Don’t get me wrong, he is phenomenal-I watched the movie 3x in theaters alone. 😅😮❤
Baz believed in him and gave him the chance of his life. Baz is truly so kind to have done that cuz he did not judge his "underated" career, he saw in him a huge potential.
Why didn't he save Lisa Marie?? Austin Buttface.
He is old school. I love the dedication to acting as a craft.
Everyone keeps saying movie star like that's a huge compliment. Make no mistake he has that kind of star power, but unlike so many others who want the fame, he really is dedicated, first and foremost, to his craft. Between that, his good looks and his humble and generous personality he should go far. I just hope he has a good therapist 'cause he going to have a lot to deal with.
What a lovely young man! He's got perfect manners and just speaks so highly of everyone he meets. For that alone he deserves awards. Plus he's incredibly talented. Good job, Austin!! 😊
You can well tell that he was raised right
Omg his humility is what touches me. Such a beautiful man inside and out. Thank you for presenting Elvis to a new generation. Onto the Oscars!!!!
Seriously. He is so polite and well spoken. Elvis would be proud he has a man like that representing his name!😊
Give props to Austin!! He really nailed the role of Elvis!!
By not looking like him at all.
@@markb.265that’s not the point at all. No one can look like Elvis because they are not Elvis. But Austin embodied and studied every aspect of his life for years that he made us believe that he was him.
elvis is on bluray and dvd now
Buy û
@@markb.265 arguably he does actually have similar facial features to elvis, his face shape, nose, lips, and eyes all have a similar look to that of elvis. Also no one looks exactly like him and never will so I’m not sure that is a good argument.
He looks like a cross between a young Brad Pitt and a young Val Kilmer. And he sounds like a cross between Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. And on top of being absolutely gorgeous, he also has real musical talent. Another cool thing about him is he's not some silver spoon Hollywood kid. A random talent agent discovered him walking around Orange County Fairgrounds when he was 13 and got him auditions with Nickolodean. He was middle class. His parents divorced at 7 and his mom died of cancer when he was just 23. So he's dealt with some real-life struggles. He's also 31 and just now getting his foot in the door in leading roles so he's paid his dues in small time acting roles the last 18 years. Couldn't be happier for him. Never hear a bad word about him in Hollywood.
I've been saying how much he reminds me of Brad!
Thanks for the info. Very sad about his mom and now Lisa Marie. He was awesome! Oscar worthy!!!!🎉
Correction: He was 23 or 24 years old when his mom died (his mom died in 2014. He was around the same age as Elvis when Elvis's mom died). Agree with everything else though
SOOOO TRUEEE
I agree that he looks a great deal like Brad Pitt circa 1994-1995.
Austin Butler, is a humble and polite person. Hope he never becomes jaded.
Give him an Oscar already. The man deserves it.
Why didn't he save Lisa Marie?? Austin Buttface.
Sorry but Oscar’s so white
@This Machine Kills Fascists are u mad? He is not a doctor or life's saver.He saved her leaving her in tears after watching his performance in Elvis .
@@thismachinekillsfascists1138 That is so stupid and his name is Austin Butler, have some respect.
nyope. butler is a vacuous nothing. winner is fraser.
Austin Butler seems so humble and grateful for the Elvis experience.
And even that humble and shy feeling is so like Elvis.
@@dorarobertson3608 Personality just like Elvis was.
❤️
Yes he most definitely was grateful!! Amazing Transformation into this role of Elvis!! He nailed it beautifully! No one has ever done Elvis better ..No One!!
💕💕
I can’t believe he did all his own singing. Phenomenal.
Yes, Austin did the speaking voice and singing voice, well.
But he doesn't fool my brain into looking like Elvis.
This guy is so magnetizing, he's just amazing... haven't had a star like this in the movie industry for a long time...maybe Marlon Brando, then nothing for a long time and Austin Butler, fantastic, I love this guy!
Exactly
He's like a young Jude Law imo
❤️
Austin really deserves the oscar and all the other major awards, he wasn't just acting he became Elvis
You’re so right. It was like a metamorphosis but it two him two years of preparing for this role. I admire him so much. This young man will be seen much more I would hope. 😄
Austin Butler deserves an Oscar!
Agree
I totally agree with you.
Done ❕
He sounds and looks like the young Johnny Depp. Fully agree he deserves an Oscar for this role as Elvis.
Yesss
I thought I was the only one that noticed
Certainly
I can see some young Brad Pitt in him too.
Johnny Deep was & is ugly.
Austin is beautiful
His voice is mesmerizing. I can listen to him forever ❤️
What an intelligent, talented and NICE young man. Oh, and very easy on the eyes as well, let's not forget that.
Absolutely: he’s the whole package!
God. He is wonderful and rocking that open-shirt looks. Jesus.
I love how Austin is still respecting Elvis, still ⚡TCB⚡!
I think Elvis will forever be a part of him, like he's in his DNA now.
Austin said that Elvis was the only person that he never met, that he fell in love with. Speaks volumes for Elvis. Both of them lovable.
He’s so sweet, down to earth, humble, no ego and so talented! He deserves all the awards 😍✨
✨💫I feel he will be this generation’s Brad Pitt.
He’s got the skill, charm, humbleness, humor and looks. What a lovable gent.💫✨
Austin truly has an incredible amount of potential. He’s going a damn long way in his career. I’m so excited for him.
I'm old. Elvis was a brand new star when I started Highschool. I've loved him thru the years, the good, the bad the in between. But when he started recording Are You Lonesome Tonight, Solitaire, I'm Leavin, I Love You Because, Unchained Melody, I Miss You, and hundreds more I fell in love again and after death even more.
Austin is an unexpected gift to honor Elvis 45 years after his death. I'm still in awe of everything Elvis. Austin is a gift for me before I go,
@@dorarobertson3608 This is so sweet! You are a true Elvis fan!! Elvis was a gift from God on earth. God bless you ❤️❤️
☝️
He sounded like Elvis at the beginning. He is great. So hard working and even says good things about the show and Guillermo
.
I'm looking forward to Austin's future roles. He is a true artist.
Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis was the finest, most electrifying, moving performance that I have ever seen in my life. Wonderful actor and all accolades well deserved.
Agree mind blowing
His soul is so out of this world beautiful
I hope he wins every award because he nailed that role. I've watched Elvis like 5 times, he was is incredible.
MERCY JOSEPH Where did you watch it ??
Oscar = Fraser.
@@schatz1876it’s on HBO Max
@bobbyc912 thanks !!
i have watched this film about twenty times i watch it at leased once a day its so good
Isn’t he just the sweetest guy ever?
People think I'm obsess with Austin. But I'm okay with it, I am obsessed with him-and I think this is an obsession that doesn't hurt anyone😌
I know exactly what you mean I am also totally obsessed with him, I saw the movie 16 times in the cinema and 15 times so far on DVD. I love everything about him, he is such a cutie. He better win every award for ELVIS or there is going to be mass riots in the streets.
You are not alone girl.
Same lol
Same lol
This young man deserves the Golden Globe and the Oscar in March…he was absolutely mesmerizing in this role. ❤️❤️
He just won a golden globe lol
@@giggly117 FANTASTIC! I haven’t seen it yet as I had my dvr set and fell asleep. Congratulations Austin…❤️
Golden Globe OK. Oscar nyooope. Fraser.
Have you watched The Whale yet?
@@RyanInLA 0
He is so charming and authentic. I hope nothing changes him. Jimmy Stewart vibe.
Austin is so well spoken and is filled with so much gratitude. He deserves so much and I couldn't be more proud of him and how far he's come in his career. Nobody could have done a better job at portraying Elvis like he did. Not to mention he is grounded, down to earth and is such a sweetheart. I hope I get a chance to meet him someday. Doubtful though. I really enjoyed this interview!
He did an amazing job! Excellent movie! i went in thinking "another Elvis movie? Ugh?" I was SO wrong! So good!
Last spring I saw the Elvis trailers and couldn’t figure out who the young man was underneath all the makeup but I was like I’m not seeing Elvis. I see Austin Butler’s name in the credits and I’m like “ohhh” and as much as you would think I’m gonna be so pumped to see my original celebrity crush (I see you Zoey 101) I was like nooo why did they pick a California surfer looking boy to play Elvis this is gonna be a disaster.
Then I saw him on Jimmy Fallon and it totally changed my mind!
@@MalloryNewcomb same here when he did the Louisiana hayride speech my head exploded
both the christopher walken and the quentin tarantino voices were incredibly on point. hes not just an actor hes a Thespian™️
Why didn't he save Lisa Marie?? Austin Buttface.
True!
@@thismachinekillsfascists1138 stop it
@@Dubyular blop schlitz
Simmer down.
What an incredibly talented, polite, gracious and impressive young man! He came from humble beginnings, worked hard and truly appreciates everyone and everything it took to get to where he is now along his journey. Wish him continued success!
You have also just described Elvis! He has that little bit of shyness like Elvis had, too.
Just like Elvis, humble and super talented with major Charisma!
Austin Robert Butler you are so awesome. Hope to meet you in person one day.❤
he deserves EVERY SINGLE THING.
I’m a forever Elvis fan!! Loved the movie!! Should get an academy award!! I saw Elvis in Vegas!!!
Lucky you to have seen Elvis live in concert 👍🥰
❤️
That voice is so soothing. I could listen to him speak all day.
His acting is stunning. If he doesn't win the Oscar, something Is very, very wrong w/the world!
Austin is such a great actor . Love the movie.
Austin with the accents becoming more comfortable on these talk shows I love it!!! He's such a light in my life 😭
He really seems to have an ear for accents, which will take him a long way in the business. Don't know if you saw the interview where he was talking about being on a train with Stella McCartney and her dad, but he absolutely nailed Sir Paul McCartney. He just slipped in and out of it in the course of conversation, like he didn't have to pause for even a second. Amazing.
@@kindking8009 yesss I had seen it! He's incredible, he really nails it for sure! Also (just because it happened) I gotta say, he was so deserving for his Golden Globe!
Such a wonderful, talented actor but also a kind and humble human. Hope to see him in many roles in the future.
If Austin Butler doesn't win awards for Elvis he is definitely going to win the biggest awards in his career. He has turned into quite the genuine talent.
Austin definitely deserves the Oscar, let alone get the nom!
Austin absolutely deserves the Oscar and all the praises and awards, I am so amazed by his massive talent, he is absolutely magnificent, and he has this huge magnetism, he deserves all the best, may God bless him every single moment of his life.
a nomination should be in the bag
agreed
No he doesn't. He looks absolutely nothing like Elvis. I don't care if he had the moves. Other actors could have done just as well and they would have looked like him. He looks nothing like Elvis. NOTHING.
Brendan Fraser should get the oscar
@@zanderruth6039 I agree but give this man a Oscar nod!
That tape of him singing was incredible. He truly channeled Elvis.
Wow. What a charming, lovely, humble man. And his portrayal of Elvis was SPOT ON! I can't wait to see what he does next!
Austin was superb as Elvis. Great movie.
Austin was great in this interview, he was so at ease, funny and accurate in his words. He deserves every honor and award for this role. Kisses from Brazil!❤️🇧🇷
What I like about him is he's humble. The press he's getting would have gone to a lot of other celebrities heads but he's handling his fame remarkably well. I wish him much success in his future.
I could watch every interview of him ever. He is so fascinating. I’ve watched Elvis 4 times and about to watch it again, in honor of Lisa Marie, who so supported the film and Austin. He deserves all the awards this season! ❤
Austin deserves every award out there, Elvis was the best movie out there! The more I learn about the making of this movie, the more I fall in love with it. The costumes, the sets and of course THE PERFORMANCE! ❤
No he doesn't. There are plenty of other actors that resemble Elvis that could have done just as well or better. He looks nothing like Elvis. Don't you get that? NOTHING.
@@markb.265 lmao no one would have done better than Austin. The fact that he looks nothing like Elvis yet still is getting Oscar buzz definitely proves how good he is
@@markb.265 actually, no one can look like Elvis. There was something about his face that no one can emulate. But Austin is an ACTOR and he is getting awards for ACTING because he can look nothing like Elvis, because it’s a performance that brings a character to life.
@@markb.265 There is no one out there that looks like Elvis Presley It's the truth Austin Butler did amazing job and he worked hard for the role puting all that effort into all the research He did
@@newbeeify nah many people tbh. Maybe Miles Teller
He was pretty great on SNL. One of the better episodes this season so far.
HE was great, especially in the Jewish Elvis skit, but overall the writing on that show has really gone downhill. I'd love to see him host again with better skits.
I have not heard of anyone who was not blown away by Austin's performance. Amazing!
Austin Butler was absolutely wonderful. He did Elvis right on the mark. I have
been a Elvis fan since he started singing. Nothing in the movie was made up.
It all happened & I can think of a lot of things they didn't even put in the movie
that was recorded about him. He should get every trophy available. 🥰😍💖💯🏆
Think Elvis would have really liked that Austin played him, he's such a genuine person!
Tonight is the GOLDEN GLOBES. Kind of the ‘hint of what could happen at the Oscars’.
He deserves both of those awards. Like so many others have said, he deserves every award he’s nominated for.
And I think he’s been nominated for everything.
LOL WHO WILL PRESENT THE BEST ACTOR AWARD WILL SMITH IS BANNED ? I THINK CHRIS ROCK SHOULD DO THE HONORS LOL 😂🤣🤣
Such a KING! And he brought Lisa Marie out of her depression! Saw the photos and videos of her and Austin at her dads bday party! Haven’t seen her that happy in years! I’m so glad Austin became her surrogate son of sorts.. the both need each other. ❤ congrats Austin I hope you win all the awards! Looking forward to seeing all of your speeches!
wtf are you talking about
@@amonrodriguez3518 SHUT THE F UP! Austin and Lisa Marie look great together.. as if they were mom and son! They created a beautiful bond! I’m acknowledging that as well!
She still seemed sad in the pictures, but he took great care of her. I am sure he is like extended family at this point.
@@amonrodriguez3518 damn you’re rude.
@@TheDivayenta too be fair it was before she passed away. Wanna talk about rude people? Lol
Hope he wins all the major awards. So deserves it for all the hard work he put in.
Austin deserves all the awards this year. What he pulled off was just magical.
That Tarantino impersonation 😱👌☺️ Haha. Very nice interview with some new questions we haven't heard, yet. Loved the story about the hotdog buns and horse riding. I would love to pick Austin's brain some more about weird Elvis facts. 😅💜
Such a humble dude! Hopefully he makes it big in the Hollywood life 👏🏻 heading the right direction that’s for sure
A great actor and a class act!
What a humble young man. His voice is so soothing and he's so down to earth. Deserves every award but not only for doing a fantastic job in Elvis but being a great role model too.
Amazing , this young guy is as humble in spirit as Elvis was.
Austin did a sensational job! He nailed it
We should just throw an Oscar at him . Amazing
Just don’t hit him in the head, they weigh 8.5 lbs
Wow, go Austin! Saw the Elvis movie several times! Nobody has ever captured him like you did. I was blown away!
This man is magnetic, something about him, so powerful and intense. I haven't seen the movie but now I definitely will.
You will love it
You should watch it, it's so amazing seeing Austin transform into Elvis! The only thing that ruined it for me is the rap music they played in some parts. Rap music didn't exist back in the day so the film should've sticked to Rock&Roll or blues from that Era.
@@cocoxtina8366 oh,no. Why? Crazy.
@@citizenoftheearth6 Yeah I finally got to see the movie on NewYears & was so disappointed that they played rap music since it has nothing to do with Elvis or his music!
This interview was so calming and captivating I almost forgot I had to get ready for work.
What a talent.
Congratulations Austin on you’re GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD 🏆👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️💋💗🇺🇸
Never heard of Austin Butler until this Elvis movie arrived on the scene. I’ll certainly be looking for him now! He’s got Elvis nailed! Deserves all the kudos and more.
As a movie consumer one does not give enough credit for the preparation that goes in portraying a character on screen. More so for character that everyone knows. Well done. I enjoyed watching the movie.
Austin won me over when he hosted SNL.
I went to a fan screening of the movie a week before it hit theatres, and I took my 25 year old, hoping they could see why their mama was so in love with Elvis my whole life. A new fan was made that day! Austin was perfection! So glad he won the GG (even though I loved Brendan as well).
My 21 y/o son wants to see it too.
Austin was AMAZING in this role. I forgot I was watching an actor. He deserves an Oscar for this movie.
Both Elvis and Top Gun Maverick deserve awards
Yeah, but which ones, that's the question. I see TGM even winning for Best Picture. That would come as an earthquake in Hollywood.
I wish him well. I'm hoping this role continues to provide him with opportunities to extend and display his acting.
He still sounds like Elvis! He was amazing!!
Austin Butlers voice is as smooth as melted gold. His eyes would melt your soul…🥰
❤⚡ I love how Austin talks about Elvis showing so much respect.
All the awards for Austin!
I really would like to think that Elvis’s spirit was inside Austin during this performance Congratulations you’ve done well ❤
Austin you did an Awesome job and I think you deserve all the awards!! 🤗❤️ Congratulations!!!
Austin Butler is amazing! He was phenomenal in "Elvis" and he deserves every award out there. He worked hard in that movie. Give him the Oscar already!!
So incredibly proud of him. Was extremely excited when the Elvis trailer first came out and ended up seeing it 5 times. Will be cheering him on all throughout award season because he is just so talented and deserves it all, not to mention his gorgeous looks and genuine personality 💗💗
Austin Butler is Elvis incarcerated!
He nailed it with not only his voice, his laughs, mannerism, dancing moves, THE WHOLE NINE!
Not to mention how gorgeous he looked in his costume and black hair.
I’m glad he won the Oscars. Well deserved.
I’ve seen the movie like 3 times in the last couple of days.
Well done Mr. Butler 😍❤
He took the responsibility of the role so seriously, and committed to it so hard that he literally can't shake the voice!! That's the kind of pure committment you don't see very much these days. Fell in love with Austin over this movie, and have the UTMOST respect for him. He should be very proud of himself.. I'm sure his mother is 🤍👏
Just watched this movie today. He was great in it.
yeahh .. i m in love ❤❤❤
Amazing person . Austin you really deserve every award! I hope you win the Oscar!!!!!
Austin is awesome and had all the support of Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie and Riley...
He can play Johnny Depp if there was ever a film made about Johnny. For some reason I see the resemblance in his mannerisms. Elvis was a great movie. Austin deserves all the credit!!!
He deserves the world and more for that talent he has
His struggle to “make it” is what makes him so humble and have so much authentic charisma
Amazing performance of acting like Elvis .
Austin deserves every Award for best actor
Austin has a real talent for voice impersonations.
Yes he does and I'm hoping that talent, plus his dedication, will take him far in getting good roles. He just slips in and out of voices seamlessly, like he doesn't even hesitate. I was blown away when he was telling about being on a train with Sir Paul and Stella McCartney, how he just popped in and out of Paul's accent in the course of the conversation.
@@kindking8009 I'd love to watch that... do you have a link?
Austin seems so down to earth and sincere. I hope he has an AMAZING career.
