Austin Butler & Olivia DeJonge on ELVIS, Denzel's Casting Influence, Paying Homage to Black Culture 

That last answer from Austin was long winded and he knew it and he got so embarrassed at himself. And the two ladies encouraging him and telling him he did a good answer was so cute!

Austin during the last seconds of his answer is so shyyyy 🙈 the way he smiles,he moves around his chair, he nods his head and his hands hold the microphone 😍❤️ so incredibly cute guy 💘🙈🙊

Can’t get over how good he was as elvis

Wow it was good to hear Austin bring up the people that say he doesn't look enough like Elvis. I belong to a lot of Elvis groups on Facebook and there are still people complaining about that. My comment I always put when someone says, "No, he doesn't look like Elvis, they should have gotten an impersonator." My response is that: I think Austin's heart, soul, character, humbleness, talent, respect, manners, and spirit look a lot like Elvis, and that I'm grateful we have someone who dedicated everything he had and every hour of each day for over 2 years to give Elvis his due, and to honor him through his performance, and all "you" can think is that "they should have gotten an impersonator," which says that physical appearance is absolutely the only reason you are an Elvis fan, when Elvis was so much more than just his physical appearance.

Love that he mentioned how ppl say he doesn’t look like Elvis. I know this interview is a few weeks old but I think it’s safe to say, anyone who says he was the wrong casting has yet to see the film. I think nearly everyone who has seen the film now can agree that Austin captured Elvis sooo damn well. He was absolutely amazing.

His body language at the end is so endearing. You never really see celebrities do that.

It is true Austin didn’t look exactly like Elvis, but in the midst of watching the movie, I actually didn’t notice! He moved, emoted, and sounded just like Elvis and I felt like I was watching Elvis in real life. It’s only now watching snippets over and over that I notice that he didn’t look quite like Elvis . So, Austin, he did an awesome job. He accomplished what he wanted to do with the role, “capture Elvis’ humanity”. All I know is, emotionally, I was watching Elvis on the big screen. Not Austin.

Austin's role of a lifetime.. and he nailed it to the core!!! He's a true A-level actor!! The future is so bright for him, we really expect to see him in outstanding roles 👏👏👏

Do you want an impersonator, a fake, a caricature, a Halloween costume, a physical copy cat or Do you want an exceptional, dedicated professional, humble actor like Austin Butler who humanize and love one of the most wonderful artists ever existed?

I really love the fact that Olivia De Jonge is so respectful and gracious to Austin and he her. She doesn’t (or hasn’t) shown any angst (that I have seen or heard) about the fact he is more the centre of attention than her. Lovely!

Great job Olivia you are as beautiful as the wife❤️great acting

The best movie i have seen in a long time. Austin Butler was fantastic as Elvis. Another great movie from Baz Luhrmann. This is just the beginning from Austin..

There is a scene where it switches back and forth a couple times between Elvis and Austin singing, when Priscilla saw this she ask the director if it was Austin or Elvis singing and he said both , so in my opinion he looked exactly like him later on in the film the only way I could tell the apart was the shape of Austin’s eyes . That being said he did so good at getting down his movements , facial expressions and voice

Austin was just Amazing! In the film. He was meant to have the role. Austin just nails it all the way. I recommend everyone to see this Beautiful! and Fantastic! film.

people have to understand that looks is half the battle. you have to be able to act, adapt, and have drive. and even denzel himself said austin had drive and there’s no possible way the film could’ve been done better

Everyone needs to see this movie. It's got everything....chills and tears.

It's amazing how characterization and acting changes everything, when we're seeing Austin and Olivia in interviews, we can't imagine that they're Elvis and Priscilla from the movie, (except for Austin's voice, of course) that's amazing!

the last question he got embarrassed awn he did so good

First of all, he nailed it. Also, how sweet is he with that last answer and he gets all embarrassed and Olivia reassuring him it was good. 🥹

So cute how he keeps rocking his chair and she keeps trying to stop him 😂

Austin ____& Olvia❤❤

I love that they have both played characters that are so iconic and yet both still very humble, lovely to see.

I also think the whole “he doesn’t look like Elvis” thing is highly variable and depends a LOT on your age and how much you cared about Elvis before this movie. As a millennial, I thought he looked pretty similar to Elvis, but I’m sure that’s bc I didn’t grow up with Elvis as a living person/celebrity. I mean, no one is going to look exactly like another person, but he was certainly close enough.

I just saw the movie on Friday!! It was amazing, I 10/10 highly recommended to go see it. Wonderful job Austin butler, Olivia Dejonge and the director and other cast members!! Great job

Aw, that part at the end was so cute. He was so embarassed, but Olivia and the interviewer were so sweet to him about it. Austin is so adorably cute! I adore him and he has made me an even bigger fan of Elvis. I'm OBSESSED.

I lke the Denzel connection: Tom Hanks with him in 'Philadelphia" and Austin being reccomended by him for 'Elvis'.

Give this dedicated young man an OSCOR! He put his heart soul and two years living in Australia working to perfect Elvis! Job well done! Looked song moved like Elvis! WATCHING him on stage singing TROUBLE and the 68 Christmas special on stage I really felt I was WATCHING ELVIS in concert Live! So far I have loved this movie 7 times! OSCORS GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL BRILLIANT AWESOME MOVIE! 🥰fr. AUSTRALIA

About him not looking like EP: well said AB💯 Internet and haters need to take a back seat. AB did EP's heart and soul complete justice in this film. If you can't see and feel that while watching this film then you are not a true EP fan. ⚡️TCB⚡️ forever💯

If I ever had a chance to speak through to the other side to Elvis, I would say " If you ever did say, " I've never sung a lasting song, I won't ever be remembered " .... buddy you were so wrong ! " ...

The movie has the support of Lisa Marie too! So happy for them all!!!

Austin is a massive talent, he became Elvis, such a brilliant, passionate and magnetic delivery. He is so sweet, shy and gentle, and wise beyond his years.

AUSTIN HAS ACQUIRED SUCH A SEXY VOICE! THANK YOU ELVIS AND BAZ!

I think when it comes to Elvis, there is always the "How Dare You Factor". Meaning, anybody who even comes near to portraying him is accused of wanting to be him. Elvis has a Jesus-like status, especially, in the Elvis fan community, with a sign "DON`T TOUCH OR ELSE!". That`s probably the reason why there are almost no people out there whose mothers dared christen them "Jesus" or "Elvis". That`s why people`s expectations are unrealistically high and utopian. The family knew Elvis as a person, and they know that nobody can BE the same person, but they also know a good portrayal of him when they see it. I am a lifelong Elvis fan and I can say: "Yes, Austin, You are enough and so much more!". You can`t please everyone and that`s because most people are too shallow to understand the complexity of a project like this role and the movie in general.

What a great talent this guy omg my husband took me and my mom to see the movie and wow I was happy sad everything 💯❤️🔥love it he put his heart and soul in to this Elvis would be proud 🤩

Rocket man, Tick Tick Boom! and Elvis are 3 of my fav musical films in the past couple years or 3 lol 💚

As a Finn and knowing he is 1/8 Finnish, I like to think part of his work ethic comes from his Finnish heritage! :) We work hard!

Austin and Olivia are my Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin from 2022! Some will understand.

I hope that Austin at least called Denzel Washington for the reference call to the director.

Si Austin en la película me enamoro ahora con esto estoy literalmente haci😍🤤(ajaj 😂)

I do have mild deficit’s, amid my head trauma (brain injury), I have mild cognitive deficit’s, mild inattention, and mild memory loss. In addition, I also have ADD. I don’t think it is ADHD. And I don’t think I am the only one, in our family. 😌. My brain did not get damaged. The hit, only got my brain swollen, not damaged. It has been back to normal. Since I was no longer in a Coma. I was in a coma, for a week and a half.

❤

Como e quando se conhecemos como uma fã que nem na mídia está ainda conhece uma pessoa que está na fama

Àutin & Olivia,,,,,,,

ayo, if she interrupts mine again bro....

Olivia a baddie

I need Austin same please

YOU ARE ENOUGH! 😏😊

1:20 Denzel

Denzel what is your honest opinion about Tom and Baz's personal character

Talvez essa seja meu ponto de vista e qual é seu ponto de vista sobre mim junto a você?

Não estou muito sabendo se estou com pouco de tempo para um austin ou um jake porque nessa vida é só eu mesma é um pouco individual mas você é ele me faz senti um tanto formidavel mas não chego a ser uma garota que a mídia quer está procurando

I am a Hudge FAN of Austins and I feel that he is the Greatest Actor that ever came about in Hollywood and he ,Austin is a very Sweet and Kind Person and in My Heart He can never do no Wrong ❤️❤️ ,Judy a # 1 Fan Forever and Long as I Live ❤️

Você tem está com tempo para uma Débora ou só tempo para as pessoas que fica meio todo dia com voce

Asmr

Sorry, didn't care for Olivia in this role.

Hope you never interview Olivia again. Can't stand her. She has to always interrupt Austin and put her two cents in. Her part was not even that big in this movie. Don't want to hear her again!!!!

Priscilla just left Elvis when he was having a difficult time. What a selfish woman! He'd have been alive right now like she is, if she'd have supported him when he needed. Everybody around Elvis just exploited him. Hate her presence.

This guy really doesn't look like Elvis - may be he could pass as an impersonator - never play Elvis in a movie - too much ado for nothing here Baz Luhrman should have played col Tom Parker - would have been a great choice!!!!!
