Austin Butler On How Auditioning In A Bathrobe Made Him A King 

High praise indeed!🌹

Your comment has pushed me over the edge to actually go and pay to see it on the big screen. I've been fairly worried about the actor not delivering.

@ Steve Cubis Go see it. Butler is phenomenal in it and does Elvis Presley justice.

Totally agree.

Couldn't agree more about Austin, but the movie definitely didn't do Elvis justice. They left too much out & added too much bs that never even happened/ is not even close to how it happened. They grabbed unimportant moments or made-up moments instead of working with the outstanding ones, like how sickly generous Elvis was, the reason why the colonel took 50% to himself was because Elvis' donations were making All of them bankrupt. Elvis, being born extremely poor, couldnt stand knowing there are poor people. He even bought a cadillac for an 80 year-old lady who was randomly window-shopping whilst he was checking out the newest model to add to his collection. Or his love for children, him signing the papers for 90% of his income from the Aloha from Hawaii concert going to children's hospitals and cancer centers. They never even mentioned that being the first ever via satellite concert in the world that was said to be impossible to make at first but Elvis kept pushing. Cilla wasn't closely as good to him as portrayed in the movie either. And so on and so forth. The movie could forever be argued but we will just accept it as it is. All in all, its great but I wish it'd have capture reality more.

What happened to his mom?

@@beller8501 she died of cancer when he was 23

@@naomiling2954 thankxs, like my mom, when i was 24.

The Unchained Melody cover he sang as an audition was actually after a nightmare (the nightmare he talks about) where his mother is dying again, that grief he used to sing for his mother and also later on he found out that his mother and Elvis's mother, they both died when both Elvis and Austin were 23 years old... That was the first thing that connected him with Elvis when he went to Graceland, according an interview between Austin and Jimmy Fallon... Greetings!

Funny, I just said that on here somewhere else, he reminds me of the rising star early days of Brad Pitt. He did a brilliant job as Elvis, I was absolutely transfixed and glued to the screen. If he’s that good now, he’ll be an Oscar winner somewhere in his career

I wonder if he’s trying to act like Brad, honestly. Is this his true voice and swagger?

@@natalieohlsson7777 He's been so much into Elvis for so long,which makes me think that his voice is still on the " Elvis mode" .. but it doesn't matter, he sounds soooo gooood 😍

Totally true!

I think maybe the next Johnny Depp! Austin reads, journals and seems kind of shy and humble!

Hello I heard the Elvis Presley's movie is out, have you seen it?

@@bryanclooney6102 This guy should have never played Elvis - he looks completely different and just because he worked so hard to impersonate Elvis - even Kaufmann looked more like Elvis than this guy does! Very very bad selection for the part- I could not even watch the movie to the end - tit was so BAD!!!!!!

@@googlefan8990 I don’t think he looks like elvis at all but he was amazing at the voice and the acting in my opinion it was an Oscar winning performance

​@@googlefan8990

Looks nothing like Elvis. Not even close

They do not resemble each other at all

Bro the movie is not even out yet… Relax

@@MultiMrVideoMan what does the movie has to do with resemblance ???? The movie might be great . He just don’t look like him . Nothing to relax about bro

@@RM-rt3kb I’m telling him to relax because he’s talking as if he saw the movie , his comment was “he captured his essence and humanity” how can you say that when the movie isn’t even out yet… so I told him to relax and I will tell you the same

Oh please! It looks like you are 12 years old.

I also saw Rami Malek do same for Freddie ♥️ he won an Oscar for capturing Freddie’s soul❤️

@@jenniferwells9032 not the case with Austin Butler who is a joke! WORST ACTOR OF THE GALAXY!!!

@@jenniferwells9032 Oscars are cheap nowadays, you can get them in a Doritos.

Very handsome and charming like Elvis was. I could have watched another 3 hours! Austin is amazing! His mother would be very proud. I feel very sorry for him to have lost his mother so young.

@@janzumbrunnen2427 she was such a support system for him. She home schooled him so he could take acting jobs and acting classes. Then drove him to LA for the jobs. He really misses her.

I completely agree

👌

Okay makes me feel better cuz I want to go back and watch!!!

I noticed in interview on yt, Austin has the high cheekbones elvis had when he smiled. This helps Austin look like elvis in makeup. Also elvis was the first recording star to use eye makeup on stage. He felt it was necessary. So they used it on Austin. Elvis had blue eyes as well.. Later they used prosthetics on Austin's face to fill him out after 1970 rather having him gain weight. What Baz did was so effective but Austins personality and acting ability was phenomenal. He watched all the films and he did what elvis did in concert. Thats why Priscilla could not tell at times whether she was seeing elvis or Austin performing because they included actual elvis video a lot.

He never really wanted to do those movies, Parker is the one that pushed for those to be made. Elvis was trapped. His true love was Gospel music.

Actually, if it had not been for pioneering Black rhythm and blues artists, there would have been no Elvis.

I dunno he is kinds weird... he is obviously good looking but at the same time not... i dunno how to explain it....

I sure would love to see that audition tape, as well.

I so deeply agree. Just waking up and singing Unchainedy Melody. As if to his mom had to be so emotional and real M

I loved Austin as Elvis ♥️ but I must be missing something here? To me, he didn’t quite capture Elvis? But I have to say Rami Malek DID capture Freddie’s soul 🥰♥️♥️

I heard the movie has been out, have you seen it?

@@bryanclooney6102 yes I saw the first screening in my area. I loved the movie. Austin was brilliant, he really took on Elvis 's persona.

So where are you from Karina
