Austin Butler chats with ET's Nischelle Turner backstage at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, airing on NBC. The 'Elvis' actor opens up about how Denzel Washington helped him nab the role of Elvis Presley in the film.
What a humble, authentic guy, don't change AUSTIN, next comes the Oscar, you deserve EVERY AWARD out there. That film was mind blowing. Congratulations again...Australia Best Actor, People Choice Best Actor, Palm Springs Festival Best Actor, Golden Globes Best Actor, with MORE to come! I'm over the moon for you!
Denzel Washington is the absolute GOAT. He inspired and continues to inspire an entire generation of great actors like the late Chadwick Boseman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Austin Butler and many more!
It’s like destiny that he had an opportunity to work and Denzel was on board! Then everything flourished like a flower. Denzel is definitely one of the greatest mentors you can have as an actor eye to eye also just life in general! If y’all haven’t seen any of Denzel’s speeches or advices/words of wisdom, you should!
Congratulations Austin, so proud of him. I've been a fan of his ever since he appeared in the carrie diaries. What an amazing talented young man with an incredible future ahead of him.
@@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat it's funny how y'all think Brendan is a great actor because he played a sad fat dude 💀 Austin sang, danced, moved and performed like Elvis but no y'all only care about him paying his "dues"
Congratulations Austin, you earned it. I love Elvis and he’d be proud of you! Wonderful performance, something you should be very proud of, we fans are. Thank-you!
He knows how to speak while humbled without ridiculous word adage which is more than I can say for many other young actors/actresses I’ve seen during these interviews! 😂
OMG I am screaming in my living room!!!! CONGRATULATIONS AUSTIN!!!!! You were absolutely 💯 INCREDIBLE!!!! I'm screaming in joy w tears in my eyes!! Denzel is an incredible actor. Been a fan since his St Elsewhere days. BUT Denzel is NOT the KING. Elvis is lol. So happy & excited for you!!! The other night at bedtime, my 2yr old granddaughter told her mommy, I'm watching Elvis w Dada, lol. Next generation!!
He is so cute that he is in still in the positive shock of him being the actual winner. Absolutely loved his teary speech that made even Baz and Lisa Marie cry. A true man with integrity never forgets his supporting people. Congratulations, Austin! May you win the Oscar too!
Austin has worked with some of the greats in the entertainment industry. It is wonderful that he acknowledges all those who helped him along the way. Austin is a humble man who will go far.
Hear me out, It’s great when a White actor recognizes that a Black legend influenced them. Not that Denzel needs ANY validation, but we know that Black actors truly influence and don’t get the recognition. I appreciate him for speaking up a man that deserves so much, from accolades to just thanks. Bravo.
It's important to give credit where credit is due. I remember Denzel giving a shout-out to Sidney Poitier during his Oscars speech (Jamie Foxx did the same). If it wasn't for those who paved the way, so many of us wouldn't be here today.
Honestly what a guy.. Take note: don't expect certain things to happen to you because you want them to, and don't begin to- or stop taking things for granted in your life. It's a disease.. Bravo sir keep it up it's inspiring 👏👌*tips hat*
He is so dear!! I loved seeing Austin win, and I was glad for Steven Spielberg (even though I wanted Baz to get the award). I’m reminded once again what I hate about the Golden Globes. By that last hour a large percentage of the crowd is drunk. The audience makes no attempt to shut up. Winners ramble and stumble over words. Everyone laughing at Kevin Costner have to remain in his house in Santa Barbara for safety was appalling. The girl, Regina Somebody, started THAT ball rolling.
Nah y'all act like Brendon isn't getting nominations out of pity 💀 looking back when he was Austin's age all he did was one dimensional characters and now suddenly he's the best actor ever? If anyone is going to get the Oscar if not Austin then is Colin Farrell
