The moment when he was experiencing stuff that he didn’t get to experience in front of a camera. I’m running on a few hours of sleep right now, but this was kind of me for two years…You just feel the weight of it every day and you just want to do him justice and you want to do his family justice.” One interesting story behind the scenes of Elvis is that Austin Butler auditioned for the role while wearing a bathrobe. “So my hair was a mess and I sat down at the piano and there was something that was pivotal in that moment for me as far as how I would want to approach it because what fascinated me was all the moments that we didn’t see of Elvis. The moment when he just woke up. Austin Butler, who is playing Elvis in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming biopic had a unique audition for the role when he did it while wearing a bathrobe. Playing Elvis Presley is not a role that many actors would be able to pull off.

On the cusp of Hollywood's most anticipate release for Baz Luhrmann's "ELVIS", Austin Butler and Olivia DeJonge sit down with GRAZIA to reflect on what may ...

Knowing how much respect Luhrmann and Butler had for the King of Rock however, it was never a question. This was in a time of no social media,” she adds. I had a lot of care and a lot of empathy for her. I felt a little bit of pressure I suppose, and knew what it was and I knew what it meant, and it got me the job,” she recalls. He really threw himself into that, into the flames with no fear and to watch somebody go out on a limb like that and really pull it off was such a masterclass in commitment to the role and being really brave. It wasn’t until he discovered the context surrounding his childhood – a poor child growing up in a largely Black neighbourhood in Memphis, Tennessee – and the singer’s relationship to his mother that Butler was enthralled by the story.

Long before Austin Butler portrayed Graceland's music monarch in director Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic, the actor graced the small screen.

During his " In Conversation" appearance, Butler quipped that his parents occasionally forced him to stop playing and commanded him to spend time with other kids as a form of punishment. "I got together with some of the other cast and some of the producers and we rented a big house out on this island that had its own private beach, so we got to get up in the morning with the sunrise and ride kayaks out into the water. "Honestly, the boots I'm wearing now were in the film," Butler told Esquire. "I wore them to the audition." Butler was so serious about making this career switch that he purchased a pricey camera, but then his agent contacted him about an opportunity to fulfill one of his dreams: appearing on Broadway. ... I basically went straight from the show to the airport to Quentin's office, worked all day from about 10 a.m. until 9 p.m., and he gave me the job that day," Butler told Variety in 2019. "But I donated a lot of money to the park to say, 'Sorry for the drama it's caused you guys,'" she said. "You get to meet great people, you can express yourself in so many ways, you get paid to play like when you were a kid in dress up clothes, and one of the best things is that you get to travel to amazing places!" Thanks to the paparazzi's interest in his relationship with Hudgens, we also know that Butler owned a black Audi A7 in 2019. Butler was so dedicated to his craft that he was willing to put in extra work for free when his friend, Ashley Tisdale — with whom he had previously worked on 2009's "Aliens in the Attic" — asked him to co-star in her 2011 "High School Musical" spinoff movie, "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure." His character was an aspiring filmmaker, and Butler actually filmed some behind-the-scenes footage. Hudgens' bop to the top income bracket helped her and Butler afford a swanky Los Angeles pad when they decided to purchase a home together in 2018, and according to Dirt, its price was close to $5 million — $1 million more than Butler's total net worth, at the time of this writing. "I printed out 'Pulp Fiction,' and I read it to my mom as we would drive to auditions," he told Access Hollywood in 2019. However, the talent agency wasn't a total scam; it did help Butler get work as an extra, which would have paid from $100 to $200 a day in 2021, according to Backstage. Just keep in mind that Butler's earning potential was likely different, as his career started circa 2005.

“At the core of it all, I'm just grateful,” Butler told POPSUGAR Australia. “I'm so happy. We worked so hard on this movie and it was such a huge ...

If they think the movie’s going to be better with someone else then I don’t want to do it because I don’t want to be the not-as-good version.” I feel like if a director feels like I’m not the best person for the role then it’s better for them and it’s better for me. For that reason, there was something incredibly sacred surrounding him so I thought I should try to get the part,” according to Rolling Stone.

Luhrmann passed on Styles for Elvis Presley in the musical biopic "Elvis" because "he's already an icon."

“He’s such a great spirit and I have nothing but great things to say about Harry Styles.” He just happened like two years non-stop living and breathing as Elvis. He’s now going through a sort of, it’s like, de-programming thing because he’s been a long time since he’s known who he was.” “Harry is a really talented actor.

The director shared that the decision had nothing to do with Harry Styles' acting ability.

He added, "Being able to trust your director is a gift. I think you have to trust a lot." So you know, I think Harry and I came to a place genuinely…I mean he was just desperate to put the suit on and explore, he's such a great spirit.
