'Although his name wasn't called, Austin is no less a winner,' Bassett wrote of Butler as part of the Time 100 Most Influential People of 2023 collection. (via toofab)
"The first time I met Austin Butler, we were both starting to find our grooves in what promised to be a busy awards season," Bassett wrote."We connected in a fleeting moment, one of many when we would share a hug and warm words. Despite all that swirled around him, Austin opened his heart to new friends. I was fortunate to be one of them."
She went on to share that she"watched watched 'Elvis' with a deep appreciation for all the work I knew Austin put into his performance." "A lot goes into an actor's finding their way into an icon, not pretending to be them but offering a perspective on the artist as we perform slices of their story," Bassett added."You walk away from that set forever changed. Your hope is that when people see the film, they don't see you -- they see an artist’s journey through a different lens. Austin accomplished this with a brilliantly nuanced performance.
Some of the other actors included on the list are Michael B. Jordan, Drew Barrymore, Pedro Pascal, Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Coolidge, Ke Huy Quan and more.
