Ahead of the Oscars, revisit AustinButler's Best Performances Issue cover story where he talks about the moment he truly connected with Elvis.
Austin Butler had been a consistent presence on tween and teen-oriented television since his own days as a teenager, but it wasn’t until he was cast in a 2018 Broadway production ofthat adults started taking notice of his talent. “Although there are many performers…there is only one actor, and his name is Austin Butler,” wrote Hilton Als in his review in. Shortly after, Butler appeared in films for Quentin Tarantino and Jim Jarmusch.
I had learned something about Elvis, which is that his mother passed away when he was 23. That’s how old I was when my mom passed away. I ended up having this nightmare that my mother was alive, but then she passed away again. I woke up with all this emotion and I thought, Elvis would put this in a song. I sat down at the piano and imagined singing to my mom. I was still in my bathrobe and set up the camera and started playing. That’s the tape I sent.
My dad got to be there. He’d never been out of the country. He had his tuxedo on and was on the Cannes red carpet. That was very special.Did you keep any of the Elvis wardrobe? I kept one of the leather jumpsuits. He had times when he’d bust the seat of the pants. And that did happen to me a couple of times. But when you wear that jumpsuit, and you get the fabric right, you feel like a superhero.. I watched that a lot as a kid. I feel like that’s the first time I remember having a crush.Hair for portfolio by Anthony Turner at Streeters; makeup for portfolio by Lucia Pica for Byredo at Art Partner.
