Butler recalled the day he “went home in tears” after Baz Luhrmann had film executives make fun of him while singing to prepare for his role as Elvis.
Austin Butler revealed that “Elvis” director Baz Luhrmann and other film executives made him cry during their first trip to RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tenn.that Luhrmann brought all the executives “into the recording studio and he goes, ‘I want you all to sit facing Austin,’…and he told them to heckle me. So then they were making fun of me and stuff while I was singing.”
“When we were filming this moment, when Elvis first goes on stage and he’s getting heckled by the audience, I knew what that felt like,” he said, before adding “I went home in tears that night. I really did.”Getty Images “I was so nervous, and we were recording on actual equipment that Elvis recorded ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ on,” he told the magazine. “We got down there and it was not that at all. We were recording old school, where all the musicians—and these are the best musicians in the world; our guitar player had actually played guitar with Scotty Moore, who was Elvis’s guitar player—we were recording the entire song.
“He started filming while I [was] learning everything,” the actor said on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” “He put me through the wringer. I realize now he likes to be very spontaneous on set, so he wanted to see if I would lose my mind.”
