Austin Butler says he's finally getting rid of that 'Elvis' accent.
There's no denying that Austin Butler's performance in Elvis is nothing short of amazing, but one aspect of his work on the film has always been peculiar. After the production of the movie was completed, and throughout its promotion during the awards circuit, Butler seemed to keep the accent that made him sound like the King of Rock and Roll.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “I am getting rid of the accent, but I have probably damaged my vocal cords with all that singing,” Butler said. “One song took 40 takes.” The actor, who recently commented on his experience working on Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two, had previously mentioned that Elvis Presley would always be a part of him due to his work on the performance lasting for around three years. Just this past month, portraying Elvis earned Butler his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Elvis was Luhrmann's return to the big screen after releasing The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, nine years prior. The musical biopic flies through the most important moments in the King's life, from being inspired by church choirs in his childhood to the unhealthy workload that would lead to his premature death. Tom Hanks plays Colonel Tom Parker in the movie, Elvis' manager and the person who introduced him to the mainstream music industry.
