Did Austin Butler bottom for the role of Elvis?

Well Priscilla and Lisa Marie said he captured Elvis perfectly

Baz Luhrmann is heterosexual surprisingly.

I guess I'm going to have to watch this movie again. I thought it was an ok movie, and AB was good, but it wasn't THAT impressive to me and I do like Elvis. Tom Banks being in it, didn't do anything to make me like it more either. He was just "there".

R2 he is one stop away from "dating" taylor swift. He is currently "dating" Cindy Crawford daughter who is rumored to be a lesbian. He is a bussy boy.

Oh God, please keep him away from that trampy Swift woman. He can do better.

Elvis wire eyeliner and big pink suits, OP. Didja know that? He was a Twink to anyone with eyes

Hasn’t he just won an award ?

In interviews, Austin seems like a really nice guy.

R8

well, one can be a bottom AND a nice guy.

Was he once a butler?

R9 Only if he douches well

Why yes, r10 he buttled in Austin, Tx. That’s how he chose his stage name.

Couldn't watch more than a half hour of this picture.

There was nothing Elvis-like about Buter.

What OP said about him being twinky crossed my mind as well.

He seemed as if he were portraying a guy from the 1980s rather than someone from the '50s.

I will say that watching the movie, I kept thing Butler would make a great Adam Ant.

If he wins the oscar… what a joke. The academy is so whote trash.

He will win an Oscar. Twink or twunk, win he will!!!

Eat your heart out, homos.

You old queens are so tiresome with these claims that any lanky young white guy with softer facial features must be a bottom.

While the truth is frequently the opposite, buff guys with harsher features turn out to be gay while skinny non masc guys go after pussy.

You probably said the same about Jagger back in 60s, and look at him now, father of 8 kids who had more than1000 women in his life.

R3 Can we make “Tom Banks” a thing?

R16, didn’t he have a relationship with Bowie though?

He's ugly.

Lollipop Head with a Stick Body.

Butterface, too.

Austin is not attractive at all.

I like his barbie nose

I thought Baz was a bottom.

Who wouldn't love to top him?

The tide is turning. He lost the SAG award to Brendan Frasier.

Colin deserves to win. Excellent actor. It’s his time.

I don't know how he got the Elvis role, but he was interviewed by video link for Australian TV tonight and he was using such an intrusive filter you couldn't even see the separation lines between his teeth. What's THAT about?

For the OP who pretends to remember anything about Elvis: First of all, the movie was meticulously researched. If Austin wore eye makeup, Elvis wore eye makeup. It Austin wore lace shirts, Elvis wore lace shirts. If Austin fussed with his hair (car mirror scene), Elvis fussed with his hair.

Become enlightened, OP:

R2, No, Baz is not.

Here, R25. Lick his teeth.

What's with the Yoda ears in the Shannara clip?

He does have a pretty mouth.

I think he's straight.

Colin should win.

R29, His character was half-elf.

*tap tap* Is this Google on?

R30, No BAFTA, no SAG. Fuhgeddaboutit.

Real name is Buttler - draw your own conclusions.

Real name is Colon--draw your own conclusions.

I'd like to see his bottom........... bare.

R35: His ass is flat as a pancake.

R36 It wouldn't be with a cock up his arse.

Totally agree with OP. Butler is a skinny twink. Though he sometimes sounded vaguely like Presley, he looked nothing like him. I’m no Presley fan, but Elvis had a strong, sensual, distinctive face. Butler’s little features are non-descript.

I like his large skull. Better than rodent-skull like from the other actor. It's manlier.

[quote][R35]: His ass is flat as a pancake.

Doesn't bother me.

He got a hunka hunka burnin' love.

("Ohhhhhh.)

R38, Appearance, I won't argue much. Though in profile in the movie, Austin is a dead-ringer. Watch the scene with Priscilla in the bedroom again (if, indeed, you watched it once before). Also, when he enters as Movie Elvis in blue and white, he looks identical. But much more than facially, Austin had EP's height, carriage, walk, shoulder shrug, crinkled nose in laughter, gaze (especially in the '68 Special performance), and, according to Cilla, Elvis's "rage" uncannily perfect.

But as to your opinion that Austin "sometimes sounded vaguely like Elvis," I must take issue, because you're just flat out wrong. Straight-up comparisons of both men with "That's All-Time Right (Mama)," "Trouble," "Let's Play House," and "Hound Dog" support my position. Well, actually prove it.

This is Austin not even particularly trying, as it's just a camera test.

R42 = Austin Butler

This is Elvis's very first performance of "That's All Right " Now, it isn't the version Austin sings, but I'm leaving it here because of the DIALOGUE. . In the movie's "Louisiana Hayride" scene, Austin says Elvis's same words, and sounds 100% the same. 100%.

Most like Austin's rendition:

Well, r43, you just sound silly. The music is the music; the songs aren't mere opinions. Unless one is deliberately being obtuse.

R43 = Helen Keller.

I tried and failed 2x to finish this movie. I had no idea Elvis was so boring.

Baz is so over-rated as a director, the same maniacal crap in every movie. Had NO idea how to film Gatsby and added that ridiculous frame.

Why is he thin? I thought Elvis was a person of size at the end and died on the toilet?

Poor R50 is unfamiliar with movies. For example, he thinks Brendan Fraser weighed 600 pounds for real! And that Brendan Gleeson really chopped off his fingers!
