Why the fuck does Austin Butler still talk like this

That's his movie star voice, OP. Don't play dumb. If you don't like it, lump it.

Sounds normal.

It’s not his voice

duh.

[quote]Is he on the spectrum? He does that thing where they hug themselves when they get overstimulated.

That is standard body language for "I'm protecting myself because I feel out of my comfort zone". Which any sensible person would feel doing interviews early in a career. It's a normal reaction to a not normal situation.

The voice thing, on the other hand, is weird.

Austin, say “Shannara” three times fast.

Don't know, BUT I have the hardest time deciding if he's hot or not.

Pretty sure my voice got deeper from age 21 to age 33, too.

Let's ask Lucille Ball.

I think he is on the spectrum too. High functioning obviously. Whatever it is, it works. The accent suits him perfectly. He’s highly gorgeous too.

I don’t see the problem.

he has the same "accent" in both the young and older videos, his voice is just deeper in the newer one.

He’s quite handsome, & sounds perfectly fine.

Pre-Elvis.

He's ***arded.

R15 - he has a slightly in-bred look to him. Never found him appealing at all. He's not handsome.

He is a hillbilly 8 though, I will give him that.

R16 He’s a hillbilly 100, regular guy 8 you hating ass cunt.

He grew up in Anaheim, California. But he does look like a mountain hollow dude in flyoverstan.

He somehow reminds me of Caleb Burton (influencer). They both remind me of kids my cousin would hang out with in Southern New Hampshire who lived in double-wides by a muddy lake. Not handsome, but hot and seemingly nice in a backwoods stoner kind of way.

R17 - I am indeed a hater of this guy - and he's a regular guy 6 or 7 at best.

Certain guys who are extremely cute are not well loved on DL, by most of the regular posters, which makes me wonder why. Is it regional, because so much of DL is from NYC, and certain tastes prevail there? There are DL "faves" I don't find attractive, and DL pariahs I think are gorgeous.

Who on DL would find him attractive?

I would.

And why is he a "hillbilly"...? He's from Anaheim.

R5 he does it all the time though

Here he is doing it while he’s dancing at a concert

And in a video with Zoë Kravitz

Who cares. He’s so fucking hot.

[quote] He’s so fucking hot.

Agreed.

There's definitely an amount of affectation there, but that's true for most actors. I suppose they're always performing to some degree when they're on camera, even when doing an interview.

He’s sexy

He needs a better makeup artist. His skin is a weird colour in that clip.

Even AI gives him a hillbilly look.

More like Butt-ler. Amirite?
