An Oscar is not even enough for his amazing job in this movie, so far the best biopic I've seen
YES🔥🔥🔥
TOTALLY 💯 AGREE!!! I've seen a lot and worked on several films and Austin Butler is by far the best person to become such an monumental icon!!!!
And yes, an Oscar is not enough for him, but he soo deserves it!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I agree with you 🤗
A million percent agree.
Indubitably ❤
Elvis entered his soul
Brave young man! Bravo, you achieved something extraordinary, and I believe Elvis is smiling down on you! Hard work, sacrifices and God's favor in my opinion. Get some well deserved rest!
Lovely comment
Amen!
@@paulagriffithpaulag2 I agree 👍💯 that he has God"s favor❣️🌟🙏
Amen
Why the encouragement of
Helliwierd mk ultra mind control of these mediocre sellout actors?
What a beautiful young man. I bet his mom would be soooo incredibly proud. He has such charisma; I think we have not seen the last of Austin. What a gift he has given the world with “Elvis” through Austin’s gifts. Lots of hard work, study, inspiration and heart - pure magic. Congratulations! Many blessings.
Very well said
Amen loved what I said🌟
What u said 🤣
I wonder if Austin feels regret and sadness that his mom is not here to see him in this role.
I'm positive Austin Butler's mom has given him signs she is💖💫I lost my son 6 yrs ago he was 34 ..and I have received signs when I need them🎊‼️💖🙏Austin is a spiritual young man and I'm sure he has 🌟💫💖🙏
I feel the real Elvis would have approved of this young man. Seen the movie twice, can't get enough of it really! :)
Me too! You have to see the movie at least twice! It's so good!
@@joannemurdock7899 PS - I have now seen it four times, and I'm going again to a special outdoor screening! ☺
Austin Butler has that old Hollywood vibe. What a class man vibrating an intelligence, manners, charm and both outside and inner beauty. Tremendously talented guy. I strongly hope he wins Oscar for Elvis' role.
Agree with all!!!
If playing Elvis felt like climbing Mount Everest to you Austin. You reached the top bro! Lifelong Elvis fans like myself are blown away by the performance. GIVE HIM THE OSCAR NOW! 👑
Saw the movie 4 times. There is only one word for Austin. OSCAR!
Bless Austin heart!! He lost his mother too!! 😢
Austin was PHENOMENAL in the movie. He nailed it!!
Hey! I said EXACTLY the SAME THING on another video! LOL, cause it's TRUE! LOL
What a beautiful human being Austin Butler is, inside and out!!!
You are so right.
Sure seems so.
It’s like Austin Butler was born to play Elvis roll. Extraordinary!!!!!!
God please give the Film a Oscar.
And, an Oscar to Austin Butler for his extraordinary portrayal of Elvis.
Give Austin an Oscar
Give Austin an Oscar.....not the film...
Austin and this film are way above and beyond an Oscar
Austin BECAME ELVIS! Still cant believe what I've experienced watching Austin bring Elvis back to us. There is NO ONE who can compare to the extrordinarily phenomenal portrayel of Elvis. He ABSOLUTELY deserved the Oscar I cannot get enough of this portrayel. I would see it every day if I could. SURREAL!!!
Austin truly became Elvis and as a fan I want to Thank him for the dedication he put into potraying the greatest entertainer to ever grace a stage ! ! ! He deserves an Oscar.......I wish him all the success...and he now has a new fan ! !
All my admiration goes to Austin for all the hard work, love and soul he put into his art. Together with the whole team you achieved greatness. You honoured the life of the King
Magnificent! You nailed it!
Ui is the UI
This is the motherlode of acting performances. There are moments when he looks as if he lost himself in the music and the moves and the voice and the mannerisms. Most stupefying for me is the recreation of the 68 comeback special. I have watched the movie 4 times already simply for that one sequence. Takes my breath every single time. Brave, and thank you.
I know, it's quite uncanny. It makes me want to see the real performance.
So true. This movie has such an impact . Brilliant
He has done a really great job on this movie. And I love listen to him talk now.
Even his voice changed into Elvis’ voice
Well I think you did a fantastic job playing Elvis and deserve an Oscar. Awesome performance.
Austin Butler is really amazing as Elvis !! The most amazing movie ever !! He needs to get an Oscar for this performance !! Extraordinary!!
You can tell how much time and effort he put into embodying this role because his voice is is still "Elvis" sounding even after finishing the film. I really hope he's nominated for an Oscar for this performance.
At this time the movie had been wrapped up for many months. I'm wondering if some of the raspiness is from so many intern.
Poor lad. 🫂🥺💔 Uncertain if anybody notices but he seems to be having a hard time explaining things due to exhaustion (he somewhat pauses & jetlags) and I've gotten a hunch, generally speaking on opinion, his readjustment to his own life also had been sorta hectic despite being with loved ones. 😅 Famous people don't ever really catch a true break. I'm sure he knew of this before signing up for acting including whatever else he may partake in, but I hope his beautiful spirit doesn't wither away like a flower. 🥰 His soul deserves an reward for digging deep into another person's humanity. Trophies won't last long but the energy felt within him during his role will last forever. 💁🏼♀️💛 That's the biggest achievement anybody can receive! 🥳 PROUD OF YOU AUSTIN & I'm certain many others are as well. 💛 Hard work pays off!!
Austin, you have made my life very happy 😁😊 🎶🎵, just like Elvis did!!! God Bless You, sweetheart 💋 🙏😇🐑🕊️❤️ 🧸🦉 👑
Please, he deserves an Oscar
Austin has such respect for Elvis and his family, that it helped him get that much closer to the role. Fantastic ♥️
A New STAR is born! I'm in love....
He will get an oscars for this role without a doubt!
Thank you Austin for your dedication and the sacrifices you made to honor Elvis. Please take care of yourself....🌻⚡
You were amazing !! I am hoping you get an Oscar
Elvis Presley has been my favorite artist since I was a baby, since I was in kindergarten. Sadly I could never see him live but I watched the preview of this movie in cinema and it felt like I saw Elvis alive.
It was such a great movie
Almost sounds like he felt like a prison at times. 3 years without seeing your family. Wow. He was so dedicated to this movie.
@Kazuko Hara darling, apparently they didn’t teach you about metaphors in that prison either. They mean that Austin’s dedication really sucked him into the character almost feeling like he’s lost who he really was before. As in getting an existential crisis.
Well yeah, because when the started shooting COVID hit so the whole world went to lock down. And Australia had a super strict lock down for the longest time. But it must have been really hard to basically lose his reality for the sake of the role.
@@egzi9160 Australia was the worst.
@Kazuko Hara Mansplain? Love, im a woman
He absolutely deserves the Oscar!!! He deserves all the praises and awards.
GOD BLESS YOU AUSTIN STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF .
I am glad to hear that he took time after the Elvis movie!!! to see who he was again and visit family and friends. Smart young man
When I was watching this movie the whole time my only taught was how they find so incredible actor to bring us Elvis once again.Austin Butler was absolutely amazing !
Yes!!! BEST. MOVIE. EVER.Movie of the Millennium!!! 👑 🎵 🎶 🎸 🧸
It was just meant to be.
What a brilliant performance!!
Thank you Austin for dedicating
so much of yourself to portraying
Elvis humanity. You found common ground and bonded with him...
so important.
That will probably be the last elvis film we'll see, just because it was that good ! Nothing will compare now, so detailed and well made not to mention butler and hanks performances. Bravo👏 can't wait to see what butler does next.
you just feel like you want him to be blessed you know, and to be greatly recognized you know, he really worked, expressed and perform profoundly, yooooh
👏Bravo Austin, stunningly handsome, humble, painfully shy, amazing performance. May you have a long productive career
This was a life changing role!
You deserve an Oscar for Your hard work #AustinButler
***********
AUSTIN AND ELVIS BOTH THEIR MUMS PASSED WHEN THEY WERE 23 YEARS OLD! 💕💕🙏🙏💙💙🙏🙏
Austin Butler deserves so many awards for this amazing performance! He was beyond incredible! 👏👏👏
Wow, that's some hard work. An admiring process. Very well done! Psychologically very hard, I can't even imagine...
Austin has to win the Oscar......best performance of Elvis ever.
The transition back to oneself, must be difficult.
This is my favorite movie!! I have seen it three time and own it on digital. Austin did a fantastic job definitely Oscar worthy!!
This is the best biopic I have ever seen or experienced. Austin made Elvis the man the human being come alive. I have cried several times. So many tender moments where his personality comes out- his eyes are the window to his souls and Austin nailed
that. I have seen it 7 times and I will continue to watch it. It makes me happy and I enjoy the great acting and the music. Just a suburb movie and acting more than worthy of awards!! It lifts me up and brings me joy! I am sure Austin’s future will be one that too will amaze us!! Thank you Denzil Washington for recommending him!
Austin Butler is still young but he could express his views strongly yet beautifully...like a much older person. Just cannot get enough of this beautiful soul ..
After I saw it a second time, I felt sad when I couldn't see it, so I went back. Austin did beautiful work and I saw nothing but elvis onscreen. But seeing Austin in interviews with his light hair and as himself, made me realize what a great acting job he did. Austin is now on our radar, and he's got "it". But he always had it. Leo has it and Brad Pitt for sure. But Leo is the actor, Brad Pitt is a performer now. . LEO will always be working. I pray Austin keeps his sanity.
I am so impressed by this actor. Wow.
You truly did a wonderful job. There have been so many lousy movies and documentaries on Elvis Presley. Finally you and Baz made it right by allowing his true humanity to come forward. On my way home from my second viewing of the movie I thought that finally this man’s soul can RIP. I wish you the best in all future endeavors.
Austin Butler Amazing amazing actor I have never seen such a real emotional delivery that I managed to live that time for more than 02:30 minutes dancing singing acting with faces and mouths and visceral expressions a spectacle of acting Elvis Presley deserves this star that appeared in the cinema.
AUSTIN YOU WERE AND ARE BRILLIANT AS ELVIS!
What a great interviewer! Good job on the in-depth questions.
I said that it was wonderful having him back for a little while. It was horrible , devastating, loosing him, so young. He was our youth. .
Austin is just an amazing young man. He really works hard at what he needs to accomplish. He really crushed it as Elvis, just incredibly amazing! I feel so protective of him. I don't want anything negative coming towards him.
Lisa Marie said the exact same thing 😏
I do agree with everything u said. I luv him and want to protect him too. He is such an amazing young man. I pray he wins the academy award, he truly deserves it!!!
Don't worry, dear. Any negativity toward Austin would be JEALOUSY.It was the same way with Elvis. 👑 🎸 🎶 🎵
The amount of love, dedication and bravery employed by this young man is beyond impressive. The one and only Elvis deserved that dedication and im so grateful this wonderful actor gave that to him. Looking forward to the Oscar nod coming and grateful Austin and Baz have helped to further Elvis' legacy.
Wow....I am so impressed with this young man, Austin. They could not have made a better choice.
I get whats he's saying. When you're playing biographies, the spirit of that person enters your body and soul. Hard to shake off
A star in exchange for a dream. At least Elvis will never be forgotten, and Austin Butler gave it to us in the perfect way, no hands no less. If he opened a tour as a cover of Elvis Presley I would definitely go to at least one show. Baz Luhrmann was surgically wonderful, and gave Austin the chance to show his talent because he certainly knows how to play, and very well by the way.
And Austin Butler gave it to us in the perfect way, in the right measure.***
OSCAR PERFORMANCE
Great interview! Austin put his heart and soul into this movie and it showed!
Whatever he was paid for this movie it wasn’t enough and if this movie, Austin Butler, Tom Hanks and Baz are not nominated for an Oscar then there is truly something wrong with the Academy.
Phenomenal job he did indeed #OscarWorthy
i feel like this will forever be with austin, it’s not something that he just moves on from you know like elvis is a part of him
Please don’t lose Elvis from your soul
Dedication to being the best Elvis ever🙏💙
To the interviewer, he's an actor since 13!! . Actors have egos that allow them to accept challenges like this. Yes he's sweet and humble, but you get him on camera and he transforms. That's acting. He knew it was a star making role. Unchained Melody is just so Elvis. He filmed Masters of the Air for a year in London as Major Gale Cleven a pilot. The director said when Austin got to the set, he was still Elvis to a big extent.
You did a over the top job. It was great. Get some rest and have some fun you deserve it.
Great 👍 Job on the movie
What an absolutely incredible performance Austin portrayed as elvis it's just the best acting I have ever seen I am almost certain elvis is looking down and very happy with amazing young man who played him congratulations to austin for this epic role
Thanks! Thanks!Thanks! Awesome!
🎥🌹
This boy is AMAZING !!!
I read where Austin earned $700,000 for All his hard with in Elvis. However, I think that given the fact that he spent two years w/o contact with friends nor family, immersing his very being into Elvis the man and then having been hospitalized for a week after the final take, that salary should have been no less than $1.5mil. Austin Butler was beyond phenomenal in his portrayal of Elvis. A star ⭐️ was truly born in Austin Butler. Congratulations 🍾 Austin, man you flat nailed it 100% ! God bless you. ♥️💝
I saw a video where you were talking about finding yourself after Elvis.
You have been given a gift that few will ever experience or even understand...The opportunity to find your true self and to follow your true life purpose. Don't limit yourself and don't allow anyone else to limit you either. God has big plans for you.
After this movie, everyone will know the name Austin Butler.
I love this movie
BEST EVER!!! Austin u were phenomenal in da movie🔥🔥💖💖
the scene when elvis lost his mom felt so real and now i know why. brought tears to my eyes!
Impresive and thoughtful young man.
Literally AMAZING. I could listen to his voice all day
I can't wait to see elvis although Austin butler blew us all away with his performance he did a splendid job.
Austin Butler maravilhoso...estou apaixonada por vc....que gato, que atuação incrível no filme Elvis. O Oscar é seu com certeza.
What a great movie!
He was awesome. I bought the movie before I saw the movie, but than I have loved Elvis since I was 12 years old.
Come on Hollywood give an Oscar for best actor - AUSTIN BUTLER, OSCAR for supporting - Tom Hanks, OSCAR for Baz Luhrmann - Directing, don't be deaf, dumb, and blind this movie DESERVES IT.
I’m still waiting for that book to arrive on my front porch that we ordered
ghost elvis is probably watching this movie on repeat
Hope the academy honors him with the oscar- Austin truly deserves this!
you did great hoss great movie
He's rare.
Austin’s speaking voice….if you close your eyes and listen, he sounds a lot like Johnny Depp
Waitt I hear it nowww
I hear it too
He absolutely sounds like Johnny depp
INCREIBLE!!!!
GRACIAS!!!! AUSTIN!!!
He seems to be still speaking somewhat like Elvis!
Definitely ‼️😳
I noticed this also .
I hope he didn’t damage his vocal cords in any way. He put his soul into this part. Love him. Saw the movie five times. I’ll be watching the Oscar’s for the first time in 25 years.
@@marymedmonds1788 five times wow! Thanks for helping keep his memory alive. I took my daughter to see it, she now wants to go to Graceland!
@@speedracer2336 Austin brought Elvis BACK into my life. I love Elvis and Austin forever! It’s so cute that your daughter loves him, also. I love that. ❤️
When I was watching the movie,there were times when I really felt like I was seeing Elvis himself; in my opinion,I feel that the spirit of Elvis was in it, so the world knows, how they are abused by his representatives.
I think the guy who says "get a haircut, buttercup" is perfect. He seems so proud of his little rude statement to naive Elvis. Then the way he looks at his sate and says "sit down". You can feel that he's lost control of that girl. Who is that actor?
Remember dream true story high school name Elvis Presley and me near music room but hold back close me love you too handsome romance 😘🥰❤️😍
Lo amo
You give itself away
😍😍😍
They need to do another Jim Morrison movie! He could definitely do a great Jim
🙌🙌🙌🙌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
23 is also my number in a very real way
