- Austin Butler ('Elvis') on emotional 'Unchained Melody' audition dedicated to his mom: 'I let myself cry' and 'play the music.' He gets technical while describing how he studied "the architecture" of Elvis Presley's mouth and how it shaped the way sounds came out. Gold Derby editor Denton Davidson hosts this webchat.

He BECAME ELVIS, not another impersonator. ❤ Austin was the BEST ever!
I'm so proud of you Austin. I'm 82, and I miss Elvis Presley. You brought him back alive for awhile with your amazing talent. Singing acting, all of it. Be proud of yourself. Big Hugs.❤️🙏🌹
Loved the movie and everyone was crying by the end of the movie at our movie theater!! 😪💔🙏💞💕💙♥️⭐️
His voice is quite similar to Johnny Depp! Thia man is so much more that just a pretty face!! He has such depth, and warmth!!
The MAN? Take an anatomy class.
Wow...he does sound like Depp!
@@bettycunicelli8552 DEPP=FEMALE. Look at the curved spine, small skull & wide hips & gait. Ole amber is a eunuch.. Yes, its very ugly & strange, but true. Most ALL HollyWEIRD are flipped & so are the ROYALS if you have eyes to see. HEIGHT means NOTHING. Look up Queen Charlie in her polo pants! Megan & Kate=hipless eunuchs with long arms as side effect.
100%
😊💕
I like this young man. He’s real.
My dear Austin, you did not fail anybody. Your performance as Elvis was utterly astounding. The care and love you gave to this film shows in this movie.
Austin, you were Stellar playing Elvis! You also should be winning an Oscar! ❤️
Austin you'd better make a big space on your mantelpiece, ready for that Oscar ❤️
Ccct la de Wee llkwk
Hard working young man!! And he lost his mother too like Elvis. Now this handsome young man has depth and feelings
Such a talented actor. Love the Elvis movie.
I’ll always dismiss the bad choices they have had to play ELVIS I.e. Martin Shaw, Kerr Russel, David Keith and so on? But Austin, you Believed in the Man and his Style not just a pay packet!!!! I just wish the KING was here? 👌👑🇬🇧🇺🇸
He did an amazing job. I really hope he wins an Oscar he deserves it
I like this dude, he reminds me of Brad, and he talks like Johnny Depp does as well. He will do very well, and so he should.
Austin is so genuine. Listening to him is calming.
Genuine? He is a SHE.
Austin is such a good person. I like to see all his interviews because he's so interesting. He gives you details of the Elvis movie & why he acted the way he did in the movie.
You don't hear that from other actors. Austin is the best & he gave us the best in his performance. I hope & pray 🙏 he wins the Oscar. I also want to see him in more leading rolls!
@@patriciagentile3201 yes that’s true 👌
Austin Butler practiced two years to get the Elvis voice just right. It worked. He did.
Thank you Austin for giving us the voice we've missed for 45 years. We love Elvis. ❤
Congratulations Austin Butler! You made the world love Elvis even more but you also woke the world up to who you truly are too. A sweet, humble, handsome, beautiful soul.
Thanks everyone for the likes! So much appreciated 💓. It's the most I've ever gotten. You're to kind. God bless you all.🤗
Austin resurfaced Elvis so beautifully in his portrayal of our beloved Elvis. He deserves all the recognition he gets for his fantastic performance. We have come to love Austin so much!❤❤❤❤❤
I hope he wins EVERY single award!!! He soooooo deserves it
Agree💯
I agree 100%
I HOPE NOT!!!!!!! MEDIOCRE ACTING - FAKE AND PHONY!!!!
@@googlefan8990 hate much? Angry? Jealous? Lordy. You are in the minority. Bye bye. I don't need hate in my life
@@melissastruxness512 Brainwashed, delusional and stupid!
Austin is such a sweet ♥ heart
Heard this story on several interviews and then it hit me that in a way his mom blessed him to get this role.
He was awesome in the movie Elvis !
"ELVIS" was fabulous and Austin Butler was the best Elvis I have ever seen! Thank you, because I LOVE EP!!
I just realized, Austin Butler and Elvis both lost their mother very young. I can see where he relates to Elvis more. He was also shy about singing and performing at first too. I think he is very nice, think he will stay that way, keep his head on his shoulder, and his feet on the ground. I love to hear him talk. I think he will relate to Elvis the rest of his life, though in other roles. He explaining about Elvis, his first love of gospel music, loved that. ❤From A Nashville Girl❤
He nailed elvis in EVERY way..im not an elvis superfan so the fact he got me intrigued enough by the few snippets i saw proves he was practically elvis reincarnated in austin butler
The timing has been perfect for many of us. It's been a long time since an Elvis movie and now even young people are now getting into Elvis. I don't think that would've happened without Austin. So thank you Austin for being so amazing in this phenomenal movie!
Well said Jody 👋
I truly believe that he deserves to win every thing that he has been nominated for and more. I think he is so humble just as ELVIS ALWAYS WAS FROM THE VERY FIRST THING HE DID IN HIS CAREER ALL THE WAY THROUGHOUT TO THE VERY LAST THING HE DID IN HIS CAREER ! HE NEVER EVER THOUGHT HE WAS ANY BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD FROM THE VERY FIRST SONG HE DID UNTILL THE VERY LAST ONE HE DID! HE WAS SPECIAL AND SO SO LOVED BY ALL OF US THAT WERE SO BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN HERE ON THIS EARTH DURING HIS LIFETIME! HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS BE
PLAYED AND LOVED AND HIS MOVIES WILL CONTINUE TO BE WATCHED AND LOVED FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME. THANK YOU AUSTIN FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND ALL THE TIME AND YOUR LOVE FOR ELVIS THAT MADE THIS MOVIE BE THE MOVIE THAT SO SO SO MANY OF US WAITED SO LONG TO SEE!! NO ONE COULD HAVE DONE IT LIKE YOU DID! WE WILL FOREVER BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR HEART AND SOUL THAT YOU POURED INTO IT THE WAY THAT NO ONE BUT YOU COULD HAVE DONE! WE LOVE YOU FOR MAKING IT SO SPECIAL!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Austin Butler morphed into Elvis on this movie. He deserves an Oscar! Both Priscila & Lisa Marie approved ... that says a whole lot!!! We have been blessed with this man's talent! And, Tom Hanks played Parker perfectly - I hated him.
He is a SHE.
Makes me sad for both Austin and Elvis that they lost their mothers at such a young age x
Everything happens for a reason. I too lost my mother when I was 23 but unfortunately she didn't loose her life to me it was cancer and God saved her.
hes really under rated he willlllllllllllllllll winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn the OSCAR
Austin deserves an oscar next
Amazing interviewer. He allowed Austin to completely respond to the questions fully without being cut off. Loved this.
An Amazing young Man. An Amazing Performance....ONE of the Best. The Oscar is HIS.
Elvis is the best movie ever that made me travel to 8 cinemas to watch it and last night I rewatched it again on HBO max. Austin speaks feelings!
He is a SHE.
Really ?
This gentlemen right there is what a real actor is. He's into the art for the sole purpose that it's his passion, his need to express. He's well grounded, very empathic to people, he's in touch with his most inner self and soul. To be able to get in touch with who Elvis as the person, not the exterior part of Elvis but Elvis's mind/heart/soul so that Austin could portray Elvis to best of his abilities. Austin dug deep into studying his Elvis's life and he used his own experiences he endured to try and understand Elvis's pain to be able to portray him, such example as the association of both losing their mothers at a young age. Austin is not in the business of acting with purpose for fame, he's only in it for the love of the art and how he contributes that to help others. Of course earning money is want and need, but that's not his only reasons. I hope he gets every award cause he sure deserves it. He put a lot of time, work and studying into capturing Elvis, he wanted to do the right way in honoring Elvis and to make Lisa and the Presley family happy. Sometimes when a actor does that, when the filming is a wrap it takes them awhile to integrate back to self, cause they deeply marinated and immersed themselves into that character. I wish Austin a success on his journey of acting.
In my humble opinion - A man like Austin would had been the perfect type for Lisa, it would of done her well. I'm not saying those two should of been a couple, of course not cause he's young enough to be her son, I'm just using his character, heart, depth, insight, gentleman ways, grounded, his depth, empathy etc...as an example of what kind of man would of have been good for her. She needed a man like that to understand her as what she dealt with being the child of Elvis, to understand her as a artist in her own right, to be her strong arm and protector, someone not after her cause Elvis was her dad. I honestly believe she was never happy in a marriage cause she compared the men to her father, which is very understanding considering she lost him at a very young age and that he was a excellent father to her, other reasons is those men weren't interested in her as the woman/person she truly was, they just wanted associated to her cause of her inherited wealth and Elvis. I don't know much about her ex husband Danny, but from what little I do know, is he seemed like a good guy and father to their children, but maybe they just didn't understand each other's world, Lisa trying to find her own identity in the shadows of her father, just a very complex situation for her, that caused her confusion, pressure, and turmoil. I truly believe had she met the right kind of man for her, the strong love she had for him he would of been able to be influential in a way to lead her life in the right direction. She was rebellious but with right man it would of altered that in her. May Lisa rest easy now. She'll always be greatly loved and missed.
Austin, deserves every single award there is!!!!
He does deserve all awards.....he did an awesome job in the movie "Elvis"
I Agree100%
My Mom passed when I was 27, I know that feeling of hurt. I am 83 now and I still think about her everyday, she was a very special woman to many people including my two brothers and my Dad. ♥️😔😔😔♥️
OBSESSED with this incredible human being! Such Humility. ❤❤
So sorry Austin you lost your mother I feel very sad for you she will always be with you I know so I love Elvis movie you are a great actor even more I will never forget how you touch my soul wish all good things in life Oscar for AB
He was spot on in the movie. Sometimes, it blurred the lines between if I was looking at Austin, or Elvis. He was so good, it was spooky. I believe that when someone absorbs an icon such as this, a little bit of that spirit is within them. I saw the same thing with Jennifer Lopez when she did Selena.
What a well spoken person! His choice of words to describe a specific time is proof that he was well educated. His humility is a gift!
She not he. LOOK.
Thanks 😊
Austin you did an excellent job on Elvis movie. You deserves the award!
Incredibly well spoken! He kind of sounds like Johnny Depp.
In which way?
He was awesome in the movie and his interviews are always interesting. I haven’t watched the Oscars in years but I’ll be glued to my seat this year and cheering on the movie that it wins all the awards that it truly deserves.
YES!
The movie itself is inaccurate. So much of it is untrue so it does not deserve any award. However Austin does deserve an Oscar for his portrayal of Elvis.
I live in Paris, but I ’ll be glued too on my seat !!!!
@@sandrabrown2132 if you have done research and listened to Baz Lehurmann at all u would know this movie was true Baz found the young boy that was with Elvis in the Pentecostal tent if the movie was false the Presley family would not have told them how much they loved the movie. Baz is a genius and did research on Elvis over a 5 year span he and Austin have both done Elvis & The Colonels life justice! Do your homework!!!! 💕💕🐝
@@beatriceasfeld8999 Believe me I have done research on Elvis Presley. First of all the scene with Tom Parker and him in a Ferris wheel is false. They didn’t meet like that. Secondly. Priscilla did not leave Elvis from Graceland with Elvis at the top of the stairs, sniveling and all drugged out. I could go on but I am not going to list the 20 or so places in the movie I found. Also, He and Priscilla did not sit in his car after they signed divorce papers and Lisa was not there with her Nanny. How do I know all this? By reading Priscilla’s book. That’s how. So don’t preach to me about doing research. Sounds like you need to do some on your own.
Austin deserves every award!❤
I lost my mom at 19 so I know the pain. I will be cheering him on for the Oscar, he did such an amazing job!
Oh my gosh, I adore Austin so much. The Elvis movie was extraordinary ❤
Austin, your mum is chatting to Elvis in heaven , both saying how well you done and they are both very proud of you. Michelle x
no, they are not, where are you getting that from? Definitely not the bible!
💗Your words are soooo sweet and accurate!💗
@@westaussie965 A Christmas tree not in the bible but I still have one. Have a blessed Christmas
@@ilikejelly7890 good one lol
@@westaussie965 Remain mindful that these days many can communicate with those passed. I don't know why you think it's impossibe
I’m sorry you lost your mom so young, I know the deep grief, l lost mine young too and it was the worse thing I have had to deal with. But I’m glad you tapped into that emotion for the movie, it was so incredibly moving. It was beyond my expectations that you picked up so many details of Elvis’ walk, voice and how it changed. Not enough words for how fantastic you did. Thank you for the joy you brought us fans!!
Me too 😢
Austin Butler did such an amazing job!! I can’t wait to show this movie to my Gma!!!!!! She lost her husband after 50 years of true love marriage!! 🥺😔😔😔 Now that’s LOVE!! Since my Grandpa passed from Alzheimer’s, me and my Grandma’s relationship has basically become soo much closer!! I love her to death and I’ll never forget how their love lasted and how they both moved on the dance floor!!!!!! When they started to dance, the whole family would just sit to the side and just watch in amazement!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. It’s sad that love like that doesn’t exist anymore. R.I.P Grandpa Bob.
AUSTIN DESERVES THE OSCAR FOR ELVIS 💙🙏🙏💙
Austin and Elvis were really so similar especially in the paths they both have traveled through life and I admire Austin for not only his honesty about the role but how he was able to connect to Elvis and really truly show how Elvis was human just like we are. Austin and the cast did an amazing job on this movie and I truly love it and continue to watch it often. He deserves the Oscar for this movie!
My neighbor from childhood wrote Unchanged Melody. He was a generous, kind man with great talent

*Unchained* Melody (not «unchanged») 🤗
Austin really comes across as very genuine in his interviews.
HIS?
I love listening to Austin Butler, so interesting, such an amazing young man
He is just awesome!!!! I hope he wins the Academy Award!!!!!
God made you, just like he did Elvis, we are here for a reason I love you dude
Oooh...I wish someone would show that audition tape!!!!
Me too!
That's exactly what I was thinking and going to say why don't they play the tape where he was in his robe I would love to see that.
I would love to see the audition tape, also!!!
@@judyschrimsher7247 So would I.
I absolutely love Mr. Austin Butler !!
It would be so cool if he released his own music!
Yes so right! I wish he would!
Austin seems such a lovely person and so down to earth, he absolutely did elvis credit he did a great job of that movie he deserves all the credit for that. He has all the things going for him.
We would love to see this audition tape
Understand perfectly when he talks about gospel singers' effect on he and Elvis. Some years ago I was at a very holy shrine in Ireland - a place called Knock Shrine. People used to walk and travel miles and miles for cures at this holy place. Well, somebody sang the song Lady of Knock and there was such a spiritual feeling in the air. (Beautiful song). Music is indeed the universal language. So beautiful that Lisa (R.I.P.) and her whole family got to witness Elvis being honored. Sad and beautiful at the same time. Blessings.
I am so interested that you mention the Knock Shrine - every time my Mother revisited Ireland, she had to visit the Knock Shrine - it seemed to have powerful meaning for her - I have pictures of her praying at the Shrine that I treasure - thank you for bringing back memories.
He deserves it all.He is so talented.
So hope Austin goes far ... he's incredibly humble and shows insight and maturity ... I can definitely see him as one of the big names people will remember...
Impressive young man
He puts so much sincerity & sentiment in discussing his audition & linking it with singing Unchained Melody to his mom.
Austin Butler killed it on SNL! He did a fantastic job, holding his own on hilarious skits. It is a MUST SEE!
Thank you, I will look for that.
Thanks 😊
I saw a rerun of this a few days ago and it prompted me to be curious about him, which led me here. Yes, he killed it his performance but the sensitive way he comforted Cecily Strong through her farewell sketch showed something extraordinary about him as a person, too.
Plain and simple.. saw him on Saturday night live first time. Impressed big time! Who is he?? Watched him on “Elvis”.. holy shit! Told my daughter, this kid is a STAR! He’s it!!! Just the beginning.
He deserves the oscar and every other award.I love Austin he did great.
Austin's performance in Elvis shows his dedication to showing his respect for Elvis. Not many actors would take the time to try and perfect their performance. I am so glad Baz chose Austin, he was the best choice. He is such a phenomenal actor. Thank you for your dedication Austin.!!!
Always love Austin's interviews! He's so well-spoken ❤
Along with being humble and I gorgeous!!!
You mean SHE.
So genuine!!
@@dianecarver6566 thanks 😊
Thanks
He is incredibly talented. He has scenes of the bigger picture. He looked at the pain, the torment and anxiety that Elvis felt. Very intuitive
Austin Butler is a delight! Talented and humble young man. Great job on the movie! You pulled it off phenomenally well!
Thanks a lot
Such a thoughtful and insightful Soul❣️ Beautiful gift!!!
Austin!! So talented, so sweet, so genuine,so darling, so gentle(yet MASCULINE),so humble,soooo gorgeous!!! Have no fear, Austin....you are the real deal, authentic to the core.Stay with your ‘real’ self and you can’t go wrong. Your precious Mother can be sooo proud !! I know she passed ,but I believe she KNOWS you are a very, very wonderful young man of whom she can be thrilled to call her son. Your Dad seems to have been instrumental as well, and your sister. I don’t see you getting a big head as some do. I pray you always stay as sweet and humble as you are, It is a gift from God....treasure it, Austin,and God bless you always.😊❤
He is a female.
Austin’ you did a Awsome Job❤
Hear hear - well said MB
Amen and Amen!!!

OSCAR OSCAR le film est tout simplement magnifique Austin est formidable dans sa prestation complètement investi dans la peau du KING BRAVO Austin❤❤❤❤
He is the most down to earth, humble, young man - such sentiment about his mom is touching to hear him speak. Very genuine individual.
He did an awesome job. Deserves every reward.
This is an OUTSTANDING, really thoughtful interview. It’s one of the best, most natural ones I’ve EVER seen between an interviewer and an interviewee. Thank you for this; I learned a LOT.
Can’t help but love this guy, he put in 110% playing Elvis. Absolutely fantastic…love you Austin xx
Brainwashed and ignorant
I loved Austin Butler
I love how he isn't trying to entertain anybody in this interview. He's very introspective ND takes his time thinking about the questions. This was a fantastic interview.
Austin Butler for Best Actor Oscars
Wonderful. laid back interview. First time I've heard Austin speak as himself, so well spoken. I love the tone of his voice, deeper than I would have thought, loved listening to him here. Don't think anyone could have done a better job at portraying Elvis, that's a tough one, he's such an icon. Be proud, you did well, mom would have been so proud also.
And the Oscar goes to……Austin Butler🎉❤
I wish
I'd love to see him perform live, he is MAGNIFICENT.
He should do an “Elvis” Las Vegas show
This interviewer asked some great questions.
Austin Butler did a phenomenally superb job of impersonating Elvis Presley. You sooo deserved and earned your award
Austin Butler’s performance in “Elvis” was phenomenal He absolutely deserves the Oscar
I love him so much ❤️
He is a SHE.
Very talented and intelligent man 👏👏👏👏and he looks a bit like Elvis loved the movie 😍
Thank you Austin! You gave so much in this interview!! Congrats to the interviewer for letting Austin talk. Top Notch!!!❤
Just adore this man
Just watched the movie, ND WOW! Great job Austin, I was a huge Elvis fan. 👏 🥰💝💝💝
I sure hope you win every award Austin and I have watched the movie 28 times so far in the last 5 days and you are it.... The perfect one to play Elvis!! Your better than any other Elvis impersonator.....
One of the best interviews I've heard. Honest and soulful. ♥️
What a talented young man. I just now finally watched Elvis tonight. I was blown away. I missed the Globes but will watch the Oscars for sure.
I could look past Austin not looking just like Elvis in the new film. He sure captured his spirit. I say this as a diehard Elvis fan. Besides, has there ever been anyone found that could double for the king?
there were moments in the film where he did resemble him a bit
He didn’t look exactly like Elvis, but he still made me believe he was Elvis. Phenomenal talent.
Austin is so so so so soooo massively talented, I truly hope to see him on stage, he has this magnetism, he is absolutely magnificent.
Magnetism? He is a SHE.
@@Somee989 wtf are you talking about
@@DYA9091 I know its shocking to people who dont see it. Close set eyes, small mouth, small skull, wider hips then shoulders, sloping shoulders, small hands & feet, small wrist, chin implant. MOST ALL of HOLLYWEIRD are flipped. The symbolism they flash too. I know its difficult to come out of Platos Cave.
@@Somee989 omg get out of your cave
Somee989 … small feet? Have you ever SEEN his feet? And his hands aren’t small either …. Where on earth did you come from?
I really enjoyed the movie.
He's got a very deep voice!
Sorry about your Mum ❤️
He is so smart and talented with that sexy adorable charisma 🥰 I love how his mom is watching out for him 💋
SEXY? You like girls? LOOK again.
Absolutely an awesome young man in every way! So talented & Such a true gentleman!
He so deserves every award possible 👏
