Austin Butler Is On Fire And We Can’t Look Away
Austin Butler is the man of the moment. There’s no denying it. From his jaw-dropping portrayal of Elvis Presley to his recent casting in a reimagining of American Psycho, the guy is everywhere and we’re not complaining.
Butler got his start on kids’ shows Hannah Montana and iCarly. But he quickly outgrew those roles. In 2019, he appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood as one of Charles Manson’s followers. It was a small role but helped put him on the Hollywood map as a serious actor.
All shook up over Elvis
Butler’s big break came when he landed the lead in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. His portrayal of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll was spot on. He nailed Elvis’s voice, moves, and charm. This performance earned him an Oscar nod and global fame.
What’s next for our leading man?
Roles in Dune and Bikeriders followed. Now, there’s buzz about Butler possibly starring in Luca Guadagnino’s take on American Psycho. This isn’t a remake of the 2000 film. Instead, it’s a fresh adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel. If true, it could be Butler’s darkest role yet.

Why we can’t get enough of Austin
Butler’s not just a pretty face. He’s got the acting chops to back it up. He fully commits to each role, often staying in character even off-camera. His dedication shows in his performances, making him a director’s dream.
But let’s be honest, his looks don’t hurt either. With his chiselled jaw and piercing eyes, Butler could easily coast on his appearance. Instead, he’s proving himself as a versatile actor who can tackle any genre.
As Butler’s star continues to rise, one thing’s for sure: we’ll be seeing a lot more of this talented heartthrob on our screens.
