Austin Butler’s stardom came after years of hard work, but the ‘Elvis’ actor is grateful for it all.
I was 20 and I was looking back and going, “Oh, no, my dreams are never going to come true in the same way.”
I mean, I had times where I just thought, Oh, maybe it’ll never happen or I’ll never get those opportunities. But now, in retrospect, I can look back and go, if I had some film that hit really big when I was younger, I wouldn’t have had to keep going back to the drawing board and saying, “How do you get better at this?”
You’re not on social media, and you look up to legends like Paul Newman and James Dean. Do you have meetings with people who try to tell you how to market yourself and make yourself a brand? I’ve definitely had that conversation come up before—and especially when you’re marketing a film or you’re marketing a TV show or something like that. I always get a little bit bashful about it and kind of try to avoid it. But they’re very sweet and I trust them. So I end up just trying to have fun with it.But now we don’t really have those conversations. When Paul Newman was acting, he was always 40 feet tall.
