Austin Butler's transformation is complete. The actor spent the past few years immersed in Elvis Presley's every day leading up to the 2022 premiere of the Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic. As the film now makes its way into the award-season circuit, rumors about Butler's continuing dedication to the role — notably, his continued use of the late rock icon's distinct accent. This was especially true in the 2023 Golden Globes, where Butler's portrayal of Presley in "Elvis" earned him the award for best performance by an actor in a motion picture or drama. Butler thanked Presley in his acceptance address, demonstrating his newfound drawl in tact. "You were a hero and a rebel, and I adore you so much." "I'm recalling it, and I will never forget." Butler joked, "You should at least play 'Suspicious Minds' or something's at the top of the music, offending him."

Priscilla Presley's side of Baz Luhrman's musical biopic Elvis tells Priscilla Presley's tale of her relationship with the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber have been dating since December 2021, but for the most part, they prefer to keep their romance private, away from the spotlight. Neither Butler nor Gerber has revealed much about their personal lives, other than their casual outings, their red carpet debut as a couple at this year's Met Gala, and their loved-up appearance at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. And they like to keep it that way. In a GQ interview, Butler responded, "I don't think there's anything I want to talk about." "Thanks for the time being." However, he did briefly comment on being photographed with Gerber for a brief period of time. "I go, if I don't see the picture, then it doesn't really exist to me," he said. "I don't want to be negative, but there isn't any job I despise more than paparazzi."
