Austin cannot take the Elvis out of him

His involvement with the film led fans and family to notice changes in his voice. As an example, he said:

”My family said I didn’t sound like me anymore,“

As soon as Butler recovered from his illness, he flew out to London where he was in quarantine before filming his next Masters of the Air, a war drama based on World War II.

Talking about Elvis, he said:

“I was like, ‘This is what Elvis felt when he was put into the Army.”

Also, the Masters of the Air director Cary Fukunaga felt Austin’s resemblance to Presley.

He said:

“I was aware when he showed up, he was still very much Elvis.”

Butler revealed that he was a big fan of Presley. He said:

“I’ve never loved somebody I’ve never met more than Elvis.”

“His mother passed away when he was 23, and my mom passed away when I was 23. So when I learned that, it was one of those things where I got chills and I just thought, ‘OK, I can connect to that,'”
