Austin Butler Still Talks Like Elvis

[QUOTE]The actor rocked his infamous Elvis accent at the Oscars on Sunday, much to the chagrin of fans tired of hearing his take on the southern drawl. They’d prefer he be himself vocally, with many poking fun on Twitter.

Drop the accent, gain some weight.

The shoes he wore to the Oscars were just terrible.

I was shocked at how thin he was in profile. It was like he was emasculated like a Darfur orphan. Is this all for a roll?

It's beyond goofy how long he's maintained the Elvis shtick. Beyond it being majorly cringe and embarrassing, it reeks of amateurism. Even Daniel Day hangs it up when the shoot wraps. That phony voice only suggests he's trying to hide something.

Maybe he's like one of those trained animals that learns a trick and can't unlearn it.

Child actors give me trained animal vibes.

He's young enough. Maybe he can be trained to perform the way people want him to.

Specifically, the people who want him to be an actor on par with Dana Plato, Brad Renfro, and that guy on the dolphin show who killed himself.

Sci-fi dolphins. I'm not talking about "Flipper."

So don't flip out, people much older than me.

That's so sad about that dolphin on the Flipper TV show, that killed itself.

So glad he lost. He's fake to the bone and dumb enough to think he can hoodwink people by putting on aires. Austin Bullshit will do and say anything to get ahead. Bet his dead mother didn't even really care for him and finally kicked the bucket to be rid of his fake ass. He got lucky with a good role, but he'll always be a Nickelodeon / Disney kid incapable of independent thought and emotion. He will always do what others tell him works because he is a shell of a person with no real upstanding moral center. You KNOW Vanessa Hudgens was happy to see him lose. He even grimaced in defeat. Believe the BAFTAs if you want, hack! They're irrelevant. Sill clinging to remnants of the faded British Empire.

That dolphin suicide was bullshit.

It was a case of auto-erotic asphyxiation, and trust me, that shit never made it to the papers back then.

I heard about it all on this "Hollywood Animal Scandals of Yesteryear Podcast." They were doing a Golden Girls themed episode.

They told that Bea Arthur big dick joke from the roast?

I don't why they brought up the dolphin story.

Did Lloyd Bridges ever guest star on the Golden Girls? You know, like for SWEEPS or something.

Remember when SWEEPS was a thing?

He was rude and dismissive towards Laverne Cox on the E! pre-show, but the questions were inane.

“What story are you telling with the tux you’re wearing tonight?”

WTF?

No point keeping the Elvis voice now.

I never understand the DL hatred towards People You've Never Met and Only Know Via Short Clips On Entertainment Tonight

I hope it was just a gimmick for the Oscars

I kind of hope he rolls out a new nonsensical accent for no reason now. Let him spend the next 3 years as a South African or Yorkshireman with zero explanation and everyone's irritation.

As for the emaciation, isn't he dating Cindy Crawford's daughter?

Eating probably not high on a model's agenda.

Maybe he's like Brad Pitt and changes his own personality to mirror who he's dating, R16?

He looks way too thin, the suit he was wearing was ill-fitting and he needs to get rid of that "mustache" and "beard" because it's not growing in correctly.

That stopped the second the name "Brendan" was heard from the stage.

R19, He was wearing an Yves Saint Laurent tux.

I don’t know, R20. I think he can’t help it.

Last night at the Oscars, he looked like he weighed 90 pounds and from the side profile, he is not that good looking...

amazing, what make-up, lighting and so on can do (i.e. how he looked as young Elvis) in a movie..

Glad this clown didn't win.

Poor thing. Maybe it’s a head injury? I’ve heard that brain damage can make one start speaking with an accent.

Didn't he just finish filming Dune 2. The villain part that Sting played in the 80's. Does he keep the Elvis accent or does he get dubbed.

Actors are so dumb and stupid.

She's so fake and pretentious!

What is really stupid about it is that it makes it look like he was just playing himself.

If his accent IRL was totally different than in the movie, it would underscore his acting.

What an idiot.

Actually R8 it's for a cinnamon roll.

You are being too hard on him I think. He has to endure questions knowing full well he won’t get this year’s Oscar. If he is indeed faking voice ,how can he keep it up all the time in every role? His voice may well have been damaged playing Elvis

Hopefully he's not on the Lisa Marie diet.

He's been milking every bit of publicity out of Awards Season because he knows he has a very slim window in which to try to claw his way onto the A-list, but, well. Everyone knew that this was Fraser's Oscar, so this was one night where he knew that making a spectacle of himself was going to make him look like a prat.

Thank goodness he didn't win for his first really big movie.

Let's see if he still has that Elvis accent 3 months from now, now that the Oscars are over.

His best bet now is to take on an Asian accent.

Maybe that's the way he really talks.

Such a retarded lie. It's now just a sick joke perpetrated by the following: jerks; a-holes; 40 IQs; fans of his ex-gf; fans of other actors; incels.

He amply demonstrated on "Jimmy Fallon" upon request how Elvis sounded and spoke in three different decades.

None of it sounded like Austin.

But the Academy voters bought into the libel.

R35, He hasn't had it---as if you would know how Elvis sounded---for a long time. You're being a stupid parrot, unfortunately not a rare breed.

Why, r34? Superior rookies are lauded in other realms of endeavor.

I hate stupid people.

What is truly "cringe" is how allegedly legitimate media outlets use Twitter and its anonymity as a source for articles.

Random Tweets from who knows whom or where, and the NY Post says they're from "fans"?

WTH did they do for "opinions" before Twitter existed? Go to a bunch of Moms' basements??

Twitter is the closest thing we have to a national and global town square, R41. Some of the biggest corporations pay millions of dollars to use Twitter to gauge what people think and want. It’s perfectly legitimate for news outlets to use it, as well.

No, R42! My show is the global public square!

[R39]

Austin is that you? why so angry? Are you still in Elvis creature and lashing out at people?

Yes, yes, it is I, r44. I don't suffer fools gladly, bless your heart.

Preach R41 I'm so sick of all of headlines that claim PEOPLE ARE OUTRAGED about some topic and you click and it's just some asshole on twitter.

R42 has never heard of "bots" or "trolls" or "morons who have nothing better to do." Pity.

No point in keeping the Elvis thing going, as there's no sequel since Elvis died. Time to expand your range.

[quote] Didn't he just finish filming Dune 2. The villain part that Sting played in the 80's.

It would be hilarious if he starts talking like Sting all of a sudden.

I think it's great, now he can go to Vegas and be an Elvis impersonator for the rest of his life.

Voice coach says it might last the rest of his life

r51 I suppose its just lucky Butler wasn't around when they had white actors playing other races if he's that bad from just putting on an accent. Can you imagine the horrific years long racial horror if he'd played Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Looks like the Elvis voice is finally gone
