Austin Butler can’t stop talking like Elvis because he’s hurt

Although Butler’s role as Elvis has been praised and recognized with awards and nominations, it has drawn attention that the actor has not stopped talking like the singer in real life.

The actor has had the accent since May 2022 when the film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, during promotional interviews, in his appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in December and even at the 2023 Golden Globes.

Although Butler initially told E! News on January 10, 2023, that he didn’t know he was still speaking like Elvis because he couldn’t tell the difference, he soon accepted that he had gotten too deep into the role.

The 31-year-old actor appeared on a Feb. 3, 2023 episode of the “Graham Norton Show” and revealed that after three years in the role, he’s realized he’s talking like Elvis and is going to stop doing it because he’s already done damage. neck.

“I’m getting rid of the accent, but I’ve probably damaged my vocal chords from all this singing. One song took 40 takes. It made me realize for a second because I thought, ‘Am I faking it?’ Isn’t that my voice?’ .

As one of Hollywood’s method actors, Austin Butler, may have modified and damaged his vocal chords by putting too much pressure on them for several years, said Irene Bartlett, his voice coach for “Elvis.”

Speaking on ‘ABC Gold Coast’ on January 16, 2023, the also professor at Griffith University in Australia explained that the larynx does not stabilize in a person until the age of 30, so they could have an accent for some time.

Butler has also compared his voice to the phenomenon that happens to people after living for a long time in a country other than their own, where they unwittingly adopt the accent.
