Austin Butler’s heartfelt tribute to Lisa Marie

“I am glad to have been accepted into the family,” he continued. The situation is “bittersweet.”

In an interview with reporters, the actor explained how fortunate he was to be able to play Elvis Presley in the biopic Elvis, for which he has subsequently received a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award.

“I miss the feeling of standing on an international stage, looking out, looking down at the jumpsuit that I was wearing, and realizing there were certain moments where I was seeing the closest thing to what Elvis would have seen during his ’68 Special or whatever that was,” Butler said of the filming experience.
