I'm NOT kidding - look for Austin come Oscar time...his performance? one word: WOW!!! Thanks for watching my chat with Austin and director Baz Luhrmann. Austin's grandmother Linda had no idea I was interviewing him a few days ago and wanted me to tell him how proud they are of him. I hope you found the moment endearing. Let me know what you think of the movie after it opens! Oh - and feel free to SUBSCRIBE. More interviews and coverage on KTVK / "Good Morning Arizona" and Harkins Theatres coming soon!

What AN AWESOME interview..I loved your questions Tara! The movie was amazing..I've seen it 3 times already! Austins performance was so powerful that halfway through I had trouble distinguishing him from Elvis! When I heard Baz was doing this film that's what made up my mind to see it...he made my all time favorite movie Moulin Rouge...I now have a new favorite 😉! I also love the respect they both gave to Priscilla (& family), not just in the movie but in real life as well!! It's about time someone acknowledge her in a positive way..🙏🏼...Elvis was my first love...Austin is my second now!!

I am grandmother to a blond green eyed cutie just like Austin. He wears his hair floppy on top and is 6 ft tall too and slim. He in college. Austin makes me think of him... Austin's proud granny must be reading and watching everything. . I know how proud I am of my gs. In fact I told him comb your hair back like Austin and watch what happens when you walk across the campus. Lol.

We followed Elvis for 5 years until his passing in 1977. Austin Butler had Elvis's soul in him. Been a fan since 1956. Seeing ELVIS on June 21st, 2022 here in St. Louis. Austin Butler should be oscar award for his performance in ELVIS.

Austin kindness, being humble and caring so much how Elvis's fans and family would react. Has so much respect for Elvis. He could see to this day how much he is loved and how talented he was. Oscar winner for sure.

This kid (to me, cause I'm old) is so well-spoken and expresses himself so well. He always comes off as a genuine, down-to-earth nice person. I hope he finds lots of success after this movie's released.

The whole team that made this movie happen are absolutely amazing. I will watch the oscars for the first time in about 20 years to see Austin win best actor, Baz best director, Tom best supporting actor and Elvis the best movie.

Tomorrow it will be the third time that I will watch this very handsome,cute,talented Austin Butler as Elvis.He bring such happines with his incredible acting.Oscar is waiting for him!

this movie has changed my life forever and my music life (I play guitar and piano) , I watched it and once it ended I sat there in the theatre for a good 5 minutes just completely speechless, I loved it so much so obviously I dragged my parents along with me to watch it again and they absolutely loved it, they walked out of the cinema with smiles on their faces and they were sharing what they remembered of Elvis from when they were younger and how my mum used to have a crush on him, I mean WHO DIDN'T- and it made me so happy.

He is the cutest most wholesome person ever, I love him so much

He’s is so good looking. I my heart melts every time I see a video

Loved the movie Austin did a phenomenal job !! Omg when he came on screen the hair on my arms stood up . He was Elvis to a tee . 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

AND he loves his grandma!thank you Grandma!!!!!!!

I love love love Austin Butler in the movie Elvis sooo sexy, help So cute so handsome like a real Elvis gorgeous hunky I was sweating I wanted to scream to. Give him the academy award He sings, dances, talks smiles, like Elvis.

Love what Austin said about pushing through imposter syndrome.

If he doesn’t win an Oscar someone owes him and Elvis a serious apology.

More blessings just stay GROUNDED AUSTIN .

Austin Butler deserves every award possible for this performance. This movie is amazing! And of course, Tom Hanks was incredible!

though elvis died a few decades before i was born, i grew up with him and his music. it's funny seeing austin go from shows i grew up with to this; its insane because this man is SO TALENTED. i'll be seeing this movie in theaters for the 5th time in a few days and i will not hesitate to buy it on DVD. everything about this movie moves my soul.

He will win the academy award. No doubts.

Thank you Austin for your tribute to Elvis!!! The energy is real! Just watched the movie twice in another cinema :)

Austin is the sweetest! This man just has it all. Beautiful inside and outside. Right away you can tell that he is very intelligent, eloquent, there is humbleness about him which makes him even more attractive. He gives me the vibe of being such a good guy with strong character. And his performance as Elvis? Absolutely blew my mind and I hope he's nominated for Oscar and wins it in the end!🍀

Austin is very talented very well spoken. He did a great job in the movie.

I'm in love with Austin... so talented... so humble

So Awesome they had dinner at Graceland & Drinks in the Jungle Room,The Presley’s embracing this film means so Much to Baz & Austin and all involved in the film ,They really loved Elvis

I love this young man ..he is so Mature well spoken..he is fit for the oscar💯

oh i loved this interview. of course because of Austin and Baz, but also because it's clear the interviewer (Tara, I believe) did her research and didn't ask questions we've seen a thousand times. what a refreshing, interesting piece.

Now that the movie is streaming and on demand on spectrum and also on HBO MAX, I hope everyone gets to see it. Of course it's so wonderful to see it on a huge screen but it's still great at home. I will be watching the Oscars for the first time in 5 years.

Wonderful interview! That was cool that Lisa and Priscilla took them over to Graceland after the screening and had dinner in the jungle room.👍

A beautiful man and so much talented. Absolutely amazing

Loved the movie Elvis would be proud In ,68comeback was a hit Austin looked like Elvis in the whole movie especially in the black leather Elvis Spirit was definitely in him I seen it twice Great Job Austin

I watch all the trailers & interviews & I have become to like Austin tremendously as himself & as ELVIS. HE IS SUCH A NICE PERSON & SINCERE & VERY GOOD LOOKING & A GENTLEMAN. HE REALLY WAS NERVOUS WHAT THE PRESLEY FAMILY WAS GOING TO THINK OF THE MOVIE & HIM AS ELVIS. ❣❣

I’ve fallen down a large rabbit hole for all promo for this movie but this is one of the best interviews I’ve seen. Very refreshing, interesting, and entertaining. Thank you for that.

I have heard that Austin's mum passed away when Austin was 23 and Elvis's mum passed away when ELVIS was 23 years of age!

My son saw butler Elvis. 3 times

He’s a method actor. The guy is from Anaheim, so he should be rocking the Bill and Ted/Airborne hybrid, but he sounds like a southern gentleman type. He sounds more like he’s from Arizona than California, but when you’re method acting for 2 years, it’s hard to drop the accent.

#elvislookingdownataustinproudly

I love that question: “what role would you see Elvis playing in one of your movies”

Mas da vontade de deita

Talvez não ter a desfile mas mesmo assim vou ter de está de pé as sete dez

Austiñ B plays EliviS,,,❤❤❤❤

They’re not only In Scottsdale/Phoenix

is it really elvis or is it austin butler yeah I do not now at all lisa nice hair wow

We loved the Harkins in Southlake TX, but you closed it !!! Why??? It's an EVO now. Going there to see this next week.

Àustin plàys EliviS in the film Elivs 22,,

Bro if Ewan McGregor is getting compared to Elvis he should take that as a compliment cause they both are amazing

I’m excited to see this movie and enjoyed Austin speaking about his grandparents. But I was sad to hear Baz speak of having dinner with the family including cousins. I know that Elvis’s closet cousin that lived with him for 20 years, Billy Smith wasn’t invited. He and his wife Jo who was extremely close to Elvis should have been there.

Cousin Billy, along with Lamar Fike and Marty Lacker wrote one of the trashiest books I have ever read.....a bit of it. Had to toss it, it was so horrible. Pure betrayal. All for $$$. Then for all these years that same bunch got on TV and said things about Elvis that made them even worse betrayers. When Elvis died, and then Vernon not long after, none of the betrayers were ever welcomed at Graceland or any Elvis Week events. Lisa hates them all who betrayed her father. Thank goodness for a small handful, like Jerry Schilling who stayed true to Elvis to this day. Lisa told Diane Sawyer she hopes they rot in hell.
