Austin Butler

Austin Butler is at the Academy Awards. The actor made his final red carpet appearance for his 'Elvis' at the 2023 Oscars.

The California native is nominated in the Best Actor category at [this year’s Academy Awards](https://www.j-14.com/posts/oscars-2023-academy-awards-nominees-date-host-more/) for his portrayal of the late singer, Elvis Presley. So, having a way of tapping into his energy helps, and that might be the reason it gets brought up again and again. “Something like being onstage was a terrifying thing to me as Austin,” he said. I’m sure that there’s just pieces of my DNA that will always be linked in that way.” Now, the actor is officially ready to focus on other roles. The former Disney Channel star rocked a classic Saint Laurent tuxedo while walking the red carpet and posing for photos.

The Hollywood's buzziest leading man appeared at tonight's Oscars ceremony at the Los Angeles Dolby Theater wearing a sleek black velvet suit by Saint Laurent.

What if you were to perform this song, just the way that the music is moving you?' And so constantly trying to get to why he does what he does, what it actually felt like inside of him." And I would want to get very specific—exactly the angle of his hand, or the angle of his head, or how he got up on his toes. "Try[ing] to get down to the core, to his humanity.

"It's hard to list just one because it's such a part of my life, you know?"

The interview came four years after Hudgens, who was still with Butler at the time, told [ Live With Kelly and Ryan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn3rz8g4zRk) in 2019 about a time she and Butler were in a car singing along to an Elvis Christmas song. “We’d been together for so long and she had this sort of clairvoyant moment and so I really, I owe her a lot for believing in me.” That same month, [Hudgens also shaded Butler](https://stylecaster.com/vanessa-hudgens-austin-butler-accent/) in a comment on an Instagram post of a Page Six article with the headline: “Austin Butler’s ‘Elvis’ accent is ‘genuine,’ might remain ‘forever’: voice coach.” The Instagram post included the cation, “He went to the Lady Gaga school of Oscar campaign acting.” In the comments, Hudgens wrote, “crying.” [GQ](https://www.gq.com/story/gq-hype-austin-butler) in May 2022.”Life is full of changes, and you’ve got to find a way to constantly be evolving and growing,” he said. [People](https://people.com/tv/vanessa-hudgens-ready-for-engagement-before-austin-butler-split/) at the time. Hudgens broke her silence in an interview with [Nylon](https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/vanessa-hudgens-2022-red-carpet-relationships) in September 2022. [The Hollywood Reporter](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/austin-butler-brendan-fraser-colin-farrell-actor-roundtable-1235293939/) in January 2023, Butler referred to Hudgens as a “friend” when talking about how she encouraged him to play Elvis Presley in 2022’s Elvis. Two months later, in May 2022, Butler and Gerber attended the [2022 Met Gala](https://stylecaster.com/jacob-elordi-kaia-gerber-austin-butler/) together. [People](https://people.com/movies/lily-rose-depp-and-austin-butler-share-steamy-kiss-after-dinner-date-in-london/), Butler was seen leaning against a brick wall with his arms around Depp as she cradled his face and kissed him. [Just Jared](https://www.justjared.com/2022/02/16/kaia-gerber-austin-butler-step-out-in-london-on-valentines-day-photos/), the two were seen grabbing coffee and pastries together in London, England. Austin Butler and Olivia DeJong were linked in January 2020 after they were photographed together on a date at a movie theater in Melbourne, Australia, where they were filming 2022’s Elvis. [People](https://people.com/style/kaia-gerber-spends-time-with-austin-butler-ahead-of-holidays/) confirmed the relationship in December 2021, reporting that Butler and Gerber were spending time together ahead of the holidays. “All of her friends think he’s really cute.” A source also told [Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2022/01/10/kaia-gerber-dating-austin-butler-after-jacob-elordi-breakup/) in January 2022 that Gerber’s mother, Cindy Crawford, approved of her dating Butler.

Fans troll Austin Butler, 31, who is dating Kaia Gerber, and used to date Vanessa Hudgens, for "still" speaking with an "Elvis" accent at the Oscars 2023.

“when is Austin Butler losing the accent? I cannot believe I’m here right now,” the 31-year-old said, invoking Presley’s signature twang. [wanted to stop talking](https://pagesix.com/2023/02/03/austin-butler-getting-rid-of-elvis-accent/) like the King of Rock and Roll now that the “Elvis” press tour is almost over. Quentin [Tarantino], I printed out the ‘Pulp Fiction’ script when I was 12. I just am so grateful right now. “austin butler still has that goddamn accent,” chortled another, while one person threatened to break the law.

Austin Butler's big night as best actor nominee at the Oscars began without his girlfriend Kaia Gerber alongside him on the red carpet for a reason.

[making out backstage](https://pagesix.com/2023/01/11/austin-butler-kaia-gerber-make-out-after-golden-globes-win/) at the Golden Globes, after all, so there is precedence. Alyssa Bailey is the senior news and strategy editor at ELLE.com, where she oversees coverage of celebrities and royals (particularly Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton). They were [seen kissing “all night”](https://pagesix.com/2023/02/27/austin-butler-and-kaia-gerber-make-out-all-night-at-bash/) there, too, per Page Six. Gerber wasn't photographed solo on the carpet either, so it's unclear whether she is at the Academy Awards. The move may be Butler's way to give the two a little privacy. Butler, 31, opted to attend the Academy Awards solo, without his partner of over a year.

The 'Elvis' star is making the case for razor-edged tailoring.

There's room for so much more than one dominant fit at the modern menswear table, and the way we see it, the more the merrier. Shoulders became more natural, and heavily structured suit jackets—designed to extend the line of the shoulder and create a V-shaped effect for the torso—fell out of favor. Slim–very slim—and pin-neat, Butler's tux isn't an over-the-top example of this impulse, but there's no question it's designed to stand apart from the loose, louche suits that are also a force to be reckoned with on red carpets these days.

That same friend was there and I was playing the piano. “A couple of weeks later, I was playing the piano. “He’s my best friend that I get to work with,” he said of Butler. “He’s the guy that I go to for every career, question.” Gerber, 21, was photographed smooching the Golden Globe winner on the red carpet premiere of Elvis.
