Even after the release of ‘Elvis’ Austin Butler still carries some of his career-making role within him. But as an actor, there’s nothing worse than being stuck with the character and living in the shadow of the part that made you can take a toll. But the 31-year-old actor has found what to do next thanks to Tom Hanks as his mentor.
Austin Butler recently shared advice that has helped the young star emotionally separate himself from the role that made him. It would be hard for the audience to see him doing anything else. But his line of projects is a testament that he’s more than Elvis Presley. The ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ actor has a sci-fi classic and biker drama film coming soon.
