Austin Butler slipped into his ‘Elvis’ accent while accepting his award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes.
It’s been nearly three years since Elvis began filming and Austin Butler still can’t drop the sultry, Southern accent he adopted to play the ’50’s radio star.
But, Golden Globe viewers weren’t going to let him off the hook when he slipped into the accent while accepting his award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the 80th annual ceremony.
While accepting his award, Butler said, “I just am so grateful right now, I’m in this room full of my heroes.” He went on to express his love for Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino.
“I just want to say to my fellow nominees, you have turned in the most beautiful, profound work, and I am so honored and proud to be listed among you,” the actor continued.
However, viewers on Twitter weren’t paying much attention to his thoughtful words, instead they were distracted by his ever-changing voice.
“If a Canadian Mouseketeer like Ryan Gosling can decide to talk like a De Niro character for the rest of his life, then I’ll allow Austin Butler to keep doing his Elvis voice,” tweeted author Kyle Buchanan.
