Austin Butler has been chosen to play Elvis
Presley in the upcoming movie about the rock
legend and the Internet is torn.
So far he’s been known for dating the former
Disney star Vanessa Hudgens but is Austin’s
career about to take off?
It’s your boy Marky Mark here and I’m
gonna tell you more about the guy who will
star as the King of Rock&Roll.
Did you know that Austin Butler started his
acting career totally by accident?
When he was 13 he was spotted at a local fair
by a headhunter who invited him to join the
company he worked for.
Austin liked the idea so much that he not
only joined the agency but also began taking
acting classes on his own.
All that paid off because Austin joined Disney
Channel and since then he has appeared in
several TV series and films, such as "The
Carrie Diaries", "Zoey 101", “iCarly”
and, of course, in "Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure".
However, it seems that this year may be a
breakthrough for him, and it’s all because
of the recent Quentin Tarantino movie, "Once
Upon a Time in Hollywood," where Austin plays
a relative of the killer, Charles Manson.
But the breaking news is that it’s just
been officially announced that Austin Butler
has been chosen to play the role of Elvis
Presley, in the new biographical film about
the legendary musician.
Austin beat Miles Teller and Harry Styles,
who reportedly auditioned for the role as
well.
Although the movie still doesn’t have a
name, it’s been revealed that it will cover
Elvis’ beginnings in music and his rise
to fame and it will start being filmed early
next year.
Obviously, since the news has officially been
announced, people’s reactions have been
flooding the Internet.
But, the one comment that was the most important
for the brand new King of Rock was the one
from his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens.
She posted a message on her Instagram saying
that she was proud of Austin and couldn’t
wait to see the movie.
How did the dream couple of Hollywood get
together?
According to sources, the relationship of
this pair officially began in 2012 after Vanessa
broke up with Zac Efron.
But there are rumors that Austin and Vanessa
liked each other when they both worked for
Disney.
I don’t know how true these rumors are cause
Vanessa was in a relationship with Zac back
then and weren’t they just everyone’s
favorite couple?
Anyway, ever since Austin and Vanessa made
their relationship official they’ve just
been THE couple goals!
They often appear together on red carpets,
charity events and festivals.
Don’t even get me started on all the photos
that they both post on their social media
with these sweet captions that they dedicate
to each other.
Aren’t they just the cutest couple?
I hope they stay together forever!
I hope that these new projects will boost
Austin’s career and he will not only be
known as Vanessa Hudgens’ boyfriend.
And what do you think of Austin Butler?
