I swear Baz Luhrmann put some sort of drug in that Elvis movie. People have seen this movie 11+ times. they’re on tik tok talking about having withdrawals from seeing it. Is it cause Austin butler is hot or cause it’s just really good OR both?

It is typically difficult for one actor to play the same character at several different ages – a problem that plagues biopics like this one. Thanks to some superb makeup and costuming as well as his own transformative performance, Butler pulled it off.
