Product Information

Butler played James “Wilkie” Wilkerson in the ABC Family series “Switched at Birth” about, well, two teens who were swapped at the hospital as babies. While the couple keeps their relationship pretty private, details have slowly emerged here and there about how they spend their time together. From the red carpet of the Met to the gltiz and glamour of the Golden Globes, here’s everything we know about Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler’s relationship (so far). May 27, 2023: Kaia Hugs Austin While He Walks Her Dog I threw all my eggs in one basket,” said Butler, now 30, with a lingering hint of a honeyed drawl, of the immersion he undertook to nab the coveted lead in Luhrmann’s big-budget gamble “Elvis.” “I knew that the only way that I could do it was if I gave it everything that I had.” One of the photos shows Austin and Kaia posing with a little boy holding a guitar, and E! reports that the Elvis star praised his guitar skills. "That's awesome, that sounds so good. I love that song," he encouraged. In addition to their jam session, the couple played board games like Pictionary and Jenga, painted rainbow hearts, talked to the kids, and even signed guitars before heading out. That was the test that I saw in front of me: How do you take Elvis ... and find out who he really was as a man?

At some point in the future, Butler would like to move behind the camera and make movies like Tarantino, Luhrmann and Paul Thomas Anderson, writer-directors he admires. “I love filmmaking,” he said. “I don’t know what else I would do with my life. I’m not ready yet, but there will come a day.” It started that day with Elvis’ entire discography, which Butler put on shortly after getting the call, as he painted and plastered the old house he was living in. He devoured every Elvis documentary, every film, every YouTube fan video he could find. At first, he tried recording himself singing Elvis’ 1956 ballad “Love Me Tender,” but “it looked like an impersonation,” he said, sipping an iced coffee last month at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, “and I thought, ‘I can’t send this.’” It was early 2019 in Los Angeles, and Austin Butler already had Elvis on the brain. A friend, hearing him sing along to “Blue Christmas” in the car, had urged him to portray the icon one day; others brought it up too. Elvis seemed to be everywhere, but it was a dream role that felt impossible.

By July, after undergoing months of Elvis workshops — and an unsolicited call from Broadway co-star Washington, who told Luhrmann, “You’re in for a surprise when you see the work ethic of this young man,” said the director — Butler had beaten out the likes of Miles Teller and Harry Styles for the role. Then the work of finding and translating Presley’s heart and soul began. Ocean’s 8” screenwriter Olivia Milch directed Netflix film “Dude” about a group of teenage girls who grapple with graduating high school. Lucy Hale, Alexandra Shipp, Kathryn Prescott, and Awkwafina star, along with Alex Wolff, Austin Abrams, and of course, Butler. People even shared a clip of the couple kissing on the red carpet. April 3, 2022: Kaia and Austin Hold Hands While Grocery Shopping in Malibu When Luhrmann watched the submission from Butler, a young actor he didn’t know anything about, “it didn’t feel like an audition,” said the Oscar-nominated “Moulin Rouge!” director. “It felt like a spycam.” Love is in the air for model Kaia Gerber and Elvis actor Austin Butler. The duo made things red carpet official when they posed for pics at the 2022 Met Gala, though they had initially dodged dating rumors after they were first spotted together in late December 2021. News of the budding romance began one month after Kaia ended things with her ex-boyfriend, Jacob Elordi, while Austin Butler broke up with his girlfriend of nine years, Vanessa Hudgens, in January 2020.

Months of rehearsals led to the start of production in Australia in January 2020. Butler worked with voice and movement coaches to organically channel Presley whenever Luhrmann wanted to “unleash” Butler to improvise in character. That March, Hanks and wife Rita Wilson became the first Hollywood stars to announce they’d tested positive for COVID-19, and the “Elvis” production was shut down. a.m. June 24, 2022 An earlier version of this article referred to gospel musician Sister Rosetta Tharpe as Sister Rosetta Sharpe.

Butler is confirmed to play Feyd-Rautha, the evil nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) and the heir to the Harkonnen empire in the “Dune” sequel, helmed by Denis Villeneuve. I was sort of embarrassed about some of the things that I had to do,” Butler admitted in 2022. “But I had to cut my teeth somewhere, so I decided to treat each one of these jobs as a way to grow.” Sean Zanni // Getty Images March 31, 2023: Kaia and Austin Spend Time at a Children's Hospital in Los Angeles He summed up, “I was doing these TV shows that were really fun, and some people really dug them. But I didn’t feel fulfilled as an artist. I just wasn’t being challenged in the way that I wanted to.” Now, as Butler’s turn as Elvis Presley has earned him Academy Awards attention, it’s clear that Butler can do anything he wants next. With “Dune: Part Two” and historical epic “Masters of the Air” in the works, Butler has a “Little Less Conversation” and a whole lot more acting up ahead.

Austin, who is nominated for Best Actor, Drama for his performance as Elvis Presley in the 2022 Baz Luhrmann film, Elvis, said that choosing who would come with him to the Golden Globes was "hard," but that "it'll be nice" to attend with his "one and only sister." This means we likely won't see another adorable red carpet moment between Austin and his GF, Kaia, but we'll be looking forward to seeing the 31-year-old actor hit the awards ceremony with his sister, Ashley.

This Is A Life from Everything Everywhere All at Once, Music by Ryan Lott, David Byrne and Mitski; Lyric by Ryan Lott and David Byrne Then the universe called. Or rather, his agent did, to say that filmmaker Baz Luhrmann was making a movie about Presley’s life.Reports that Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler had split emerged in January 2020, with the news following a long social media silence, and coming after the couple spent the holidays apart.

Ahead of the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, Austin sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonightto talk about the upcoming Golden Globes award ceremony, which takes place on January 10. When asked about who he'd be bringing to the prestigious ceremony, Austin replied, "I'm going to bring my sister." Jeff Nichols (“Mud,”“Midnight Special”) writes and directs “The Bikeriders” about the rise of a Midwestern motorcycle gang. Butler leads alongside Michael Shannon, Tom Hardy, and Boyd Holbrook, with Norman Reedus and Jodie Comer also starring. From books like “Elvis and the Colonel,” Butler tried to understand Elvis’ psychology through the defining relationships in his life — not only his fraught ties to Parker, but bonds with his wife, Priscilla (played by Olivia DeJonge); father, Vernon (Richard Roxburgh); and mother, Gladys (Helen Thomson). “There were certain voids that Colonel filled early on,” Butler said. “And that becomes conflicting when you start to realize somebody might be taking advantage of you, but you have sort of sworn your soul to them. Elvis was loyal to a fault at times.” Everyone has some notion of who Elvis was, “but what gets lost is that the guy is just a guy — it’s the humanity of him,” Luhrmann said. “My number one mission was to humanize him. And that might have been my mission, but Austin Butler was the one that flew the plane. ... It was probably the hardest thing. This is the most impersonated man on the planet. But the humanity, Austin had from the get-go.” Butler is set to star in and produce Sony’s 3000 Pictures film adaptation of best-selling author Don Winslow’s “City on Fire.”That was the test that I saw in front of me,” said Butler, who likened it to being a detective, piecing together a psychological profile with what clues he could find. “How do you take Elvis, who’s seen as this icon or this caricature, strip all that away and find out who he really was as a man?” Diving into the research Butler starred in 10 episodes of the beloved series, all while making guest appearances in fellow teen shows “iCarly,”“Wizards of Waverly Place,” and Out of Jimmy’s Head.”
