00:00 Austin Butler apparently needed to hire a dialect coach to get rid of his Elvis accent.
00:05 American actor Austin Butler broke out in his most well-known for his role as Elvis Presley
00:10 in the 2022 musical biopic Elvis. The star snagged a Golden Globe win for Best Actor in a Drama and a
00:16 BAFTA win for Leading Actor, and though his performance as Elvis was widely celebrated,
00:21 it was apparently hard to shake. While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Butler
00:26 shared that he had to go the extra mile to get rid of the Elvis accent before his next film,
00:30 Masters of the Air.
00:31 How long did you work on Elvis? A long shoot.
00:33 Three years.
00:34 So three years as the king and then straight over to this.
00:37 Yeah.
00:38 How did that happen?
00:38 It was almost too fast. All I thought about was Elvis for three years.
00:42 Had a dialect coach just to help me not sound like Elvis.
00:46 Oh wow.
00:46 Wow.
00:47 Yeah, that was the whole thing.
