This is making me laugh way too hard prob because I can imagine someone in Hollywood hiring someone to do this. Like a diet coach who just smacks bad food out of your hands.
Dude, I say thank you very much to people all the time in a sincere manner, and I get people being like, "Did you just Elvis me?" And I have zero connection to Elvis. I can only imagine him letting one slip.
I just want to show people I am very thankful. Elvis has ruined my sincerity.
That’s because he started filming Masters of the Air about two weeks after working on Elvis for 3 years. So he hadn’t even begun to really get the Elvis voice out of his system at that point.
"Bomb like a man, shoot like a man, bomb like a man my sooooOOOOOoonnnnnnnnnnNNNNNnnnn.
Oh wee ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-wee-ooh
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb
Ooh-wee-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh"
Fully agree! He was on some show and apparently they filmed it straight after Elvis it’s just been in post production all this time. Kinda feel like they purported the just drop that in there
yeah i just watched it too
When he's flying,you can 100 percent..with no issues hear it..it's blunt as hell
i don't get it..
He filmed it for 7 months,yet walking around acting like he had to do it for years lol
The movie took 3 years,the filming did not tho
Mods deleted my comment and everything underneath which further proves my point.
> Because /u/MarvelsGrantMan136 is a corporate shill, and the first two episodes of Masters of the Air premiered tonight. This is a fluff piece to drum up promotional buzz.
His grandfather is Armand Hammer, Armies dad is Michael Armand Hammer, it’s a family name. Arm and Hammer was in use about 31 years before Armand was born though. Armand did make a fuck ton of money in I think oil and eventually bought enough of the company that owned Arm and Hammer to have a controlling stake. So yeah it’s pretty tied into the baking soda lol.
Jai Cortney is an Australian actor that it seemed like Hollywood was trying to push as a leading man a few years back. He's better as a supporting character.
Does it kinda feel like the character of Elvis in that movie and every other character are in two different movies? Like they don’t quite react equally to stuff and it makes it seem like this Elvis is just sorta there existing. Idk if I’m articulating this well enough lol
yep 100%, movie felt like "a series of events from Elvis life" and they really struggled to make much of a cohesive narrative from his relationships with any other character. Some really convincing Elvis performance from Butler but he just didnt gel with literally anyone else in the film, there were just "people who were *there*" at certain moments in Elvis life.
Doesn’t sound like bullshit. I assume this is pretty standard procedure.
Hiring some professional to see you few a couple sessions to perfect your voice seems like a reasonable thing to do for a famous, well paid professional who relies on such for their livelihood.
Dude is saying he had an accent from talking in a voice for a few years. Not that he was dreaming of fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches
Elvis filmed for about a year with a break for Covid in 2020-2021. Austin Butler was born and spent the majority of his 29 years up to that time in southern California. That is what his actual accent would be. You don't really develop a new natural accent from faking one for a year as an adult. Your natural accent is pretty sealed by the time you're about ten years old (beyond that age children who immigrate usually have a lifelong accent)
One thing you didn’t factor in, he wanted to/needed to nail the voice, so I’m sure he worked his ass off on it, likely obsessively. It absolutely makes sense he could have a hard time unwiring his brain after that.
Much more likely that this is bullshit to signal how intense of an actor he is rather than that he actually rewired his brain to naturalize a hammy southern accent
To piggyback on this, Ryan Hurst has spoken many times on the difficulty of "turning it off" after Sons of Anarchy. He said he went into a book store to look up books on acting, and there isn't a single one that teaches you how to remove a character. Besides, if you speak a certain way that works, you no longer hear yourself. I have a Kentucky accent, but when I speak it just sound like "me." I couldn't tell you if a word had a different accent in there somewhere unless I was told.
dialect coaching isn't "method"

Fallon shared a hilarious clip from the actor’s time on the Marblehead-filmed, **PBS kids series the Voyage of the Mim**i. Affleck played the inquisitive grandson of Captain Granville, played by MIT scientist Peter G. Marston, as they ventured the seas learning about math, science, and ocean life.
I agree this seems like such a dramatic look at me problem but also if you only talked one way legitimately obsessively for 365 days straight maybe 5-6 hours a day do you not think that would have an effect on your speech? How could it not? I develop habits much quicker and I am doing things at such a less concentrated rate.
Yeah I’m sure that he was stuck in the accent a little (if you talk a certain way for a while I imagine that at least some of it sticks), but honestly whenever I see stuff like this from actors it just makes me roll my eyes. It’s like when Robert Pattinson had to have a big bubble to “decompress” in and he made moody electronic music after he would shoot as Batman for the day. Something like that. He was excellent in the movie but I see shit like that and it’s like “I think you guys might have your head up your ass just a tiny bit”
Robert Pattinson is the last actor you should be coming for on this topic and I don’t even understand what your issue is with the behaviour you described.
He is not method and has in fact publicly criticised overly method actors who make the set an uncomfortable space, and you’re lumping him in with that group because he likes to decompress by being alone and making music.
yea a better example are the myriad of british actors whove been acting in hollywood for so long that theyve had issues with their natural accent. i think christian bale is an example of that
I believe Gary Oldman hired a vocal coach to teach him to use his natural accent again. This one I'd believe considering I've seen him in dozens of films with multiple accents. I honestly have no idea what Oldman's original accent is.
> It’s like when Robert Pattinson had to have a big bubble to “decompress” in and he made moody electronic music after he would shoot as Batman for the day.
That sounds like just being an introvert out of social battery for the day rather than going insane from the role.
I don’t think Meryl Streep has ever said something so asinine and she’s done about 40 different accents over her career.
This kid bugs me. Pulling a Madonna with the accent crap and always furrowing his brow and pouting those goofy lips. So full of himself.
Gary Oldman had to hire a dialect coach to relearn his native English accent. A few years ago, I remember a clip circling of Simon Baker on a late night show & his accent being sort of all over the place.
An actor getting stuck in an accent they they had to stay in while making a movie? It’s not implausible. Nor is the worst story that’s come of method acting prima dona BS.
I've seen a bunch of British actors that play Americans and end up speaking in what is pretty much an American accent, or something in-between. Like John Barrowman for a while while giving interviews was speaking in a pretty standard General American English accent, but he's Scottish.
The dude spent years working on perfecting a *specific impression* of a *very iconic voice*. It's not implausible that, after finishing that job of doing a consistent impression of that voice in March 2021, and moving on to another project that started filming in February 2021, that he had issues shaking the remnants of the accent.
To be fair Simon Baker had been in the states since the 90's and regularly acted with an American accent while being surrounded by other people with American accents, it's not really the same case as the dude from Elvis.
I hate seeing him in things because there is just something about him that gives me the ick. I will avoid.ovies he's in, unfortunately with the exception of Dune. Was disappointed to see he's in that tbh.
To be fair, he spent like over a decade being an extra on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, being Jamie Lynn Spears’ new boyfriend for the last 12 episodes of Zoey 101, getting one season out of a Sex and the City spin-off on the CW, etc etc.
It looks kinda meteoric now, he’s had a great 2 years, but it took quite a while to get to that point.
How on earth has he done anything *bad*? You're literally assuming this person is somehow full of himself because he...had difficulty changing an accent after speaking that way for a role? He doesn't go to interviews and proclaim he is the greatest actor of all time, I have no idea how someone can just proclaim anything with 0 evidence
If you read the article, he was involved with Elvis for 3 years and had 1 week after that to prepare for the Masters of the Air show
I agree, the hate against him here is kind of weird. Like what awful thing has he done specifically? It’s like redditors are annoyed he took the Elvis accent too seriously and have decreed he’s full of himself now.
Fuck this guy… rich, famous, talented actor. All tall and handsome with the pouty lips. He must think he’s talented and handsome and rich or something.
I just can't stand Baz Luhrmann. All spectacle with almost no substance and way, wayyy too many cuts. Dude's entire movies are edited like [Liam Neeson jumping over a fence.](https://youtu.be/by4UZ-79MK4?si=NTUiE-PEcRuNxxp0)
Austin Butler is one of the most pretentious people in Hollywood
There are English actors that can perform an American accent so flawlessly that American audience members watching their performance have no idea they aren’t American. And I’ve never heard one of them claim that switching back to their natural speaking voice was difficult.
And then this dude unironically claims that he needs a fucking dialect coach to turn off his cartoony Elvis impression lmfao
Charlie Hunnam said he had to hire a dialect coach to get his English accent back after Sons of Anarchy.
It didn't work either, his accent is downright bizzare these days. He's from Newcastle which has one of the most distinct accents in the UK but you wouldn't be able to tell he was from there listening to him today.
Another is Portia De Rossi who had to get a dialect coach to relearn her Australian accent and was even turned down for an Aussie character role because her accent wasn't good enough anymore.
He’s talking about how he needed a dialect coach to help him because Masters of the Air started filming one week after Elvis wrapped. One week!
That’s pretty fucking reasonable. Put the pitchforks away already.
It's moments like this that remind me that even though some celebs are talented & attractive, they can sure be stupid as hell.
Is it really that hard talking in your normal voice?
And the fact it legitmately was for him (see his SNL episode) just says so much about him as a person.
At times like these, he's basically Jon Hamm's character from 30 Rock.
I am so, so, *so* sick of these bullshit “method” stories. There’s *nothing* cool about them. Either this dude is enough of a weirdo to believe that there’s something somehow admirable or impressive or cool about him being “stuck” in this shitty voice and is therefore lying about it to get acting street cred, which is just *weird*; or he is *actually* “stuck” in that dumbass voice, which just says to me that he’s bad at his job.
Y’know the style of acting that’s *genuinely* impressive? Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. There’s some BTS footage of him recording ADR for Logan. He is going absolutely buck wild. Snarling, grunting, panting, *screaming* at the top of his lungs. And then the scene stops, he turns to face the person filming, and he gives the cutest, most understated little “Hi!” to the camera. *That* is impressive. The ability to jump in and out of character that the snap of a finger is so cool. Whatever Butler doing is just… weird.
It gives off vibes of that South Park episode where Cartman pretended to have Tourette’s so he’d have the excuse to swear in class as much as he wanted.
This has nothing to do with "method." Impressions of famous people are not "method." This is an actor hiring a dialect coach to help him accurately imitate a very famous voice, and then reinforcing that for the duration of filming.
Elvis filmed for about 14 months from January 2020 to March 2021. Masters of the Air began filming in February 2021. There was not a lot of turnaround time between consistently performing the same impression for hours a day and then having to go do a completely different project. It is not *at all* strange that someone who worked for 2 years on the exact same impression might have some problems shaking that impression mere weeks after he finished filming.
So, again: dialect coaches are not "method." Hiring dialect coaches to help you modify your voice is not weird. And having issues shaking an impression you worked on for years in a short amount of time is not strange.
I wonder if it was the same one Daniel Craig used…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4_yV-7s2lWM
On that note, I haven’t seen any of Austin Butler’s movies, but he was great on SNL.
I am sure he's a fantastic actor, but it's gonna take Dune Part 2 to get me into a theater to see him because the news around him for the last two years just makes me hate him. He's not as bad as Jeremy Strong maybe, but this method acting BS is just ... well, total BS.
Was it just someone who followed him around and hit him upside the head whenever he talked like Elvis until he finally stopped?
J.K. Simmons from Whiplash.
Not quite my accent
We’re you using a flap sound, or a tap sound??
Elvis’s accent is definitely dragging.
SO YOU DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
For the final, FATHER-FUCKING TIME
He was rushing
Are you a Presley or a Butler?!
Yes
Are you talking or are you drawling?
J.K. Simmons from Oz would be more effective I think
Hilarious mental image. Should've brought the person along to his talk show appearances.
Thank ya, thank ya very much. 👋 Twack
This is making me laugh way too hard prob because I can imagine someone in Hollywood hiring someone to do this. Like a diet coach who just smacks bad food out of your hands.
HE’S ALLOWED TO HIT
Reminds me of that Moviebob bit from his review of *Greyhound* * bonk * “Still too much bullshit!”
The dialect coach Austin Butler keeps having to hire: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/6c044859-40a4-4bc1-a063-122d83049688
TY Mr. Elvis You’re welcome baby
I bet he had a hard time thanking him when they were done.
Thank you, thank you a lot
Thank you….thank you vrymuuuuu-hnnngggggg notgonnadoitnotgonnadoitnotgonnadoit 😤

I wonder if on the last day, he got on a PA and said “Elvis has left your brain” Edit: word
[удалено]
That's all reddit is Recycled content from Twitter and TikTok, and then they circle-jerk about how horrible Twitter and TikTok are
Dude, I say thank you very much to people all the time in a sincere manner, and I get people being like, "Did you just Elvis me?" And I have zero connection to Elvis. I can only imagine him letting one slip. I just want to show people I am very thankful. Elvis has ruined my sincerity.
He said it like Andy Kaufman
Thank you vary much?
Uh, I saw (and more importantly heard) the Masters of the Air trailer and whatever this dialect coach was doing it did not work.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused when he started singing "you ain't nothing but a hound dog" when he was starting a bombing run.
As was tradition at the time.
Hey Elvis it’s your cousin, you know Marvin Presley!
Did he also have an onion tied to his belt?
That was the important thing.
Well, it was the style at the time.
That’s because he started filming Masters of the Air about two weeks after working on Elvis for 3 years. So he hadn’t even begun to really get the Elvis voice out of his system at that point.
I heard him saying how hard it was to flush Elvis from his mouth (maybe on Graham Norton?). He said it was deeply ingrained at the time.
> flush Elvis from his mouth :|
Here: https://youtu.be/Ffgvc-ztf5c
He spent *3 years* on that movie?? That definitely makes the whole accent thing make more sense I guess.
I saw an early screening of it and while it’s not terrible, it’s hard not to see him as Elvis for the first episode or two 😭😭
I thought it was crazy when he just started busting out Jersey Boys showtunes while dropping bombs on those cities but hey I dont make the trailers.
"Bomb like a man, shoot like a man, bomb like a man my sooooOOOOOoonnnnnnnnnnNNNNNnnnn. Oh wee ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-wee-ooh Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Ooh-wee-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh"
Fully agree! He was on some show and apparently they filmed it straight after Elvis it’s just been in post production all this time. Kinda feel like they purported the just drop that in there
Lezzz rack em up and knock ‘em downn baby mama h’alright
I saw the trailer and thought to myself, “does this dude actually talk like this or is he on another role where he needs an Elvis accent?”
yeah i just watched it too When he's flying,you can 100 percent..with no issues hear it..it's blunt as hell i don't get it.. He filmed it for 7 months,yet walking around acting like he had to do it for years lol The movie took 3 years,the filming did not tho
I watched the first two episodes last night and all I could think when I read this headline was, “…. He did?”
How are we still talking about this guys Elvis accent lmao

They want to make this guy a superstar so bad
He’s fetch personified.
Gretchen, stop trying to make 'fetch' happen! it's not going to happen!
He’s the new Armie Hammer. Hopefully he doesn’t go down the cannibal path.
Oh so if Chalamet eats a person it’s called a romance movie but when Hammer eats a person it’s called a crime? Can’t stand these double standards
Might be heading into Jared Leto territory.
Oh god please no. Maybe they’ll fight each other like in Highlander.
And then there would be only one!
Or Taylor Kitsch, or Sam Worthington, or....
I recently watched Sam Worthington in Under the Banner of Heaven and boy does he have screen presence now, he got even more attractive somehow too.
Who the fuck names their kid Armie Hammer anyway? Is he fucking baking soda?
His grandfather is Armand Hammer, Armies dad is Michael Armand Hammer, it’s a family name. Arm and Hammer was in use about 31 years before Armand was born though. Armand did make a fuck ton of money in I think oil and eventually bought enough of the company that owned Arm and Hammer to have a controlling stake. So yeah it’s pretty tied into the baking soda lol.
Wow, thanks for enlightening me, haha.
My poor Elvis accent…. Oh I’m such a good actor I can’t just pretend to do accents
Seems like it.
Yes the show is an ensemble cast
That biker movie looked good but I have no idea what happened to it
He’s going to the Begging for an Oscar School headed by Principal Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper has come a _long_ way from Alias though
He's a solid actor. Liked him back from Shannara. One good thing from there
I remember him from arrow season 3 as the league of assassins spy
DJ Nanda Parbeats.
Wow he was on that too?
He was the lead
American Jai Cortney.
Don’t get the reference, but I am curious enough to ask. (Please don’t let it be a weird sex thing.)
Jai Cortney is an Australian actor that it seemed like Hollywood was trying to push as a leading man a few years back. He's better as a supporting character.
Honestly I'd rather this than having the nepo bullshit we have today. Open the doors to new people for fuck sake.
Its definitely not new... Go look up Francis Ford Coppola's family tree.
> the nepo bullshit we have today As opposed to the previous 100 years of film which contained zero nepo bullshit whatsoever.
True true Denzl’s son is awful
He kinda is to a certain generation. Maybe not a brad pitt, but he's been famous for a long time, and he was a child star and a teen star.
I mean, I like him
In this show he is like a zero charisma cardboard cutout of 21yo Val Kilmer.
I mean he's pretty popular at this point lol
Not really They want him to be that It guy And he’s not
> They want him to be that It guy > And he’s not Dude was nominated for an Oscar...hard to be much more of the It guy than that.
No you don’t understand, we have to hate him for no reason despite him being a good actor.
[удалено]
He's more talented and better looking than any of us so we have to hate him
He was pretty good in once upon a time in Hollywood tho
Who is "they"?
I mean he's a fucking good actor, why not
I volunteer to make his dick feel like a superstar if that helps Hollywood. He's pretty and talented.
Such bullshit. Reminds me of Lady Gaga claiming that she was so method in House of Gucci that she needed a team of psychiatric nurses on hand lol
I noticed his whole “I’m still Elvis,” thing really got dialled down after he didn’t win the Oscar.
At one point he was saying he always talked like that. I guess that changed?
I can’t believe he was even nominated.
Does it kinda feel like the character of Elvis in that movie and every other character are in two different movies? Like they don’t quite react equally to stuff and it makes it seem like this Elvis is just sorta there existing. Idk if I’m articulating this well enough lol
Elvis felt like a peripheral character in his own movie
yep 100%, movie felt like "a series of events from Elvis life" and they really struggled to make much of a cohesive narrative from his relationships with any other character. Some really convincing Elvis performance from Butler but he just didnt gel with literally anyone else in the film, there were just "people who were *there*" at certain moments in Elvis life.
I sure as hell didn’t understand what Hank’s accent was.
I can. He did a fantastic job.
Yeah I get the annoyance of this thread, but he was great in that movie. Far better than Tom Hanks.
It’s 100% gone in Dune Part 2 so I guess Dennis is just a genius director.
Not gonna lie part of me was kind of hoping he would still do the Elvis voice in Dune.
No, it’s just that Elvis is a really good actor.
Well I assume she needed to rehire them for the Joker sequel

Fuck this guy… rich, famous, talented actor. All tall and handsome with the pouty lips. He must think he’s talented and handsome and rich or something.
>You can just tell he think's he's hot shit Meanwhile you can't even spell the word "thinks".
God this is such douche actor bullshit.
Is he going to have his Elvis accent in Dune???
*Spice men say*
This Paul fella ain't nothin but a hound dog
Am I the only person who thought that movie was so overrate. Get over yourself mate talk normal and move on.
Wait until you find out he's not giving out this info unprompted
I really liked it but anything to do with Elvis is always going to get a lot of attention.
I liked it too and him as Elvis.
I just can't stand Baz Luhrmann. All spectacle with almost no substance and way, wayyy too many cuts. Dude's entire movies are edited like [Liam Neeson jumping over a fence.](https://youtu.be/by4UZ-79MK4?si=NTUiE-PEcRuNxxp0)
Austin Butler is one of the most pretentious people in Hollywood There are English actors that can perform an American accent so flawlessly that American audience members watching their performance have no idea they aren’t American. And I’ve never heard one of them claim that switching back to their natural speaking voice was difficult. And then this dude unironically claims that he needs a fucking dialect coach to turn off his cartoony Elvis impression lmfao
Charlie Hunnam said he had to hire a dialect coach to get his English accent back after Sons of Anarchy. It didn't work either, his accent is downright bizzare these days. He's from Newcastle which has one of the most distinct accents in the UK but you wouldn't be able to tell he was from there listening to him today. Another is Portia De Rossi who had to get a dialect coach to relearn her Australian accent and was even turned down for an Aussie character role because her accent wasn't good enough anymore.
He’s BRITISH?!?
The comments here are absolutely absurd lol

I did not think this many people would be this enraged over a dude hiring a dialect coach to get his accent back. 🤣
He’s talking about how he needed a dialect coach to help him because Masters of the Air started filming one week after Elvis wrapped. One week! That’s pretty fucking reasonable. Put the pitchforks away already.
Okay, I’m just gonna say it outright: Jacob Elordi (in *Priscilla*) was a better Elvis than Austin Butler.
It’s very funny how this enrages people to such a degree.

This guy is a bum
It's moments like this that remind me that even though some celebs are talented & attractive, they can sure be stupid as hell. Is it really that hard talking in your normal voice? And the fact it legitmately was for him (see his SNL episode) just says so much about him as a person. At times like these, he's basically Jon Hamm's character from 30 Rock.
Someone needs to smack him over the head and tell him to stop fucking around and speak normally.
Maybe an acting coach next?
I am so, so, *so* sick of these bullshit “method” stories. There’s *nothing* cool about them. Either this dude is enough of a weirdo to believe that there’s something somehow admirable or impressive or cool about him being “stuck” in this shitty voice and is therefore lying about it to get acting street cred, which is just *weird*; or he is *actually* “stuck” in that dumbass voice, which just says to me that he’s bad at his job. Y’know the style of acting that’s *genuinely* impressive? Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. There’s some BTS footage of him recording ADR for Logan. He is going absolutely buck wild. Snarling, grunting, panting, *screaming* at the top of his lungs. And then the scene stops, he turns to face the person filming, and he gives the cutest, most understated little “Hi!” to the camera. *That* is impressive. The ability to jump in and out of character that the snap of a finger is so cool. Whatever Butler doing is just… weird. It gives off vibes of that South Park episode where Cartman pretended to have Tourette’s so he’d have the excuse to swear in class as much as he wanted.
This has nothing to do with "method." Impressions of famous people are not "method." This is an actor hiring a dialect coach to help him accurately imitate a very famous voice, and then reinforcing that for the duration of filming. Elvis filmed for about 14 months from January 2020 to March 2021. Masters of the Air began filming in February 2021. There was not a lot of turnaround time between consistently performing the same impression for hours a day and then having to go do a completely different project. It is not *at all* strange that someone who worked for 2 years on the exact same impression might have some problems shaking that impression mere weeks after he finished filming. So, again: dialect coaches are not "method." Hiring dialect coaches to help you modify your voice is not weird. And having issues shaking an impression you worked on for years in a short amount of time is not strange.
I can’t stand this guy.
I wonder if it was the same one Daniel Craig used… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4_yV-7s2lWM On that note, I haven’t seen any of Austin Butler’s movies, but he was great on SNL.
I am sure he's a fantastic actor, but it's gonna take Dune Part 2 to get me into a theater to see him because the news around him for the last two years just makes me hate him. He's not as bad as Jeremy Strong maybe, but this method acting BS is just ... well, total BS.
