  Music is a hobby many enjoy but is not always agreed upon by different generations. However, once in a while, an artist comes along that spans not only genres but personal tastes while standing the test of time. Elvis Presley was one of those remarkable artists, making an impact on multiple genres, starring in movies, and even serving in the military. He became beloved by millions, but his career and life were cut short by a heart attack at age 42. Check out these ten intriguing facts about this music legend.   1. Elvis Presley Dyed His Hair Young, blonde Elvis in the 1940s. Source: Showbiz Cheat Sheet   Elvis’ jet-black pompadour was world-famous. However, it was partly an illusion.

However, as a young …

Timothée Chalamet Wants Austin Butler’s Elvis In His Dylan Biopic

Timothée Chalamet thinks his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic could benefit from a dash of Austin Butler as Elvis Presley. The star of Call Me By Your Name will play Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, and floated the idea of an Elvis cameo after he and Austin were asked about their roles as rock icons in a new interview with NME. Admitting he had already been picking his Dune co-star’s “brain non-stop” as he prepped for the part of Bob Dylan, Timothée told NME that Austin’s award-winning 2022 turn as Elvis in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic was “phenomenal”. “Let’s let my film come out before I’m so lucky as to get included with Austin,” Timothée said of the comparison. A release date hasn’t been set yet for A Complete Unknown, which is directed by James Mangold. Talking about the connection between the artists, the Wonka star said: “I can’t speak from Elvis’ perspective, but deep in the Bob Dylan lore now, he had tremendous respect for Elvis and Sun Records.” Austin Butler and Timothee Chalamet in …

Austin Butler Took Measures To Get Rid Of His Viral Elvis Voice

Published by skeptic

Austin Butler is coming clean about speaking like Elvis Presley long after he actually had to. On Wednesday’s episode of The Late Show, the actor said that he needed professional help to stop talking like the King following his Oscar-nominated performance in 2022′s Elvis. “I had a dialect coach just to help me not sound like Elvis in that film,” he said after curiously retaining the singer’s manner of speaking for months. Austin’s new-found voice first came to widespread attention when he accepted a Golden Globe for his performance in January 2023. Many fans suspected that he was doing it on purpose, which his vocal coach publicly denied. “It’s genuine, it’s not put on,” the coach, Irene Bartlett, said in an ABC Gold Coast interview at the time, noting that it’s “difficult to switch off something you’ve spent so much focus time on”. But Austin’s speech went viral nonetheless, with even his ex Vanessa Hudgens finding herself “crying” in laughter from memes about the voice. Austin said last year that although he didn’t think he …

Austin Butler revealed that he only had a week between filming Elvis and Masters of the Air, which means he had to work extra hard to drop his Elvis Presley accent. During a Wednesday night appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the Oscar-nominated actor said he “had a dialect coach just to help me not sound like Elvis.” Butler explained that he faced some challenges once filming wrapped for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis because he dedicated three years of his life to portraying the King of Rock and Roll. Once the film was complete, the actor admitted he struggled trying to rediscover himself. “I was just trying to remember who I was,” the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor said. “I was trying to remember what I liked to do. All I thought about was Elvis for three years. And then I had that week off, and then I flew to London, and at that time it was COVID, so I was quarantined for 10 days. I thought, ‘Alright, just pour all this …
