The “Elvis” star revealed that his body started “shutting down” and he was in “excruciating pain” after he wrapped the Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic.
Despite his health struggles, he said that working on the movie was “the greatest ride of [his] life.”“I am getting rid of the accent, but I have probably damaged my vocal cords with all that singing,” he said on Britain’s “The Graham Norton Show” at the time, adding, “One song took 40 takes!”
Butler didn’t just take the “Hound Dog” singer’s voice into consideration while preparing for his role. He also formed a close bond with the late legend’s ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, and their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. Butler was trolled when he spoke in his Elvis Presley accent during his 2023 Golden Globes acceptance speech.Last month, both Priscilla and Lisa Marie accompanied Butler to the Golden Globes to show their support for him and they both looked teary-eyed when he accepted his award.Butler said he is now working to get “rid of” his Elvis accent.
