Butler said he “owes” his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens for encouraging him to take on the role of Elvis. “We’d been together for so long and she had this sort of clairvoyant moment and so I really, I owe her a lot for believing in me.'
, Butler told the story of how he became Presley, telling the other actors, “I was going to look at Christmas lights with a friend,” he said. “And there was an Elvis Christmas song on the radio, and I was with a friend of mine and I was singing along, and my friend kinda looked over at me and goes, ‘You’ve gotta play Elvis!’”
“And I said, ‘Oh, that’s such a long shot,’” he continued, adding that a couple weeks later he was playing the piano and “that same friend was there... and she said, ‘I’m serious, you got to figure out how you can get the rights to a script and write something and do Elvis’ life...”Hudgens told the same story in August 2019, when they were still together.
“It’s so crazy, because last December, we were driving along and we were listening to Christmas music, and an Elvis Presley Christmas song came on,” Hudgens said onHe had just dyed his hair dark — he’s a natural blonde — and I was looking at him and he was singing along and I was like, ‘Babe, you need to play Elvis. I don’t know how, but I’m serious. You need to play him.’”
She also recalled him playing at the piano and telling him, “I don’t know how, but we need to figure out how you can play Elvis.” Butler, meanwhile, is currently dating model Kaia Gerber, while Hudgens is in a relationship with MLB player Cole Tucker.
