Q&A: Oscar nominee AustinButler on what ElvisMovie taught him about fear
The 31-year-old breakout star of Baz Luhrmann's flamboyant biopic even had to be defended by fellow Oscar nominee Angela Bassett, who's explained that she, too, had a hard time shaking the Tina Turner vibe after playing her back in 1993.
The challenge of playing an icon who's been imitated as often as Presley was so great, he says, that he suffered from"impostor syndrome" and could have been felled by the fear -- fear that kept him from sleeping well for two years, he adds -- had he not learned to use it as a"compass," in his words. Now, he says, he asks himself:"What am I terrified of today?" And then he tries to step toward it, rather than away.
Q: It's been an emotional time for you: Winning a Golden Globe, then the tragic death of Lisa Marie Presley, then the Oscar nomination, all within days. Can you describe that journey? Q: Let's talk about the challenges of the role itself. You had to find a way to avoid mimicking a much-mimicked icon, and to bring humanity and authenticity to it. Can you put into words how you managed that?
