So\u2026 what\u2019s going on??<\/p>\n<p>Austin recently sat down with <em>Elle<\/em> to discuss his upcoming portrayal of the King of Rock and Roll, and admitted the famous accent has been difficult to shake! He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI didn\u2019t do anything else for two years, that\u2019s such a large chunk of life. I\u2019m not surprised that it clicks in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Two years of speaking in Elvis\u2019 signature Southern accent is surely more than enough to cause a lasting effect for a California native!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Wait, Austin Butler Was HOSPITALIZED After Filming <em>Elvis<\/em>?!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old actor explained that he felt immense \u201cresponsibility\u201d and \u201cterror\u201d throughout the entire movie making process which has in turn conditioned him to activate accent mode upon certain \u201ctriggers.\u201d Austin elaborated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBecause I\u2019m a shy person, and when I know that there\u2019s bits of Elvis that I\u2019d have to click into in order to go out on stage and be in front of a ton of people, being surrounded by his name everywhere, there\u2019s triggers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sheesh, that\u2019s some major pressure for the self-proclaimed \u201cshy person\u201d! He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou spend so much time obsessing about one thing, and it really is like muscular habits, your mouth can change. It\u2019s pretty amazing. I know that I\u2019m constantly changing. Check in with me in 20 years when I\u2019ve played a lot of roles, who knows what I\u2019ll sound like!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It sure seems like the rising star has high expectations for his career! This is easily the biggest part he\u2019s ever gotten, and he\u2019s getting nothing but acclaim so far\u2026 even among critics who don\u2019t think the movie is at his level!<\/p>\n<p>But as for now, it seems like part of Austin\u2019s difficulty purging the accent may also have something to do with the personal connection he feels to the late rock and roll legend, explaining to <em>GQ<\/em> recently that like Elvis, he also lost his mother at a young age:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHis mother passed away when he was 23, and my mom passed away when I was 23, so when I learned that, it was one of those things where I got chills, and I just thought, okay, I can connect to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What an inneresting coincidence \u2014 it\u2019s almost like Austin was MEANT to play the role of Elvis!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Bradley Cooper Opens Up About His Cocaine Addiction In His 20s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s comforting to me now, when I get in the car. I\u2019ll just go, \u2018What do I want to listen to?\u2019 Usually I just end up popping on Elvis, I\u2019ve never loved somebody I\u2019ve never met more than Elvis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He\u2019s still listening to him?? No wonder the accent won\u2019t go away!<\/p>\n<p>Austin\u2019s adoration may have gone a step too far and could be the culprit for the lasting impression the accent has on him, as he explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou can lose touch with who you actually are. And I definitely had that when I finished Elvis \u2014 not knowing who I was.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It looks like the accent may be here to stay, at least for a while until Austin finds himself again, LOLz. We\u2019ll see if it\u2019s all been worth it when Baz Luhrmann\u2019s <em>Elvis<\/em> hits theaters on June 24!<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the Hollywood hunk\u2019s accent crisis, Perezcious readers?
