In a Sunday Sitdown, Butler credited his mother, Lori, who died in 2014, for helping him get into acting. “She sacrificed so much,” he told Willie Geist.
Butler took home a Golden Globe in January for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in the 2022 biopic “Elvis,” and now he’s up for a best actor Academy Award for the same role in the Baz Luhrmann-directed film.
“She sacrificed so much,” he said. “She quit her job to drive me to auditions, and drive me to acting class. And she’d wait outside and then drive all the way back down to Orange County. with The Hollywood Reporter, Butler noted that his mom was the one who got him into acting and because of her, he “started falling in love with the craft."
"After my mom passed away, I’d never experienced pain like that before, and I started to question. Suddenly I was around doctors and people that were hurting a lot in hospitals, and I thought, ‘Is acting a noble profession? Should I be doing this or should I give myself in some way that can help people who are dealing with cancer or something like that?’" he said.
