'Elvis' director Baz Luhrmann shares the 'sense of relief' Lisa Marie Presley felt after Austin Butler won a Golden Globe for portraying her father.
"It was mind-blowing. Truly mind-blowing," Lisa Marie said of Butler's performance in the film."I really didn’t know what to do with myself after I saw it. I had to take, like, five days to process it because it was so incredible and so spot on and just so authentic that, yeah, I can't even describe what it meant."
Earlier this week, Luhrmann shared with ET that Priscilla Presley was initially skeptical about Butler portraying her ex-husband, despite the fact that Butler had fully committed to learning The King's songs, mannerisms, and, of course, "[Priscilla] was quite cynical about how this young kid could, in fact, manifest her husband," he shared, noting that the family has had their share of"disappointments" when it comes to portrayals of Elvis onscreen.
Butler is now up for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Following his Oscar nomination, the 31-year-old actor"[This role] seemed as though it was this impossible mountain to climb in front of me. There were so many pitfalls and so I just was focusing on one step at a time," Butler . "And that’s why those moments when Lisa Marie and Priscilla [Presley] got to see the film and then I first saw them after… nothing I would do would ever top that.
