The “Elvis” actor was trolled for giving his 2023 Golden Globes acceptance speech in an accent that resembled the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s southern twang.

That’s his real voice … thank you, thank you very much.dragged for still sounding like the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll“What you saw in that Golden Globes speech, that’s him. It’s genuine, it’s not put on,” Irene BartlettShe added, “I feel sorry people are saying that, you know, it’s still acting [but] he’s actually taken [the voice of Presley] on board.”

“Basically what I look for is what their natural singing voice is doing. I strip away all the effects someone is putting on, and I go, ‘What does this natural voice sound like?’ And what is working and what needs help in terms of enhancement, in terms of support, flexibility, stamina, all those things,” she said.

“So that fake Elvis accent is just Austin Butler’s voice now, huh #GoldenGlobes,” one viewer tweeted at the time.

There will be only one Elvis no matter how good you seem to be it is the genuine passion within the voice which would always separate the original from the pretenders, all I see is another self promoting publicity stunt, Hollywood at its lowest

what do you mean?

He could just try acting…

This always happens to male Method actor’s 🤔

that could be a problem for roles not named elvis

Bro got the arasaka soulkiller

🤣

i hate method actors

i experienced the same dynamic crisis after i spent a good amount of time in southern texas. it aint no thing

don't get high off your own supply of hype bro....

In third grade I studied bird calls. Ever since then, I’ve only been able to communicate using chirps and tweets.

Madonna been speaking British for a hot couple of decades. This ain’t shit.

*NEVER* watching this.

Ppl acting like he just came back home from his first year in The Army. He’s fuckin THIRTY years old FFS 💀

Cashing in! Impersonators Dream Fame!!!!!

historians will call it the austin accent

omg lol poor austin

Every 15-25 year old white kid after Borat came out for 6 years straight

Does this mean my gay voice can be fixed?

This could potentially cause harm for his acting career if he can't change his voice., which may limit the roles he gets in the future. Hopefully it doesn't happen like that. AustinButler Elvis

Dodoi da cabeça

Your tone, voice and pitch are all set after 18, especially he started the role after like 27/28. There’s 0 possibility you can alter your pitch and tone within 2 years of ‘method acting’. Stop this nonsense already

Denis directing him

It's essentially the same thing that happens when you talk in a certain accent for a long time. E.g Millie Bobby Brown has a mix between US / British accent because she's played an American character during some of her key development years (11-17).

He sounds closer now to the voice he did for Tex Watson than Elvis.

We dont uhh talk enough about Elvisication, baby.

Damn. It’s fatal

He needs to take a new role as an oompa loompa Accent changed

He's the only one who understands what his job is.

no

Now what i can say is that's not what miss voice coach said, please stop setting this man up istg.

RIP original accent 😢

twizzlerbouquet good news

Renee Zellweger learned how to speak almost like the Royal Family for her Bridget Jones role, after that she recovered her accent. Cut it out, Austin! 🤭

He got hit with the Johnny Depp raygun

Does anyone have a before/after to hear the differences?

If you have to permanently modify your speech for a role, you are simply not good at acting like someone else

g4ysis smh 😪

❤️❤️❤️ king

GroovyBruce Bubba Hotep Time Travel Adventure? 🤣

lmfao what he was great as Elvis though- maybe one of the top 30 performances of the year, sure. but relax

You're telling me Baz Luhrmann turned a Disney kid into an Elvis zombie? That checks out.

when will the terrorism end?

This dude is so locked into his character as Elvis that he might marry a minor.

Exact same thing happen to me with my Johnny Bravo accent, whoa momma! 😎😪

Just when you thought this dude couldn’t be more of a tool lmao

the living in Australia for 2 years is reason enough, movie aside.

Lmao hell yeah

He better use the Elvis voice while playing Feyd

that's dope

damn this mf really contracted the terminal disease called “faking an accent”…thoughts and prayers going out to him !!!!

Ah n

Feyd-Rautha about to sound much different to how I imagined

stop making fun of this. i studied abroad as elvis for a semester in college and i never lost my accent either

I hope he uses it as Feyd-Rautha

Jesus christ enough with this movie

Ok, I will say this, it's basically a result of him playing Elvis, and staying 2 yrs in Australia and 1 yr in London for another project, He was an expat for the last 3 yrs. The voice is a result of his life experience, it's unique to him.

teenycremz 🤢

Now THIS is an oscar campaign

He took method acting to the next level
