Product Information

Love is in the air for model Kaia Gerber and Elvis actor Austin Butler. The duo made things red carpet official when they posed for pics at the 2022 Met Gala, though they had initially dodged dating rumors after they were first spotted together in late December 2021. News of the budding romance began one month after Kaia ended things with her ex-boyfriend, Jacob Elordi, while Austin Butler broke up with his girlfriend of nine years, Vanessa Hudgens, in January 2020. I wanted to feel what he was feeling, and he wasn’t looking at himself. He was looking at Little Richard. He was looking at Howlin’ Wolf and Big Mama Thornton and all those incredible artists down on Beale Street,” Butler said. “You’ll see a move that Little Richard does and you go, ‘That’s how Elvis moved. Is that where he got that?’ Elvis was kind of a magpie where he pulled things from a lot of different places.” ‘She loved him so much’ Kaia and Austin are red carpet official. The duo attended W Magazine's Best Performances in Los Angeles, where they were photographed together in pics obtained by JustJared. W Magazine even shared a cute pic of Austin kissing Kaia's cheek.

That was the test that I saw in front of me: How do you take Elvis ... and find out who he really was as a man? With ‘Elvis,’ I definitely had an existential crisis when I finished. I didn’t do anything that was grounded in Austin for that time. I didn’t talk to my family or my friends or anybody,” Butler told IndieWire. “I would talk to them every couple months or something, but I really did lose touch with me. But I also learned things about myself — that’s a beautiful gift. It’s a confusing part about being an actor.”It was after leaving “The Shannara Chronicles” that Butler starred in “The Iceman Cometh” on Broadway, leading him to connect with co-star Denzel Washington and the Academy Award winner suggesting Butler to lead Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.” Sorry, Austin and Kaia shippers. New reports that the Elvis star popped the question that are reportedly untrue. A source close to the couple reportedly told TMZthat the couple is not engaged despite online reports of a potential engagement. Everyone has some notion of who Elvis was, “but what gets lost is that the guy is just a guy — it’s the humanity of him,” Luhrmann said. “My number one mission was to humanize him. And that might have been my mission, but Austin Butler was the one that flew the plane. ... It was probably the hardest thing. This is the most impersonated man on the planet. But the humanity, Austin had from the get-go.”

Butler appeared alongside Selena Gomez, Adam Driver, and Bill Murray in Jim Jarmusch’s existential zombie comedy “The Dead Don’t Die.” By July, after undergoing months of Elvis workshops — and an unsolicited call from Broadway co-star Washington, who told Luhrmann, “You’re in for a surprise when you see the work ethic of this young man,” said the director — Butler had beaten out the likes of Miles Teller and Harry Styles for the role. Then the work of finding and translating Presley’s heart and soul began.Adapted from Danny Lyon’s book, “The Bikeriders” follows the rise and fall of a fictional 1960s motorcycle club in the Midwest. Michael Shannon, Mike Faist and Norman Reedus round out the ensemble. At some point in the future, Butler would like to move behind the camera and make movies like Tarantino, Luhrmann and Paul Thomas Anderson, writer-directors he admires. “I love filmmaking,” he said. “I don’t know what else I would do with my life. I’m not ready yet, but there will come a day.”
