Austin Butler shares a deeply moving tribute to Lisa Marie Presley
Austin Butler, who wowed the audience at Baz Luhrmann’s elvisWith this he pays homage to what is perhaps his biggest fan in the last three years of his life: Lisa Marie Presley. In a moving tribute to rock and roll legend Elvis Presley’s daughter, Butler says he’s devastated at the news of her loss.
Butler shares a statement with People, saying Butler feels lucky to have been able to spend time with Lisa Marie and appreciates the grace she shared with him.
“I am infinitely grateful for the times I was fortunate enough to be near her bright light and will forever cherish the quiet moments we shared. Her warmth, her love and her authenticity will always be remembered.”
Butler opened his heart to the Presley family and cradled them with the care you would give to the most important people in your life. To protect her from negativity and pain that would dare to reach and touch her. When Butler transformed into Elvis, he became close to those who had to pick up the pieces after his death. No one’s opinion or love meant more to him on this journey than those who knew Elvis personally.
When Baz Luhrmann decided to tell the incredibly multifaceted story of Elvis through his own lens, no one was more important to the journey than those who knew him at a fundamental level. Lisa Marie and her mother, Priscilla, were two of the key contacts, and with good reason. On several occasions, Lisa Marie and Priscilla praised Luhrmann, Butler, Tom Hanks and everyone involved in creating this particular version of the larger-than-life story.
During the 2023 Golden Globes, Butler won Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his portrayal of Elvis, and Lisa Marie and Priscilla were in attendance. As Butler screamed his love and admiration at them, one could see how touched both women were. They loved Butler for himself and for what he gave back to them after so many years: a glimpse of the man they saw as more than just a legend – the man they both loved most in this world.
Butler knew what an honor it was to bring this story to life. He also recognized what a privilege it was to get to know the Presley family so intimately and to be a part of everything from their joy and love to their devastating heartache.
It’s clear that Butler feels a measure of honor and pain at the loss of Lisa Marie; We also hope he recognizes the gift he was able to give to the Presley family before their deaths. We send our condolences and prayers to Lisa’s loved ones, everyone who knew her and to Austin and the cast of elviswho grew so close to the family throughout the film.
