By now, you’ve seen Austin Butler on his press tour for Elvis.
“During #Elvis, I didn’t see my family for about three years,” Austin Butler tells Janelle Monáe. “I had months where I wouldn’t talk to anybody, and when I did, the only thing I was ever thinking about was Elvis.” https://t.co/wNhSd0YD6e

Everyone always jokes about how he really diiiiigs deep into the whole method acting thing and even morphed his voice into Elvis’s deep tone.
Well, the 31-year-old actor hosted Saturday Night Live last night, where he addressed the running joke about his voice changing into Elvis’s.
“There’s people out there who say that ever since I played Elvis, my voice has changed — that it got deeper, more Elvis-y,” Austin said.
“But that’s not true. I’ve always sounded like this, and I can prove it. Here’s a clip from an interview I did 10 years ago,” he said, before an old interview of him on a red carpet started playing.
In the clip, his voice is pitched wayyyyyy up, like chipmunk-y. It was a funny way to address the accusations that his voice changed.
Still, in conclusion, Austin’s voice has changed, and he thinks he’s Elvis. Sorry, but it’s true.
