Austin Butlerstill sounds like Elvis Presley two years after the film’s release, and now it’s just a part of it… so says the supermodel Cindy Crawford.
Cindy — whose daughter Kaia Gerber is in a relationship with the Golden Globe winner — gushed about Butler’s erudite Southern accent during “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on Wednesday night… saying she had no idea the guy was from Anaheim!
Cindy says she thinks Austin spent so much time imitating Elvis that he absorbed the accent… and now it’s just part of him.
But it’s not weird to her, Crawford adds… because she didn’t know AB before he took on the role — so that’s just how Austin is to her.
We told you all about Butler’s persistent accent in 2023… when his Golden Globes speech drew ire from people online, who criticised him for allegedly using a fake accent.
He defended himself during an interview on “The Graham Norton Show” … saying that people’s comments made him uncomfortable, but assuring everyone that he wasn’t faking it for attention.
His vocal coach later said his accent was “genuine”… and that he may have that folk accent for the rest of his life.
Looks like your vocal coach was right… but your potential future mother-in-law clearly doesn’t care.
