Austin Butler is glorious, he’s calm and elegant. Such a gentleman. First class!!

Austin Butler did not imitate Elvis at all, he absolutely reincarnated him, and still somehow managed to put his own style on it too... he was phenomenal! I'm not an Elvis fan but I actually cried I was so moved.

[svds_studio]

Damn what a storyteller - no one interrupted him. I feel like it never happens on a talk show like this.

[Cloclo]

I haven't been so fascinated by an actor in a LONG time. His perfomance in Elvis has been on my mind for an entire week. I had no idea he had such a shy demeanor in real life! So humble and sweet.

[soloinmanila]

Austin Butler is just so dreamy. I smile like an idiot when he's on screen. But what's more amazing is he just seems like such an authentic genuine well-meaning human. He is nothing like the other celebrities of this day and age. Just so mesmerizing!

[tracyhutchins]

I didn't know much about Austin Butler, but I went to see Elvis last night and his performance blew me away!! What a great storyteller and humble nature... you can tell he is a good and genuine person. He is the whole package!!

[loveforeignaccents]

The way Austin relays a conversation he had is so captivating... just pulls you in, like you don't want to miss a word of what he is saying.

[ScarlettJ]

Austin Butler has been underrated to me for a while, I'm glad that he's getting the recognition he deserves

Jeff's attentiveness during Austin's story is what is meant by being "present". ❤️

[darkknightwithanidea]

[susanerickson]

Austin will get a Best Actor Oscar nomination for “Elvis”, I’m 1000% convinced. An absolutely monumental performance!

[neoreoscar]

Good Lord, the charisma from those two on that sofa! Jeff is a legend, but Austin could read the telephone directory and still be utterly captivating. I’m mesmerised when he talks. He has something special going on.

[abbybuttonn]

Austin is so extremely humble and insanely attractive. I'm so excited to see what more he has to offer in the future <3

[judypasqualone]

I am bowled over by the personality, kindness and talent of this well spoken young man. I could listen to him talk all day. I seek out his appearances on talk shows. This young man will go so far. And I’d bet on an Oscar for Elvis. I love his love for his father and his memories of his mother. And I’ve always been a huge Jeff Goldblum fan. What a show to see these two together. ❤️❤️😘😘

[verad]

God bless the parents who made him. So humble, classy.his laugh. He knows he's got it but is so damn down to earth. Congrats Austin. Your career is going to boom.

[mariemilligan]

Brilliant to hear the story of Sir Paul meeting Elvis, and Austin meeting Paul. Austin seems to be a really captivating storyteller and humble guy whenever he’s interviewed.

[JayASMRt]

8:16 He's so humble about it. His reaction shows exactly how he's feeling. I admire his dedication to the role and actually how much respect he has for the artist. I'm so glad Elvis' family liked it

[MaryHJacko]

Austin Butler is a true gentleman with all the mannerisms of someone who was raised to be respectful to anyone he comes in contact with. He has many qualities of ELVIS and he was the perfect choice to play the beloved “King of Rock ‘n Roll”. Thank you Austin. The Oscar belongs to you❤️

If I got Voice of Austin, I would never stop talking.
