Austin Butler, the actor who played Elvis Presley in the biopic “Elvis,” recently made headlines after revealing that he had to visit the emergency room following the end of filming.
In an interview with People during the People & Entertainment Weekly Red Carpet Live SAG Awards 2023 preshow on Feb. 26, he called playing the late King of Rock ‘n Roll was “the greatest ride of my life.”
However, Butler also recounted how he started experiencing severe chest pains the day after filming wrapped and immediately went to the hospital.
“My body just started shutting down the day after I finished Elvis,” he said.
The actor said he spent months studying Elvis’s life, learning to play the guitar, and working with a vocal coach to master the King’s singing style.
He also revealed that he had gone through extensive physical training to build the strength and stamina necessary for the role.
Is he just being a drama queen? Or, did his body ACTUALLY start shutting down?
And was the COVID vaccine required for everyone on the set?
