“Saturday Night Live’s” final show of the season started on a sweet note, as host Austin Butler tenderly recalled watching the late night comedy show with his late mother. “…
“I love my mom, some of my favorite memories from growing up was watching ‘’ every week,” and even though he had this “crippling shyness,” he would do anything to make her laugh — including an imitation of Gollum from “Lord of the Rings.”
Being silly with her, he said, is “what broke me out of my shell” and inspired his drive to be an actor. Butler, who got his start as a child actor on both Nickelodeon and Disney Channel shows, played Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s hit biopic, “Elvis.” “Now, my mother is no longer with us, but I have been thinking about her a lot this week, just imagining of how proud she would be that her son is now standing on this stage,” Butler said, choking up.Butler also joked that he grew up in Anaheim, California, hence “the Southern accent” and said that he always sounded like Elvis Presley.
““I do want to address something. There’s people out there who say that ever since I’ve played Elvis my voice has changed — that it got deeper, more Elvis-y,” he 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.”“We’ve stopped testing,” he said.
Butler also said that despite last year’s holiday show nearly being canceled due to COVID, the show developed a foolproof plan to ensure that doesn’t happen again.
