Austin Butler’s cos-tar Dave Bautista says the Elvis accent isn’t in ‘Dune’ sequel

No need to be all shaken up about Austin Butler’s continuing
to sound like Elvis Presley.

According to Dave Bautista, who costars with Butler in the
forthcoming “Dune” sequel, Butler’s Elvis accent is not a part of their new
movie.

“I don’t know who this guy was, but it’s not Austin Butler.
It’s not Elvis,” Bautista told USA Today of Butler’s character in the
film. “His voice is different, his look is different. Everything about his
demeanour is terrifying.”

Bautista also called the new Oscar nominee “just the
sweetest guy you’ll ever meet.”

Butler has been a bit of an awards season darling, while
people have observed the actor continues to sound like the legendary singer in
interviews after starring in Baz Luhrmann’s film, “Elvis”

After winning that award the actor said in the press room,
“I don’t think I sound like him still.”

“But I guess I must because I hear it a lot,” Butler
said. “I often liken it to when somebody lives in another country for a
long time. I had three years where that was my only focus in life, so I’m sure there are just pieces of my DNA that will always be linked to him.”
