Austin Butler‘s still sounding like Elvis Presley two years after the movie’s release, and it’s just a part of him now … so says supermodel Cindy Crawford.
Cindy — whose daughter Kaia Gerber is in a relationship with the Golden Globe winner — talked about Butler’s learned Southern Twang during Wednesday night’s “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” … saying she had no idea the dude was from Anaheim!
Cindy says she thinks Austin spent so long mimicking Elvis, he absorbed the accent … and, now it’s just a part of him.
It’s not weird for her though, Crawford adds … ’cause she didn’t know AB before he took the role — so, that’s just who Austin is to her.
We told you all about Butler’s lingering accent back in 2023 … when his speech at the Golden Globes drew ire from people online — slamming him for supposedly putting on a fake accent.
He defended himself during an interview on “The Graham Norton Show” … saying people’s comments made him self-conscious, but assuring everyone he wasn’t faking it for attention.
His vocal coach later came out and called his accent “genuine” … and may have the folksy twang for the rest of his life.
Seems like his vocal coach was on to something … but, his possible future mother-in-law clearly doesn’t mind.
