They really need to stop trying to make Austin happen. It’s not going to.Yes and I say the same about Timothy Chalomete or whatever his name is.

Esquire about Austins try to be the first movie star since Leo - the last movie star so far. Just posting because it's always nice to see that Leo is still... well... the goal every young actor is reaching for.
They Don't Make Them Like Austin Butler Anymore
After Elvis and the Oscar-nomination, the 32-year-old actor is back with two buzzy projects: Masters of the Air and Dune: Part Two. He's got a burning ambition and old-school Hollywood charm—and steely-eyed focus on just one thing.
He will take this world in inches. And then, as a man, through sheer force of desire and artistic abandon, he’ll try to become the first movie star since Leonardo DiCaprio became the last movie star.
Doubt him if you will. But don’t underestimate his chances.

The thing is, Butler wants to be a particular kind of star. Not just a celebrity. Not just an actor. And he doesn’t want to mess it up. Certainly not by sharing too much. Who he is, to some degree, is at odds with what he wants. That desire to probe and share is diametrically opposed, he says, “with the type of career that I want to have, which is to be able to step into all these different types of people. I think of the days of Paul Newman—we didn’t know a ton about his personal life.” It’s like that with a lot of the stars he admires. Leonardo DiCaprio. Christian Bale. Daniel Day-Lewis.
“Did we talk about the Lew Wasserman quote?” he asks me the second time we meet. We’re back at Margaux. Different booth. Different lunch order. Avocado toast with poached eggs on Monday; a grilled-chicken sandwich on Wednesday. Butler’s outfit is a perfect inversion of what he wore two days ago: a dark Henley beneath a white T-shirt. Anyway, back to the quote. “Near the end of Wasserman’s life,” Butler begins, referring to the onetime Tinseltown titan, “when speaking about a young actor, Wasserman said, ‘Only let them see him in a dark room.’ ”
(Funny enough, that quote once ran in these very pages, in Tom Junod’s 2013 profile of DiCaprio. During one passage, DiCaprio’s manager, Rick Yorn, recalls a run-in with Wasserman. “ ‘Lew was old and near the end by this time,’ Yorn says. ‘He died a year or two later. But he knew I was Leo’s manager, and he wanted to give me some advice. He said, “Only let them see him in a dark room.” It took me a minute to figure it out. But what he meant was only let people see him in the movie theater. That’s the dark room.’ ”)
(...)
The next Brad Pitt. The next Leonardo DiCaprio. How many young breakouts have been taunted by such titles just to dissolve into the background? Become that guy in that thing. The one who almost was.
The reality of right now is that whether there will ever be another Brad or Leo is not a question of talent but of the studio system itself. How many of the movies between those two men would even be released in theaters if they were made today? The Beach, The Basketball Diaries, Thelma & Louise—they’d be critically acclaimed streaming releases at best in 2024. Some would become TV shows.
(...)
It’s impossible to forecast the future of Hollywood. Will grown-up movies make a comeback? Will Movie Stars continue to exist?
But I’ll tell you what I do know: From the second that Austin Butler appears as the young-adult Elvis, moments before the first musical performance of the film, bristling with an intoxicating swirl of nerves, excitement, and untapped confidence; from the minute he, as Buck Cleven, leans in, desire written all over his face, a smile flirting with the corners of his mouth, and whispers, “A girl worth writing to is hard to find”—well, there’s no taking your eyes off him.
My personal opinion of Butler from interviews and the only movie I've seen him in which was Elvis is that he lacks a personality and most importantly talent but maybe that's just me. 😃

I'm heart broken for Gisele. She's been through so much. I think her parents were married for at least 50 years. Her poor father and the rest of the family.

Brazilians always admire G so much. (Of course not all but in general). I love how much they love Gi. I’ve never seen another model so iconic/loved in her country as Gi is in Brazil.
I'm Brazilian and I love her. 😅 I stopped following her for a bit because I couldn't stand her ex husband but I'm back on the train again.

It's really admirable how he's enjoying life undisguised no matter what 😄 I mean people can make fun of him as much as they want but this pure satisfaction of his life -and everything he has achieved so far- is something no one can take from him. For me he deserves every freakin happieness of this planet.
Same! It seems like Leo truly lives his best life. I suspect haters are just miserable with themselves.

For what it's worth another "pee break" advice via lainey.
Also, the film runs just under three and a half hours. There’s not really a good bathroom break point, because there isn’t a mindless action sequence you can miss without dropping anything important, but I would time a break, if you need one, between the two hour and two hour and twenty-minute mark. You don’t want to miss the last hour, for sure.
I'm surprised this sounds like positivity from her. 🤔

Ladies I'm watching the movie tomorrow. Where you able to make it through the movie with no bathroom breaks? I downloaded an app that's let's you know when you can take bathroom breaks during a movie. 😅

So cool
In germany the movie starts october 19th and I will watch it asap on october 19th but mostly we can buy tickets a week or maybe 2 earlier. Except the cinema is expecting very large crowds like for Twilight, Avatar or 50 Shades for example. I remember I bought my ticket for the 2nd Twilight movie 6 months (could be even a little more) before the release. Same for the 1rst 50 Shades movie. Crazy times lol
It felt like Christmas morning for me today. I'm expecting a good amount of tickets purchased. I'm lucky because this theater has leather reclining seats. I'm also not planning on drinking anything. 😅

Lol, too funny she judging you for being a fan when she is obsessed about the personal life of a person she probably doesn't even like...
I mean, it's normal for a fan to care about the person she follows for years and admires, but this people from internet obsessing over a famous man personal life just for the sake of HATING is just ridiculous, too funny they feel entitled to judge others. I don't care about any other famous person, Leo is the only celebrity I care about and I wouldn't waste a second of my time to judge someone I couldn't care less about. They should look at themselves, because they are a bunch of fools, and this is for all people in internet judging, hating and trying to cancel everyone for literally anything.
Seriously it's so pathetic. Leo is my favorite celebrity. Everyone related to me in real life knows this but throughout the years I've become less and less concerned over his personal life. The point I was trying to make there is one I live by: why should a grown adult be concerned about what others think of them. Live your best life and seek happiness. Apparently this thought process greatly offends people. 🤔

Omg, that place IS the worst... so they wanted to decide where you could post or not? Lol.
Yes can you believe it? 😅 she was also judging me for how long I've been a fan. All because I questioned her as to why she was so concerned with his personal life.
