Everyone is saying the same thing about Austin Butler after the 2023 Golden Globes.
The Elvis star picked up the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama on Tuesday night.
In his acceptance speech, the 31-year-old said: “Oh man, all my words are leaving me. I just am so grateful right now. I’m in this room full of my heroes. Brad [Pitt], I love you. Quentin [Tarantino], I printed out the ‘Pulp Fiction’ script when I was 12. I cannot believe I’m here right now.”

Austin went on to thank Elvis Presley’s wife and daughter, who attended the awards show with him.
He said: “The Presley family, thank you guys for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me. Lisa Marie and Priscilla, I love you forever.”
The actor also thanked his own family, including his late “mama” – who sadly died in 2014 after a battle with cancer.
Following his speech, fans took to Twitter to point out how Austin is still speaking with his Elvis-inspired Memphis drawl.
One viewer tweeted: “austin butler still talking in that god damn Elvis voice…”
Another wrote: “Have we checked on the hypnotist that’s holding Austin Butler in a perpetual Elvis voice trance?”
A third penned: “it would’ve been hilarious if austin butler switched off the elvis voice mid-acceptance speech for the award.”

Speaking backstage at the awards show, Austin was asked about why he still speaks like the King of Rock and Roll.
He said: “I don’t think I sound like him still but I guess I must because I hear it a lot.”
“I had three years where that was my only focus, so I’m sure there’s pieces of him in my DNA and I’ll always be linked.”
Austin Butler responds to those that say they still hear traces of Elvis' accent in his speaking voice:
