Austin Butler went to extreme lengths to get into character for Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and admitted he didn't see his family for three years because of his starring role.
The 31-year-old actor had around a year and a half to prepare before they started filming the biopic and said Elvis Presley was the "only thing" he ever thought about.
When he eventually did speak to his family, Austin said he couldn't shake off Elvis’s southern drawl and revealed he had lost touch with his own personality as he became engrossed in becoming the King of Rock and Roll.
