He’s already won a Golden Globe and is tipped for BAFTAs glory ahead of tonight’s event, as well as Oscars success, but for Elvis actor Austin Butler, this critical acclaim is tinged with great sadness.
Just two days after Austin scooped the Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic, the legendary singer’s beloved daughter, Lisa Marie, unexpectedly passed away from a cardiac arrest aged 54.
Austin, 31, who was pictured arm-in-arm with her at the awards ceremony, admits he was "shattered" by the news. "It’s been a roller-coaster lately – a lot of peaks and these deep valleys of sorrow," he said shortly after learning of his Oscar nomination.
