Austin Butler choked up as he collected the Best Actor award at the BAFTAs tonight.
The Elvis star teared up as he said he hoped he made all the Presleys proud with his portrayal as he collected the award at the BAFTAs ceremony in Southbank, London this evening. He thanked a string of people involved in the film including director Baz Luhrmann before going on to thank his own family and the Presley family.
His win comes just a few weeks after the tragic passing of Lisa Marie Presley, who Austin had grown close to alongside the whole family during his time portraying The King in the hit movie.
