Seeing Lisa Marie talk about how protective she is of Austin brought tears to my eyes. A mother who lost her son with a son who lost his mother…it’s a friendship that both of them need and I hope it’s healing for both of them to some degree. Plus the fact that Austin so accurately portrayed a father that Lisa lost when she was young. It’s a full-circle moment in many ways. Some friendships are just meant to be. I think theirs is such. ❤️❤️❤️
She really was never the same after her son committed suicide, and I think Austin filled that void. RIP Lisa Marie. Sending your Children and Mom prayers of comfort during this painful time.
Lisa Marie truly loved Austin. They bonded. I’m praying for Priscilla, and Lisa Marie’s children… but also Austin. I know he will never forget the words and praise from her. Austin gave her a gift, by finally doing her Dad justice. This is all heartbreaking. May Lisa Marie be in the warm loving arms of her Dad, and son. 🙏🏻💙
Thanks to Austin, she died a happy woman. He channelled her father in the movie, but channelled her son in real life. You can see there was a real love there x
I absolutely believe that Austin Butler got to the point where Elvis’ soul was able to intermingle with his own. He believes it, too, and has alluded to the same type of thing in various interviews. When Lisa saw Austin portray her father, it must have almost seemed as if she had her father back again. For a time, she was able to see him laughing and talking and moving in ways I think she almost forgot. What an incredible gift. And now, they’re together again. ❤❤
Man my heart goes out to Lisa Marie; she has been through sooo much....so glad that the movie was something that moved her ...Riley is such a sweetheart and such a talent...:)
@@joyoriana That's what striked me watching movie, how Elvis' end with personal doctor giving drugs mirrored what happened with Michael Jackson, and both touched Lisa Marie 😢
@@joyoriana Don't put jackson into the same sentence with the the other 2. the only men that were important in his life are elvis and ben whom she also misses, again not jackson.
@@Aurinkohelmi just because elvis and jackson were similar because they both died of drugs, does not mean the last one was important to her, he didn't touch her in anyway, she admitted the marriage was the biggest mistake of her life and she regretted.
You can see the bond between Austin and Lisa. It's amazing. He's playing her father and it's like Lisa and her father were reunited after all the years apart. When Elvis wondered if anyone would ever remember him. It's like he imbodied Austin and guided him into this role. It happened for Austin, Elvis' family, and the important message it brought to the world. Elvis brought so many people together all over the world. It's proof the world can be brought together in peace rather than wars.
2:18 such a strong woman despite her pain, she lived her last days seeing how much the world loved and celebrated Elvis (as well as how marvelously Austin Butler portrayed him) and I hope this somehow softened her pain, she deserved better and now she will reunite with her father and son and rest in peace ♥️
That’s what makes me feel a bit better about all this: she made it long enough to see Austin beat out all the other nominees. And that beautiful speech, how he ended with saying “Elvis you are remembered and I will never forget” … couldn’t have written that better. Like maybe something in her soul got resolved and she was able to be at peace when she went on. I like the thought of that
I feel for Lisa Marie. Can't help but to think that Austin might remind her of her son as well as her dad. How kind of her to openly support his performance. ❤️ I don't know if the family gets a cut of the movie income, doesn't matter to me. I may question some of Elvis' alleged treatment of the women in his life - I won't give any examples , the internet is full of information. . But he seemed to really love his baby girl, and if this movie makes Lisa Marie happy then for some reason it also makes me happy. 🥰
Me I'm in total shock. I'm so glad Austin said he loved them forever last night. It meant so much to Lisa. Maybe she finally relaxed knowing Austin won recognition for her dad. She could let go and find her boy in heaven.
No. She was not protective of MJ. She took every chance between 2003-2005 to throw him under the bus and create innuendo around Michael's innocence or guilt ( she put out negative shit knowing he was into women). Lisa Marie was embarking on her first album release; the one Michael Jackson refused to par take in during their publicity stunt. MJ fans called her ass out and began flooding her official website demanding she tell the truth and stop using every opportunity to bash him as she promoted her upcoming " going nowhere music career". She was a bitter woman in the end towards Michael Jackson. Don't rewrite history just because she is Elvis kid and is now dead. She has used her privilege and had the privilege card pulled enough during her lifetime. She was NOT protective of Michael Jackson. She wanted to see him hurt more.
@@heartstrings7814 you need to watch Lisa’s interview with Oprah after MJ died. I know MJ’s fan community had mixed feelings for her (I can say as i’m a hardcore MJ fan) but she was the only one who actually didnt sell out to press during his darkest days and said that she didnt see any drug abuse or child abuse around him. In the interview she also stated that she loved him dearly and somehow this realization has hit her hard after MJ passed away.
@@heartstrings7814 I will agree she did some shady stuff after they divorced finally (although they kept going back to each other even after the full divorce). I would say when things officially ended between them at the start of 2000 is when you saw her betraying him in the media more. Those interviews were rude as hell. Apparently he even called her during the 2nd trials and asked if she still loved him and she didn't say she did. But the reason I am OK with her now is because of that letter she put out the day after he died and that full interview she gave on Oprah in 2010 all about Michael. You can tell she felt guilty. You can tell she wish it had been different. And for that I have accepted her back in. RIP Sweet Lisa we miss you. May you fly high with Benjamin, Michael and Elvis.
just in that short clip wow lisa has lost so much in her life...lost her dad when she was young, lost her son at a young age you can tell she feel such a strong connection to Austin after this movie! its really heartwarming to see and to hear Riley say "you can't compare yourself to elvis" yes it would of being so hard for lisa to grow up in her dads shadow and to be compared and have people wonder if she was going to be like him! Elvis did say "its hard to live up to an image" ....an absolute compliment to Austin from the Presley family for this film its was awsome to see twice for me! if you really didnt know who Austin Butler was before you certainly do now!!
Yes, that´s exactly why Lisa waited until over 30 with her singing career and it´s sad she was still not given fair chance. Because she really is good singer-songwriter in her own right.
2:12 - 2:44 This part gives me chills. Something about the way she said 'i feel so protective over him' kinda reminds me of the love she had when she started dating Michael Jackson. Also you can tell Austin Butler is just soaking it all in. He loves that she loves the film. I love this genuine moment between them. RIP Sweet Lisa
Aaaw, What Lisa Marie had to say about Austin, and the review she gave him, for Austin to have portrayed Lisa Marie's late father, and for Austin to get a review for his portrayal By Elvis's Daughter, That's like a 10 gold ⭐s review!!.
Rip Lisa marie, someone mentioned that she was so humble and kind and she was, he could clearly say she was just like a regular person, she wasn’t some stuck up celebrity, she really appreciated everyone being there at Graceland to celebrate her father’s birthday, she just seem like a nice genuine person
It makes me sadden and cry when i found out Lisa Marie passing...but in a way i know she is so happy now to be with her father and her son in heaven.....I am glad Austin Butler gave her the love and happiness even just a short time.
Austin sure took her full circle. She was so very happy when he was with her. She felt over protective of him, he gave her a happiness she hasn't felt since she was a young girl. That will always make me respect Austin for that. I wonder how Austin is doing since Lisa Marie's death. He got very close to her as well. Feelings like that don't freeze just because the movie is over.
Awwww I like how she defends him coz she is Real. 2:03 was really a touching moment. He got her Approval, nothing matters if anyone else says anything bad.
I am certain that Elvis thinks of Austin as a long-lost son. Elvis is so proud of Austin because he truly took the time to honor his memory. Which is what all spirits want is to be remembered. Spirits show their love through lights. So he was telling you Austin that he was right there with you! Elvis is also protective of Austin because he truly respects the family and their wishes!
Wonderful interview. Wonderful warmth between Austin and Lisa Marie ❤ I'm so glad Austin got to hear her praise. He worked so hard. It's an amazing film.
I watched this a lot, months ago, after I saw the film and found it so sweet how she was with Austin. It brought tears of joy. Austin lost his mom, Lisa Marie lost her son and seems they found comfort with each other. No it made my cry tears of sadness... Rest Easy Lisa Marie
No, the other way around. I don't want to sound like I know anyone, but I feel she was beginning to smile more, accept the reality, finding a way to a little peace. She was always a shadow of her former self since Ben passed.
And now she's gone 😔 I'd like to believe she died a happy woman. I think her getting to see her father's story told in such an incredible and authentic way and striking up a close relationship with Austin; not long after losing her own son, was really good closure for her. I hope she is now with Elvis and Ben x
This is such a poignant interview. It’s so real and raw. I felt the same as Lisa Marie; I was expecting to be disappointed. But that movie just blew me away! The bar was so high for Austin and he met it and exceeded it. This movie was a gift for the Presley family. It deserves every award. ❤❤❤And Go Ashley!
When I told my sister-in-law that the "Elvis" movie wasn't what I expected, she thought I was going to say I didn't like it. But I said: "It was better. Better than I expected."
I am a huge Elvis fan, and when I first heard about the film, I also didn't have high hopes since most of the previous films about him were not very good. But I was pleasantly surprised after seeing it. Austin did an incredible job! Baz made a wonderful movie! This movie deserves awards. I can't wait to see how many the movie receives!!💗💗
Yet they gave the Oscar to the actor who portrayed Freddy Mercury, Rami Malek. His performance was terrific. However, EP a far more complex person to play (looks, speaking and singing voice, mannerisms, dancing). And Rami never sang a single note, all songs lip synced. Go figure. Maybe Academy believed one best actor Oscar for a deceased music icon in a few years was enough.😔
Well said. I was in the 8th grade when her father died…will never forget that day or Elvis. It all feels sad & raw all over again. R.I.P. Lisa Marie. May God’s love comfort the Presley family & all who love them🙏🏽
I must honestly admit, I was never an Elvis fan until I saw this movie. There was always mixed feelings about him growing up in a black community, but this film gave me a whole new respect for the artist. Elvis was like a musical cultural bridge. Can’t imagine what he carried on his shoulders.
I watched it last night and it made me emotional, it kind of dawned on me how lonely Elvis was really aside from the chaotic fame and it was nice to see him humanized for once. Like he's done some crazy shit but still...
I'm sorry but also as someone from the black community I still fully believe Elvis was RACIST. Michael Jackson is the true king and he won over her daughter!!
Elvis having one child and the fact he has 3 grandchildren is amazing atleast they pass on the family pool and now he is looking down and proud of his granddaughters and holding his grandson and daughter
I hope Riley finds the strength to be strong & get through the coming months/years to carry on being proud of herself & taking care of her 2 younger siblings. She has a good future ahead. My own family has been hit with premature deaths which is heartbreaking. We must find it in ourselves to try & enjoy our own lives however hard it is. God bless to those affected. ♥️
The first time I saw this when they aired it had me tearing up so much bc the authentic love care, respect and the spirit of it all is so beautiful and touching to the core of my soul. The adoration is equal, apparent and authentic 😢 still feel the same way today. 🙏🏽💗
So glad that Lisa had some moments where she smiled again. She was so proud of Austin and this movie. He deserves all the awards and a big pay raise too. Congratulations Austin!! ❤
I rented Elvis’s childhood apartment once in Memphis. There was a guitar as a decor in a room he lived at as a teenager. I took the guitar and started strumming. Suddenly, the power went out in the apartment. Only in that apartment. It was back on shortly, but it felt surreal.I hope it did not happen because Elvis’s teen aged ghost hated my guitar skills. Lol
Austin and Lisa Marie had a beautiful relationship, he lost his mam and she lost her son, and they found comfort and peace in eachother, he brought her some happiness over last few years, and in the blink of an eye she's gone, so very sad 😭😭💔💔💔
Got DVD proud of you Austin did amazing job I'm glad lisa Marie and family praises it I have always loved elvis and lisa Marie I have hypoxia brain injury I died 26minutes spent weeks months in coma rehab hospital learning talk walk again I had flu jab attacked my heart massive cardiac arrest I so wished you survived lisa Marie we will meet again in paradise rest for awhile no one can hurt you now in God's hands xxxxxxx
No hell no. Priscilla wasn't alloud to see or talk with Lisa Marie, because her mom and her sysco church beliefs. Lisa Marie saw her mother not more, because Lisa Marie had reads the letters off her father Elvis, that Elvis wanted back Priscilla at al cost. But Priscilla have no hart she have a hart off stone. Priscilla killed Elvis, the son from Lisa and kill Lisa Marie with her cold hart and church stuff, she whas never ther for her Lisa Marie. Its verry said, because one woman can hurts so manny people. Greetings from a Elvis and Lisa Marie fan.
❤❤❤ Lisa said it best. I waited too because I grew up watching and listening to Elvis for years. My Mom loved him so much and it felt like I knew him. I didn't even know he was dead 2 years before I was born; that's HOW ALIVE ELVIS WAS IN MY MUSLIM ISLANDER HOUSEHOLD IN NOR CAL. I learned English and singing before all else. I had every Elvis movie and performance recorded on VHS (UNTIL MY IDIOT BROTHERS RECORDED NINER GAMES OVER THEM YEARS LATER!) Funny thought huh? So when I hear a Elvis movie is coming out, all these years later when No One Dared (THANK GOD); I was excited and devastated. Would HIS/ELVIS' TRUE STORY BE TOLD? WOULD THE ACTOR BE GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE US FEEL WHAT ELVIS MAKES US FEEL? SO I DIDN'T WATCH IN THEATERS LIKE I WAS SCHEDULED TO. NOW ALMOST 1.5 YEARS LATER, AMAZON RELEASED A SPECIAL SELECTION OF MOVIES AND ELVIS WAS THERE. I, finally, after 2 weeks of thinking about it, gave in. ❤ Austin Butler, You Won My heart and soul. Thank you for being the determined shy you. That was Elvis too. You portrayed our beloved Star/Voice of an Angel to the TEE... I AM STILL WATCHING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Rest in peace Lisa Marie. Be with your father and his eternal love and the Son you lost. I lost my father when I was barely 7 and life just became horrifying. Daddy's lil girl too. Didn't realize all his presence protected us from till they're gone.😢
Lisa Marie was right she had no idea who Austin was once getting to know him and then knowing that he went through so much time and commitment to achieve what’s make people have tried to do but Austin put his heart and soul into this performance, when Lisa said she doesn’t want anybody hurting him or talking bad about him you get that feeling that she knew exactly what she was saying because Austin NAILED and KILLED it so good🫡🥹🫡🥹 Austin I’ll see it once I see it again mission accomplished well done sublime superb excellent fantastic job well done I pray that you get exactly what you deserve
Thinking very much about Riley and her whole family. So sorry for them, they deserved at least to keep Lisa close to them. We all needed to see Lisa going on being strong. So so sorry...
Riley …. what an amazing young lady. Lisa, you must be so proud of her. She’s so wise and she loves you sooo much. Beautiful people… Austin we fall in Love with you now. I hope you realise you’ll be forever in all Elvis’s fans and we Love you. Elvis is smiling….We all miss him a lot!!!!!
Since The Golden Globes, Critics Choice, SAG, BAFTA and the Oscars have all coexisted over the last twenty-seven years, a whopping eighteen times, an actor or actress has swept all five awards for the same performance. Ten have been the actress and eight has been the actor. It happened as recently as last year with Will Smith. It is telling how well Austin did to prevent not only the Fraser performance, but also his narrative that was massive, from taking all five. Especially when you consider that Austin held him to only three. Austin not only had to go up against the Fraser narrative of his comeback and him crying in public, but he had the stigma of "Elvis" being his first leading role, which in Hollywood doesn't go over too well with SAG and Oscar voters. Austin's Golden Globe and BAFTA wins are significant. BAFTA especially, because it's listed as just behind the Oscars on every list as most prestigious, and Austin had to beat not only Fraser, but Collin Farrell on his home turf, who had won a slew of smaller film critic bodies awards in the states, as well as UK ones for Dublin and London. Austin also faced off against UK actors Bill Nighy and Paul Mescal and when BAFTA had given two supporting roles to UK actors. Austin also won the Australian AACTA International vs Fraser and Farrell, but he also had to beat Hugh Jackman on his home turf, and in a ceremony that went with Australian Cate Blanchett. Austin also had a big win for the Satellite Award from the International Press Academy. Austin won for actor in a Comedy or Musical, so, he didn't face off against Fraser, who ended up winning for Drama, but he did have to go against Colin Farrell, without Fraser taking any votes away from Farrell, and in a category that Colin had already won the Golden Globe for from the Hollywood Foreign Press the night that Austin won for Drama. What hurt Austin at the Oscars more than the Fraser narrative, was it being his first lead role, and an apparent bias against Elvis Presley, since the movie went 0-8, even for categories it had won at Guilds, BAFTA and Critics Choice Anyway, the next time you watch "Elvis", instead of thinking "How in the heck could they not give Austin the Oscar, or even SAG or Critics Choice?" Instead, say to yourself, "This is so great that he even stopped Brendan Fraser in The Whale from winning everything." Here's a list of Austin's wins, not counting his 11 Breakthrough Performance Awards: The Hollywood Foreign Press/Golden Globe (Best Performance in a Motion Picture -Drama) The British Academy of Film and Televison (Best Leading Actor) The Australian Academy of Cinema and Televison International (Best Lead Actor) Sunset Circle Awards (Best Actor) International Press Academy/Satellite Award (Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical) People's Choice (Drama Movie Star of 2022) The Minnesota Film Critics Alliance (Best Actor) Sant Jordi Award (Best Actor in a Foreign Film) CinEuphoria Best Actor - International Competition
0:21 wow that’s EXACTLY what I said! As a lifelong Elvis fan that loathes impersonators, watching that movie was extremely weird - but I got home from the cinema and immediately preordered the DVD. Then I had to order a DVD player because I forgot that I haven’t actually owned one for a while 😳
Brings tears to my eyes. This was good for her. Maybe meant for Lisa Marie. Something n Someone Special that lifted her up. Really Blessed her And her Mom♥️. A gift before leaving this place. Thank You Austin♥️for reaching out to the Presleys♥️. GOD BLESS YOU ALL🌺♥️‼️
She is So Real !! Rest in Peace Angel !!
❤️
It just doesn't get better than this
Seeing Lisa Marie talk about how protective she is of Austin brought tears to my eyes. A mother who lost her son with a son who lost his mother…it’s a friendship that both of them need and I hope it’s healing for both of them to some degree. Plus the fact that Austin so accurately portrayed a father that Lisa lost when she was young. It’s a full-circle moment in many ways. Some friendships are just meant to be. I think theirs is such. ❤️❤️❤️
Beautifully said!
💯🙏🏽
I agree its so lovely x
This comment is everything
Lisa Marie now has the unique experience of knowing someone who reminds her of BOTH her dad and son. I am so happy for her.
She really was never the same after her son committed suicide, and I think Austin filled that void. RIP Lisa Marie. Sending your Children and Mom prayers of comfort during this painful time.
Lol I don't think anything.. filled that void !!🎀
more then a void it's a shattered war zone ,,
@@charmaineelizabeth8723 it didn't ofcourse. But he became a comfort place for Lisa
I was thinking there is definite a connection.
Lisa Marie truly loved Austin. They bonded. I’m praying for Priscilla, and Lisa Marie’s children… but also Austin. I know he will never forget the words and praise from her. Austin gave her a gift, by finally doing her Dad justice. This is all heartbreaking. May Lisa Marie be in the warm loving arms of her Dad, and son. 🙏🏻💙
Thanks to Austin, she died a happy woman. He channelled her father in the movie, but channelled her son in real life. You can see there was a real love there x
Austin is so heart broken losing another mother- Lisa Marie

What’s so sad that Elvis didn’t live to see his beautiful grandchildren.
Belive me he dose see it and he is there in spirit for them as my family is for me granparents and others are too mee

@Adessa Cobos Me too. She was at the Golden Globes just two days ago. It’s crazy how quickly things can change. 💔
Lisa has been through so much in her life and she's still so humble, real and sweet to everyone. She's the best, I love her
Greatest achievement for Austin was getting Lisa Marie’s approval of his performance💕
What a beautiful interview. Such a tragic life that Lisa had to live. May she be at peace and I’m sure she was welcomed home by her dad and son.
And by her Ex husband who loved her alot :)
I always feel that she is with MJ he love of her life, in Heaven! @@soul2997
I cried when austin and Lisa Marie Presley hugged. She has always been protective to everyone around her even MJ. You will be forever missed. ❤

Also you can tell Austin Butler is just soaking it all in. He loves that she loves the film. I love this genuine moment between them. RIP Sweet Lisa
I think in her eyes, she only saw Butler as her son…she took him on as her own after losing Benjamin.
True, he lost his mom, she lost a son, there’s a connection there
I'm so grateful that they had this moment together and that she was able to see the movie and love it before she passed.

I LOVE this interview with Austin and Lisa Marie, BOTH are so genuine, humble and articulate.
It breaks my heart that, now that Lisa’s gone, Austin must be feeling as if he’s lost his mother all over again. 😪🙏🏼
I’m crying halfway through this interview with what she’s saying about Austin ❤️😭
It makes me sadden and cry when i found out Lisa Marie passing...but in a way i know she is so happy now to be with her father and her son in heaven.....I am glad Austin Butler gave her the love and happiness even just a short time.
Riley, I like you, sweetheart - I think your granddad would be very proud of you
Their bond was so sweet and wonderful Lisa got to see it may she be at peace 🙏🏾🕊️. This movie was incredible. Austin and Tom did an amazing job.
Glad Lisa got to see Austin win at the Oscars before she passed away. ( Golden Globes )
🥴
Austin sure took her full circle. She was so very happy when he was with her.
She felt over protective of him, he gave her a happiness she hasn't felt since she was a young girl.
That will always make me respect Austin for that.
I wonder how Austin is doing since Lisa Marie's death.
He got very close to her as well.
Feelings like that don't freeze just because the movie is over.
They. Definitely had a connection. I feel bad for Austin too
Awwww I like how she defends him coz she is Real. 2:03 was really a touching moment. He got her Approval, nothing matters if anyone else says anything bad.

You are spot on I truly feel the same no doubt 100%
Wonderful interview. Wonderful warmth between Austin and Lisa Marie ❤ I'm so glad Austin got to hear her praise. He worked so hard. It's an amazing film.
Stop asking these people about Elvis now.
I watched this a lot, months ago, after I saw the film and found it so sweet how she was with Austin. It brought tears of joy. Austin lost his mom, Lisa Marie lost her son and seems they found comfort with each other. No it made my cry tears of sadness... Rest Easy Lisa Marie
It’s so sad to see how rapidly she declined. She seemed so healthy in this interview. She was a shadow of herself right before she passed away.
No, the other way around. I don't want to sound like I know anyone, but I feel she was beginning to smile more, accept the reality, finding a way to a little peace. She was always a shadow of her former self since Ben passed.
And now she's gone 😔 I'd like to believe she died a happy woman. I think her getting to see her father's story told in such an incredible and authentic way and striking up a close relationship with Austin; not long after losing her own son, was really good closure for her. I hope she is now with Elvis and Ben x
Austin is the sweetest man, it's beautiful to see they bonded♥️
These videos are now priceless for her family, and Austin, and Baz and her fans. My goodness so glad she loved Austin and did these interviews.
This is such a poignant interview. It’s so real and raw. I felt the same as Lisa Marie; I was expecting to be disappointed. But that movie just blew me away! The bar was so high for Austin and he met it and exceeded it. This movie was a gift for the Presley family. It deserves every award. ❤❤❤And Go Ashley!
When I told my sister-in-law that the "Elvis" movie wasn't what I expected, she thought I was going to say I didn't like it. But I said: "It was better. Better than I expected."
She was such a wonderful person and will be missed. She sees him like a son and it's a sweet relationship the two had.
That is so sweet. They both are wonderful people.
I am a huge Elvis fan, and when I first heard about the film, I also didn't have high hopes since most of the previous films about him were not very good. But I was pleasantly surprised after seeing it. Austin did an incredible job! Baz made a wonderful movie! This movie deserves awards. I can't wait to see how many the movie receives!!💗💗
LIKE NONE. I HATE HOLLYWOOD. They ignored Austin, Elvis, Lisa...oh and also Tom Cruise. He made the only other good movie last year.
It’s unbelievable that Lisa Marie joined her daddy today. She was so young 😢RIP Lisa Marie Presley 😢😢😢
Lisa Marie was right about the Oscars. Hollywood has prejudice about Elvis. Shame on them.
Yet they gave the Oscar to the actor who portrayed Freddy Mercury, Rami Malek. His performance was terrific. However, EP a far more complex person to play (looks, speaking and singing voice, mannerisms, dancing). And Rami never sang a single note, all songs lip synced. Go figure. Maybe Academy believed one best actor Oscar for a deceased music icon in a few years was enough.😔
He will never forget the living hug💔😢🇨🇦
RIP Sweet Child in the living arms of your Dad and Son🙏🙏🙏 God has you now🙏
My familys deepest condolences on the passing of Lisa Marie today to her family.
I love Elvis’s music so his only Daughter not being here anymore is heartbreaking. Lead with love and kindness we’re all hurting over Lisa Marie. 🙏
Well said. I was in the 8th grade when her father died…will never forget that day or Elvis. It all feels sad & raw all over again. R.I.P. Lisa Marie.
May God’s love comfort the Presley family & all who love them🙏🏽
I must honestly admit, I was never an Elvis fan until I saw this movie. There was always mixed feelings about him growing up in a black community, but this film gave me a whole new respect for the artist. Elvis was like a musical cultural bridge. Can’t imagine what he carried on his shoulders.
I watched it last night and it made me emotional, it kind of dawned on me how lonely Elvis was really aside from the chaotic fame and it was nice to see him humanized for once. Like he's done some crazy shit but still...
I'm sorry but also as someone from the black community I still fully believe Elvis was RACIST. Michael Jackson is the true king and he won over her daughter!!
Wow it's so nice to see Lisa I hope she's ok 💯❤️❤️❤️
Elvis having one child and the fact he has 3 grandchildren is amazing atleast they pass on the family pool and now he is looking down and proud of his granddaughters and holding his grandson and daughter
Elvis had 4, don't forget Benjamin....😪 Also, Elvis is a great grandfather now!
2:00 when she said this one and Austin smiled, that was a very heartfelt moment. You could see how much it meant to him!❤
I hope Riley finds the strength to be strong & get through the coming months/years to carry on being proud of herself & taking care of her 2 younger siblings. She has a good future ahead. My own family has been hit with premature deaths which is heartbreaking. We must find it in ourselves to try & enjoy our own lives however hard it is. God bless to those affected. ♥️
This was my favorite of all the interviews with Austin, Lisa and Riley. Rip Lisa Marie.💖🌹🕯️
May she RIP. Austin did her proud ❤
It’s sweet she saw Austin as a son. I can’t believe she’s gone. 💔
The first time I saw this when they aired it had me tearing up so much bc the authentic love care, respect and the spirit of it all is so beautiful and touching to the core of my soul. The adoration is equal, apparent and authentic 😢 still feel the same way today. 🙏🏽💗
So glad that Lisa had some moments where she smiled again. She was so proud of Austin and this movie. He deserves all the awards and a big pay raise too. Congratulations Austin!!
❤
I rented Elvis’s childhood apartment once in Memphis. There was a guitar as a decor in a room he lived at as a teenager. I took the guitar and started strumming. Suddenly, the power went out in the apartment. Only in that apartment. It was back on shortly, but it felt surreal.I hope it did not happen because Elvis’s teen aged ghost hated my guitar skills. Lol
Austin and Lisa Marie had a beautiful relationship, he lost his mam and she lost her son, and they found comfort and peace in eachother, he brought her some happiness over last few years, and in the blink of an eye she's gone, so very sad 😭😭💔💔💔
riley looks more like priscilla to me
Got DVD proud of you Austin did amazing job I'm glad lisa Marie and family praises it I have always loved elvis and lisa Marie I have hypoxia brain injury I died 26minutes spent weeks months in coma rehab hospital learning talk walk again I had flu jab attacked my heart massive cardiac arrest I so wished you survived lisa Marie we will meet again in paradise rest for awhile no one can hurt you now in God's hands xxxxxxx
rest in peace lisa marie presley. 🫶🏻🥺
Rest in sweet peace, Lisa Marie.
That is such a high phrase from Elvis' daughter. 👏 😲
One line said there that applies to all of us; you can't compare yourself to Elvis. So true.
Rest in peace Lisa Marie you were so beautiful person congratulations Austin butler you did amazing job playing elvis I love you and Lisa Marie ❤
Good movie!!! Would watch it again!
This breaks my heart 😢💔
I agree with everything LMP said, I was apprehensive too. AB was phenomenal.
I must say Austin looked incredible in that leather. Not too many men can pull that off. ❤
Prayers for the Presley family. Priscilla has outlived her ex-husband, grandson and now her daughter. May god continue to watch over their family.
No hell no. Priscilla wasn't alloud to see or talk with Lisa Marie, because her mom and her sysco church beliefs. Lisa Marie saw her mother not more, because Lisa Marie had reads the letters off her father Elvis, that Elvis wanted back Priscilla at al cost.
But Priscilla have no hart she have a hart off stone.
Priscilla killed Elvis, the son from Lisa and kill Lisa Marie with her cold hart and church stuff, she whas never ther for her Lisa Marie.
Its verry said, because one woman can hurts so manny people.
Greetings from a Elvis and Lisa Marie fan.
Seeing this made me cry 😢I miss Lisa so much
We get to hear her own words about the movie and her dad and one of her children who is strong and following her dream....May she rest well....
Yep no one can compare to this iconic man no one. Good words. So sad about Lisa
😢 I almost made it through without crying
WOW Riley has her Grandfather's Smile and cheekbones & eyes somewhat!!!! This is so sweet with Lisa Marie & Austin
❤❤❤ Lisa said it best. I waited too because I grew up watching and listening to Elvis for years. My Mom loved him so much and it felt like I knew him. I didn't even know he was dead 2 years before I was born; that's HOW ALIVE ELVIS WAS IN MY MUSLIM ISLANDER HOUSEHOLD IN NOR CAL. I learned English and singing before all else. I had every Elvis movie and performance recorded on VHS (UNTIL MY IDIOT BROTHERS RECORDED NINER GAMES OVER THEM YEARS LATER!) Funny thought huh? So when I hear a Elvis movie is coming out, all these years later when No One Dared (THANK GOD); I was excited and devastated. Would HIS/ELVIS' TRUE STORY BE TOLD? WOULD THE ACTOR BE GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE US FEEL WHAT ELVIS MAKES US FEEL? SO I DIDN'T WATCH IN THEATERS LIKE I WAS SCHEDULED TO. NOW ALMOST 1.5 YEARS LATER, AMAZON RELEASED A SPECIAL SELECTION OF MOVIES AND ELVIS WAS THERE.
I, finally, after 2 weeks of thinking about it, gave in.
❤ Austin Butler, You Won My heart and soul. Thank you for being the determined shy you. That was Elvis too. You portrayed our beloved Star/Voice of an Angel to the TEE... I AM STILL WATCHING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Rest in peace Lisa Marie. Be with your father and his eternal love and the Son you lost. I lost my father when I was barely 7 and life just became horrifying. Daddy's lil girl too. Didn't realize all his presence protected us from till they're gone.😢
Riley is so beautifuly classy ! I know she will be strong and make the right decisions, Stray1 Britain’s best Unknown stuntman that never was,
Wow too hear Lisa marie say she is over protective of him was amazing lisa lost her son in 2020 and too get Lisa too Ok a movie about her dad is good
This is extremely sad watching this now after the loss of Lisa!
Rip LMP
Lisa Marie was right she had no idea who Austin was once getting to know him and then knowing that he went through so much time and commitment to achieve what’s make people have tried to do but Austin put his heart and soul into this performance, when Lisa said she doesn’t want anybody hurting him or talking bad about him you get that feeling that she knew exactly what she was saying because Austin NAILED and KILLED it so good🫡🥹🫡🥹
Austin I’ll see it once I see it again mission accomplished well done sublime superb excellent fantastic job well done
I pray that you get exactly what you deserve
I love the rapport Austin and Lisa Marie shared
Thinking very much about Riley and her whole family. So sorry for them, they deserved at least to keep Lisa close to them. We all needed to see Lisa going on being strong. So so sorry...
So precious, what interviews, thank God.
The blue eyes are strong in their genes
Riley is a sweet girl. I think Elvis would be very proud of Lisa and his grandchildren.
Riley …. what an amazing young lady. Lisa, you must be so proud of her. She’s so wise and she loves you sooo much.
Beautiful people… Austin we fall in Love with you now. I hope you realise you’ll be forever in all Elvis’s fans and we Love you.
Elvis is smiling….We all miss him a lot!!!!!
Since The Golden Globes, Critics Choice, SAG, BAFTA and the Oscars have all coexisted over the last twenty-seven years, a whopping eighteen times, an actor or actress has swept all five awards for the same performance. Ten have been the actress and eight has been the actor.
It happened as recently as last year with Will Smith.
It is telling how well Austin did to prevent not only the Fraser performance, but also his narrative that was massive, from taking all five. Especially when you consider that Austin held him to only three.
Austin not only had to go up against the Fraser narrative of his comeback and him crying in public, but he had the stigma of "Elvis" being his first leading role, which in Hollywood doesn't go over too well with SAG and Oscar voters. Austin's Golden Globe and BAFTA wins are significant.
BAFTA especially, because it's listed as just behind the Oscars on every list as most prestigious, and Austin had to beat not only Fraser, but Collin Farrell on his home turf, who had won a slew of smaller film critic bodies awards in the states, as well as UK ones for Dublin and London. Austin also faced off against UK actors Bill Nighy and Paul Mescal and when BAFTA had given two supporting roles to UK actors.
Austin also won the Australian AACTA International vs Fraser and Farrell, but he also had to beat Hugh Jackman on his home turf, and in a ceremony that went with Australian Cate Blanchett.
Austin also had a big win for the Satellite Award from the International Press Academy.
Austin won for actor in a Comedy or Musical, so, he didn't face off against Fraser, who ended up winning for Drama, but he did have to go against Colin Farrell, without Fraser taking any votes away from Farrell, and in a category that Colin had already won the Golden Globe for from the Hollywood Foreign Press the night that Austin won for Drama.
What hurt Austin at the Oscars more than the Fraser narrative, was it being his first lead role, and an apparent bias against Elvis Presley, since the movie went 0-8, even for categories it had won at Guilds, BAFTA and Critics Choice
Anyway, the next time you watch "Elvis", instead of thinking "How in the heck could they not give Austin the Oscar, or even SAG or Critics Choice?" Instead, say to yourself, "This is so great that he even stopped Brendan Fraser in The Whale from winning everything."
Here's a list of Austin's wins, not counting his 11 Breakthrough Performance Awards:
The Hollywood Foreign Press/Golden Globe (Best Performance in a Motion Picture -Drama)
The British Academy of Film and Televison (Best Leading Actor)
The Australian Academy of Cinema and Televison International (Best Lead Actor)
Sunset Circle Awards (Best Actor)
International Press Academy/Satellite Award (Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical)
People's Choice (Drama Movie Star of 2022)
The Minnesota Film Critics Alliance (Best Actor)
Sant Jordi Award (Best Actor in a Foreign Film)
CinEuphoria Best Actor - International Competition
*Beautiful Ladies.*
*Lisa, gone too soon.*
😭
0:21 wow that’s EXACTLY what I said! As a lifelong Elvis fan that loathes impersonators, watching that movie was extremely weird - but I got home from the cinema and immediately preordered the DVD. Then I had to order a DVD player because I forgot that I haven’t actually owned one for a while 😳
Love this interview
Brings tears to my eyes. This was good for her. Maybe meant for Lisa Marie. Something n Someone Special that lifted her up. Really Blessed her And her Mom♥️. A gift before leaving this place.
Thank You Austin♥️for reaching out to the Presleys♥️.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL🌺♥️‼️
