Austin Butler on the cover of GQ Hype.

To promote his role as Elvis in the Baz Luhrmann film, 'Elvis', Austin Butler is on the cover of GQ Hype - photographed by Eric Ray Davidson. 

On pursuing acting, Butler says: “I didn’t really have a passion for anything that included other people at that time. I wouldn’t go play sports. I wouldn’t do things with other kids. I never had a real prom, but I had prom in a TV show. I tested out of high school when I was 15 and a half, but I kept writing essays because I was always afraid that I wouldn’t be able to communicate. I printed out the Pulp Fiction script when I was 12, and I’d read it to my mom in the car. That was my dream from 12 years old. I said, ‘Quentin is the director I want to work with.’ ”
