Angela Bassett Defends Austin Butler’s ‘Elvis’ Accent: ‘It’s Hard to Let It Go’

Elvis has received lots of acclaim over the year. Still, the conversation over the movie’s merits has taken a backseat to the debate over Austin Butler’s voice. 

Nearly a year after portraying the iconic singer, Butler still speaks in Presley’s accent. Many jokes have been made about the actor’s extended commitment to method acting. Still, he recently received some support from Angela Bassett, who went through a similar experience when starring in a biopic of another famous musician.
