i had never seen him in anything before but he was SO GOOD. definitely the highlight of the movie for me.

[jamesdean]

mte! and i admit i didn't go into watching the movie with high expectations for him but he really blew me away.

[veryshortstory]

Yeah, the movie wasn’t great by any means but I’d recommend it just to watch his performance.

[sibylblack]

It makes no sense to me how they seriously considered Harry for the role. You know that everybody would just go to watch him and not Elvis.

I was skeptical when they announced they cast Austin but he seriously did an incredible job and I watched a few interviews with him promoting the movie, he comes across so nice and humble, I hope he has a good career.

[jamesdean]

luv ur icon.

and i agree with everything in this comment! i was also skeptical about him because i really hadn't seen anything with him in it. but i was very pleasantly surprised and he seems like a good egg. i stan!

[sibylblack]

Same ♥ Have you seen the interview with puppies (where my icon is from)? I was melting

[jamesdean]

i have not but i'm about to go watch it rn!

[notoriousreign]

Honestly of that list, Austin >>> I don't care.

[thatcovergirl]

I’m glad he beat them out cause this movie is terrible.

Hope he enjoys the memes. He’s not the best actor and it shows.

Edit: I haven’t seen this movie but I hear he’s good in it… I just don’t like him

[sibylblack]

If you haven't seen the movie how do you know it's terrible?

[thatcovergirl]

Spidey sense

[patenipat]

Is that a Dark Angel icon? <3

[sunk]

Miles Teller???

I get you don't always need a carbon copy of the person the biopic/movie is about, but MILES TELLER as Elvis? What kind of Shein-Expectation-vs-Reality?

[slinkydinks]

Prosthetic makeup and CGI has come a long way! I heard Andy Serkis was also in the running.
