Janelle Monae's first question for Austin Butler: 'What was it like being a kid and living next to Disneyland?' | Variety Actors on Actors presented by amazonstudios
Austin Butler transformed into a music icon this year, taking on the presence and the swagger of the King in Baz Luhrmann’s electrifying “Elvis.” And Janelle Monáe made the reverse journey, continuing her reinvention from futuristic pop diva to multi-hyphenate actor with a meaty central role as a tech entrepreneur in “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” Being someone who has toured for many years, making it your own is no small thing. I know a little bit about what that takes.
No, Baz thought he was going to have to, and then I sang. All the early Elvis was my voice. For me, it was being precise about “How does Elvis voice this? What are the mannerisms of his voice?” They moved seamlessly from one gospel number to the other, singing spiritual music for eight hours straight. I stood in the center. And I was so fortunate to get to be there. Chills are going down my body. Tears are pouring down my face. That was a pivotal moment for me, as far as what music means and what movement means. When you can’t help but move because your spirit is being moved. I’ve only had a couple moments before filming “Elvis” where I danced in public, because I was very, very shy.
