Luhrmann speaks out about why Harry Styles wasn’t given the titular role.
“Harry is a really talented actor. I would work on something with him,” Luhrmann said. “The real issue with Harry is, he’s Harry Styles. He’s already an icon.” It seems that Luhrmann didn’t believe that fans could look past Styles and see Elvis, while Austin Butler came into the project with more anonymity. Luhrmann continued, saying Styles was “desperate to put the suit on and explore,” but in the end, he felt like the role “drew [Austin] in” like he was “born to play it.
. “I feel like if a director feels like I’m not the best person for the role then it’s better for them and it’s better for me,” he said. “If they think the movie’s going to be better with someone else then I don’t want to do it because I don’t want to be the not as-good version.”
