Before his star turn in the 2022 biopic Elvis<\/em>, Austin Butler<\/strong><\/a> was primarily known for his roles in youth-oriented shows that aired on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and the CW. It wasn’t until he appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em>, Elvis<\/em>, and now Dune: Part Two<\/em>, that Butler began to receive widespread recognition for his performances. In an interview with fellow Dune: Part Two<\/em> actor Josh Brolin<\/strong><\/a> for Interview<\/em><\/a> magazine, Butler opened up about his new level of fame and accolades — and admits that at times it is terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butler confesses that he always feels nervous about taking on new projects and how he will perform the particular character. He reveals, \u201cI\u2019m always nervous. I always feel an incredible pressure. I felt that when I was 12 years old. Even if the material doesn\u2019t really require it, I feel I need to do the best that I possibly can. That sets a bar, and then I\u2019m always afraid that I\u2019m going to miss something. With Dune<\/em> it was interesting, because I met with Denis [Villeneuve], and we got along very well, and started talking about the character. At that point, we didn\u2019t even have a script, but as we started talking about Feyd, my imagination started running, and I started to feel the terror of the challenge. That\u2019s what I\u2019m guided by now: What really scares me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“…it becomes this jet fuel that makes you wake up at four in the morning with your heart pounding, and you go, \u2018Okay, let\u2019s get to work. Let\u2019s start working on the voice. Let\u2019s start working on the body. Let\u2019s start working on the text.’\u201d<\/div>
