Harry StylesHe is just too famous for his own good.
On June 6, he made an appearance on The Fitzy & Wippa podcast, Elvis Director Baz Luhrmann He shared his reasons for not casting the former One Direction singer as Elvis Presley in the upcoming biopic over Austin Butler.
Baz stated that Harry was a very talented actor. Harry Styles is Harry’s real problem. He is an already iconic figure. So you know, I think Harry and I came to a place genuinely…I mean he was just desperate to put the suit on and explore, he’s such a great spirit. Harry Styles has nothing but praises.
The filmmaker admitted that he didn’t choose Austin for the film—which hits theaters June 24—but said the Zoey 101 alum was rather “drawn to the role.”
Baz stated, “He was nearly born to play it,” We can now talk about it. He loses his mother at the exact same time as Elvis. I send him a video with the following thing. It was two years of Elvis living and breathing non-stop. Because he hasn’t known his true identity for a while, he is now doing a sort of deprogramming process.
