Oscar nominee Austin Butler still uses his 2007 IMDb biography that was written for him by his “proud parents”.
Earlier this week, Riz Ahmed and Alison Williams announced the nominees for the 2023 Academy Awards, which will be held in March.
Among the nominees is Butler for his role as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic Elvis.
The 31-year-old actor recently received a Golden Globe award for the same role.
As noted by People, despite his fame, Butler still uses the same IMDb biography that his parents, David Butler and the late Lori Butler, penned for him in 2007.
In the biography, his parents enthused about Butler’s early acting career that began after he landed “a rather permanent background-acting gig” on the Nickelodeon series Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide in 2004.
They wrote that their son’s first speaking role was on Zoey 101 in 2005. Playing “Dannifer” or “Wrong Danny”, Butler got to say “a few lines,...

‘Elvis’ star Austin Butler may have received his first-ever Oscar nomination, but he is not forgetting where he came from. The 31-year-old actor’s IMDb biography was penned by his “proud parents,” David Butler and his late mom Lori Butler in 2007, and has been kept the same to this day, reports People magazine.
In the biography, his parents sweetly raved about their son’s early acting career that began after he landed “a rather permanent background-acting gig” on the Nickelodeon series, Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide in 2004, and “from that point on, he considered himself to be a serious actor.”
According to his parents, Butler’s “first named (albeit uncredited) character was ‘Toby’ in the Hannah Montana episode ‘Oops, I Meddled Again’ in 2006 (girl broke up with him).”
Then his “first speaking role was in ‘Zoey 101’ as ‘Dannifer’ or ‘Wrong Danny’.” They joked that while he got a “meatier...

Austin Butler had an emotional moment on Saturday Night Live when he remembered his late mother.
The actor, who was highly praised for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic earlier this year, hosted the sketch show on Saturday (17 December).
During his opening monologue, he told the audience about the significance of him hosting the programme, which he used to watch with his mum as a child.
He said: “I love my mom. Some of my favourite memories from growing up are of she and I watching SNL together.
“And even though I had this crippling shyness, when I was with her, I’d do anything to make my mom laugh. I’d make funny faces, and voices.”
Butler then performed an impression of Lord of the Rings character, Gollum, which gained laughter and applause from the studio audience.
“Being silly with her is what broke me out of my shell,...
