Austin Butler was hospitalised day after wrapping Elvis

The actor revealed in a cover interview for U.K. GQ magazine that he had given so much of himself to his portrayal of Elvis Presley that his body revolted immediately after Baz Luhrmann's biopic wrapped in March 2021. "The next day I woke up at four in the morning with excruciating pain, and I was rushed to hospital.” Austin Butler via U.K. GQ magazine. Butler then revealed that he was bedridden for a week and diagnosed with a virus that simulates appendicitis.
