Austin Butler Covers the Fall Issue of Interview Magazine

Austin Butler is on the cover of Interview Magazine! The actor is on the cover of the magazine’s new Fall issue, and he is interviewed by actor, and friend Josh Brolin.

In the interview, the pair discuss how they met, their connection, working on Dune: Part Two, his new movie, The Bikerriders, the world, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On working on Dune: Part Two: “I’m always nervous. I always feel an incredible pressure. I felt that when I was 12 years old. Even if the material doesn’t really require it, I feel I need to do the best that I possibly can. That sets a bar, and then I’m always afraid that I’m going to miss something. With Dune 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’t 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’s what I’m guided by now: What really scares me?”

On his new movie, The Bikeriders: “After the spectacle of Elvis and Dune, and these characters that were quite different from me, to be able to go to something where—there’s an intimate sensitivity to The Bikeriders. It’s the roaring engines and the smell of grease that we got to be around. It was nice to go to something that felt more independent and play in that space for a bit. But one of the things I was thinking about earlier, when you were talking about that relaxation on set, was that Tom Hardy surprised me. I pictured him to be this grizzly bear, always serious. And really, he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. He’d be joking around until action is called, and then go into being the most intense guy I’d ever seen.”
