The mother and daughter were particularly moved to accompany and see actor Austin Butler win the Golden Globe for best actor for portraying Elvis in the film about his life on Tuesday night.
Both had repeatedly praised the very fair interpretation of the 31-year-old actor. Last May, after watching the film twice, Lisa Marie Presley took the trouble to write a long message on her Instagram account to salute the actor’s performance.
“Absolutely exquisite,” she wrote. Austin Butler beautifully channeled and embodied my father’s heart and soul. In my humble opinion, his performance is unprecedented and FINALLY done with precision and respect. (If he doesn’t get an Oscar for this, I’ll eat my own foot, haha.)”
