The incident that Austin mentioned was mentioned before — of both Austin, 31, and Vanessa, 34. During a roundtable in January for Hollywood Reporter, he told how it all happened. “A month ago when I heard that Baz was making a movie, I was going to see the Christmas lights with a friendand there’s an Elvis Christmas song on the radio and I’m singing along, and my friend looks over at me and says, ‘Do you play Elvis.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s a long shot.’”

He continued: “A few weeks later, I was playing the piano. “I never really sang for any of my friends or anything. The same friend was there and I was playing the piano. She said, ‘I’m serious. You have to figure out how you can get rights to a script.’ Then my agent called and said, ‘So Baz Luhrmann is doing a Elvis movie.'”

Vanessa corroborated the story when she appeared in 2019 on Live with Kelly and Ryan. It will prove to be only a few months before they farewell early 2020. She told the hosts: “Last December, we were driving and we were listening to Christmas music, then an Elvis Presley Christmas song played. “He just dyed his hair dark. He has natural blonde hair, and I was looking at him and he sang along and I was like, ‘Honey, you need to play Elvis.’”

Austin’s wisdom to take advice. Since then, he has received numerous critical acclaim for the role, most recently Win the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) on January 10.
