Austin Butler says he feels an “incredible responsibility” in playing Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming biopic about the musical icon.

The actor said when starting out in the film’s eponymous role he felt it would be “impossible” to recreate the persona of the world famous rock star and his “superhuman status”.
