The Feels Train with Austin Butler: A (Slightly Inappropriate) Look at Cancer and Showbiz
Alright, folks, gather 'round for a story that's equal parts heartwarming and hits you right in the feels. We're talking about Austin Butler, the rising star who's been wowing audiences with his recent portrayal of the King himself, Elvis Presley. But before he was shimmying on screen, he dealt with a real-life tragedy: the loss of his mom to cancer.
Hold on, wasn't this supposed to be funny?
We'll get there, my friend, we'll get there. But buckle up, because cancer is a serious business and we can't just skip over it like a bad audition (although, those can be pretty darn funny).
The Nitty Gritty: Cancer and Mrs. Butler
Austin's mom, the lovely Lori Butler, passed away in 2014 after battling duodenal cancer. Now, unless you're a medical whiz, duodenal cancer sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi flick. Let's translate: it's cancer in the first part of your small intestine, which isn't exactly a picnic in the park.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
So, what does this have to do with Austin's career?
Well, according to the man himself, his mom's passing hit him hard. So hard, in fact, that he thought about ditching acting altogether. Can you imagine? Hollywood without Austin's brooding good looks and undeniable talent? A travesty! Thankfully, he found solace in movies (probably not musicals after that whole Elvis thing) and persevered.

Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Feel your feels: It's okay to be sad, angry, confused. Bottling it up is like keeping a shaken soda – it's gonna explode eventually.
- Talk it out: Find a friend, therapist, or even a chatty barista. Verbal diarrhea is sometimes the best medicine (just not literally, that would be messy).
- Find your outlet: Whether it's baking a sadness pie (because apparently, that's a thing), punching a pillow, or belting out show tunes at karaoke, do what makes you feel (somewhat) sane.
