I went to Disneyland for the first time this year and I cried!! It was a childhood dream 🥲
Amen!
This is the only content. Getting Janelle Monae to Disney World.
Lol
Austin asked her such thoughtful questions. You can feel his respect and genuine interest in her.
Yes, he was so deep in his questions. Its possible see how she likes the questions.
Chill out dude
They fuking ❤️

@@Boomer2304 will you Hire Me
Can we take a minute to acknowledge the deliciousness of Austin butler's voice? My heart fluttered every time he spoke
I am mesmized by him, his voice, his luscious lips, his beautiful hands I could go on and on I adore him. He better win the Oscar or there will be riots.
@@lindawalsh514 girl, I am with you
Yes, and those eyes. I couldn't be her sitting across from him like that. It'd be too much for me lol
me too girl omgg
Smooth like butter 😍
Two of the nicest people. Met Austin at an industry screening of ‘Elvis’ and said I had been a fan since ‘switched at birth’ because I’m disabled. He was so kind and when I saw him at another event a few weeks later, he jumped off stage just to say hi to me. Janelle was the only actress at a glass onion screening to come over.
That's so sweet of him 🥺
Really sweet. I imagine it's hard remembering every fan you have an encounter with but people who make an impression on you to show you how you've helped them overcome a struggle stays with you if they care
Aw that’s so sweet he felt bad for you and said hi. I feel like most wouldn’t care. So sweet!
😳😳😍😍😍😍😍#celebritycrush #austinbutler deep voiced. And #janellemonae is beautiful person! She did great in #hiddenfigures!!
@@pluto8031 I think that there are a lot of actors that are genuinely down to earth like these two. There are those that are a little full of themselves, granted. But I do feel like maybe some actors are so busy they don't always have the time to be nice to people.
It's official, I need a movie with them together.
I'm ready for that, please!
@@priscilajunger6276 Another music icon maybe?
I sense sexual tension between these two 😂.
I second that!
Yes!
His voice purred this entire interview 😭Whoever let him record this in his bedroom voice, y’all knew what y’all were doing
You are a very fine Woman, i like the shape of your eyes 🤩 , if you allow me to make you a compliment
On Godddd😭🥵
This should have been at least two hours long. I can listen to Austin and Janelle all day, they're so well spoken and eloquent.
Chill out
@@cutieboychase here come the men spewing hatred as usual.
Yes! I would have listened!
@@tequila7435 chill out bro
@@cutieboychase bro shut up
Both their voices are hypnotizing.
Their voices had love flow, melodically enhancing each other.
Right?
Agreed.
He looks at her with such admiration like he’s an honest fan, it might just be that charming smile of his though
His dancing in public at her Coachella gig sounded like a BIG deal to him.
Austin Butler was my first ever on screen crush, after I saw him in Zoey 101. It is so insane that we get to witness these former child actors like Austin and Zendaya transforming into acclaimed Hollywood stars. I feel like I’ve grown up with them 😢
It's amazing how he's basically a C-list actor in Nickelodeon and Disney Channel shows as his appearance was mostly just guest star or supporting then suddenly he just shows up and play Elvis. What a remarkable career
Sameeeeee omg ❤❤❤
I think they just really like each other and there is that spark. cute.

He’s going to be in the Dune sequel as well….
Austin always mentions being shy and awkward and yet he always looks so relaxed and at ease. I need to know his secret!
I have this same thought every time I come across an interview of his!
He says in many interviews that he has tools now to deal with his shyness which he learnt while working and through acting classes. That’s how he deals with it. It’s inspirational as he consistently put in the work to improve himself and didn’t let his shy nature be a hurdle in his success. He also says he isn’t shy when he’s portraying someone else so that way he can act as an extrovert even though he isn’t.
He has a bunch of tools he utilises. I recall an interview where he says “you can’t be other conscious and self conscious at the same time” so by focusing on the other person he takes the anxiety off himself
@@jamjar5525 Yeah i've heard that focusing on the other person thing as a tool alright and i think it does help.
@@user-crxfmuf Definitely is inspirational. I've been working on my anxiety / social anxiety / shyness for almost 3 years now and I definitely notice a big difference in myself. Not gonna be gettin up acting anytime soon but i might push myself to do karaoke at my friends wedding that's coming up!
It’s so incredible hearing Janelle’a thoughts on Elvis and the importance of acknowledging black musicians being the originals, they’re always so eloquent and wise I love her 😭 and Austin too he’s amazing and seems so genuine 😭😭😭
Lol. Black ppl think they invented everything. They're the only race that make everything about themself and their skin color and want to be praised and credited for literally everything.
@@ViralVideos-pr2oi Well I mean historically yeah black people and our culture have influenced a lot things. Not to mention we all originate from Africa so yeah...
The God Mother of Rockin Roll gave Elvis magical powers of it's music to become a the King 👑
For the record Elvis' version of hound dog had nothing to do with big moma Thornton's original. He heard a group sing it on stage in Vegas called Freddie Bell and the Bell boys and asked them if they minded if he recorded it, which is why Elvis' version of hound dog sounds nothing like big moma Thornton's original, it even has different lyrics! Listen to Freddie and the bellboys version on utube and see the similarities between their's and Elvis'. There you go FACT of the day. BTW many artists sang hound dog before Elvis did but that doesn't suit this narrative of Elvis owes everything to black music also the movie had to pander to this narrative to get any chance at award season even if it means giving out false info.
Cringe
His voice is so soothing. I could listen to him all day long.
Hers too.
@@blabla48076 yes
No, it's yaaaassssssss lol
I'm from Orange County and was SHOCKED when he said he 's from Anaheim! Wow, Elvis really took over his "accent"!
All. Day.
Was it just me or was the chemistry between Janelle and Austin like flowing lava. This was giving me strong sensual vibes, I felt like Austin was really vibing off Janelle and she reciprocated! They’d make a really gorgeous couple.👍🏾👍🏽🤟🏼👌🏾👀
She always wears the most unusual outfits. This outfit and earrings are amazing. I feel like this is the first AoA session where both actors are actually listening to what the other person is saying and not talking over each other or interrupting each other all the time. His charisma oozes from the screen.
I believe its Schaparelli
She STUNS in Schiaparelli
Yes this is the first AoA i've watched since Jared and Amanda because I stopped that one halfway through because Jared kept interrupting Amanda. This is a good makeup for that one.
Nah chill out.
Colin Farrell and Jamie Lee Curtis had a great one as well.
Michelle Yeoh and Cate Blanchett also!
I do love that Janelle is leaning in to him, she’s invested. And also, the chemistry is undeniable…get them in a film together.
OK, Austin and Janelle need to do a movie together.
Please! I need that
Absolutely NO, she is so freaking annoying
YES
as eachothers love interests pls
He seems truly engaged in the conversation with her and very humble. She too is enjoying their time together. I'd say they respect eachother a lot from seeing this.
This was a nice first date.
It was diabolical of Variety to put two of the hottest people on earth in a room together like this. I have never felt uglier in my life.
It’s okay goblin, I’m here for you.
Lolll
💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@extrashotofespresso_ why was this kinda sweet 😂
😂🤗❤️
Listen, WE ALL KNOW Janelle Monáe is GORGEOUS… But I did NOT know… that THIS man… Austin Butler… was THIS fine.
I knew. The Carrie Diaries tipped us off.😂
Girrl..18:19 was just..ugh 😍
Geesh he is beautiful
I’m so glad Big Momma Thornton, Sister Rosetta Thorpe and Mahalia Jackson got shout outs in Elvis.
Such great singers but sadly so forgotten.
Janelle is as close as a human can get to perfection. She is unbelievably beautiful.
This interview was amazing. You could tell they were both comfortable with eachother and they were each invested in what the other had to say. The questions were on point, the chemistry was there (I felt like they were on a date lowkey lol so much chemistry) it was nice hearing about their personal journeys with acting, relationships with their directors and how they prepare for roles. Very nice pairing!
I feel the same.
Amen! And the chemistry is off the charts. Imagine them in a romantic comedy together, or a thriller, or...

Too bad she gay
he is such a sponge, u can tell he really listens and absorbs information. he will only get better and go so much farther in his career this way. he will be tom cruise brad pitt status 🔥
Yes!
I totally agree! Austin is gonna go faaar in his career
The fact Denzel vouched for Austin is crazy
Crazy that his voice still sounds somewhat like Elvis. The vocal training must have been really intense
Or he realised it sounds awesome. Gosling did the same thing with his New York accent
It’s now his flirting voice
I think he could be hoarse from all the interviews he's been doing since may.
I really wish people would stop obsessing over his voice. Please look at videos of him pre-Elvis like in The Carrie diaries, his voice is still the same. He's also 31 years old now.
He sound fine as hell 😍
Being a black woman born in 92, gotta admit I didn't know jack about Elvis. I finally watched the filmed and it blew me away. Anything I did, hear or thought i knew was wrong. I am glad I took the time to watch the film, it was phenomenal!!! Austin was phenomenal!! What a beautiful tribute to Elvis!!! Always great to see my girl Janelle, in any and everything :) !!!!
This is one fine ass interview, and I’m not talking about the conversation.
Such obvious mutual respect, genuine interest, and chemistry between these 2... we need them acting in a project together! 🙌
*What an interesting duo that I never thought I needed. Both underrated from the start but great actors.*
I never would have thought to put these two together, but whoever did was a genius ! Not only are they both insanely talented but also so beautiful! Their chemistry is *chef’s kiss*
The chemistry is magical here. I would love to see them in a movie together as partners or love interests. Just something lol I’m obsessed with the vibe
The chemistry coming from these two are off the chart!! They HAVE to do a movie together!
Austin Butler is strangely very charming lol dont know what it is about him but cant help but like the guy
I don't think it's strange at all. He seems a very calm and soothing presence and he's also very present and interested in the conversation.
Austin has **THE** coolest and most soothing voice of anyone working in Hollywood right now. He exudes the same cool that Elvis himself did.
His voice is also kinda reminiscent of Johnny Depp..unless Johnny Depp was copying Elvis' voice..
Their energy/ chemistry. Even if that was amazing acting, they need a movie together.
I love how he's really listening and understanding her
I also loved that Janelle mentioned that she had to find her own style in music as an entertainer. She’s definitely Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill and Prince in one, she’s such a class act and a talented musician ❤
Don't insult those musical legends again
@@Jtve737 lol
yeah let's insult Wonder, Hill and Prince in one fell swoop. As if she's really that big of a star, composer or musician. Come on now. This is just that special brand of super rabid fandom. And they wonder why people say this level of illogical 'sucking up' is for children and the child-like.
Hahahaha she isn't, get real for F sake
@@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439 I hope you know that she and Prince were friends and collabed and her last 3 albums have been well received by critics...
LOVEEEEE Janelle Monae. Also, i'm rooting for Austin. He's campaigning so hard for that Oscar and I wouldn't have it any other way. He gave the performance of a lifetime as Elvis. Hats off to the producers of Actors on Actors for putting them together.
I'd really like to get a part 2 of this conversation where they speak about spirituality, gender, music and insecurity.
Can you give me A Chance I Care you always
I wish this was longer, they speak so beautifully together and it was so calming to listen to. one of the best in my opinion.
Can you give me A Chance I Care you always
Janelle Monae is always so beautiful. She is so unique. Austin Butler gives off Brad Pitt vibes to the max!
Austin seems like a very old soul. ✨ that voice of his 💛
I love Austin and Janelle's chemistry. Their interview exchanges were more like two people sitting on a couch getting to know one another over a cup of cappuccino. 🥰💯❤💋🖤🌪
Two of the sexiest voices in Hollywood right now
The beauty and chemestry in this two...wow. I could listen them all day
Austin is irresistable. Dude is smoking hot.
Unbelievable chemistry, I just want to see more of them now lol
this was like an asmr video, they both have such relaxing voices
Can you give me A Chance for Work I Care you always
I absolutely loved this interview with Austin and Janelle! They both are so wonderful to listen to and their diverse backgrounds growing up. Austin comes across as a gentle soul and I couldn't take my eyes of this interview. Fantastic interview!!!!
this was a phenomenal pairing, you can tell they have mutual admiration for one another
The duo I never thought I needed.
Having Austin Butler and Janelle Monae in the same room is mind-blowing 💯💯💯
This was a lovely pairing. They seemed very comfortable with each other. It was a great conversation. Would love to see them work together some day.
Can you give me A Chance for Work I Care you always
The chemistry is there. I agree a .movie the two of them would be great
@@ChrisC-zt3qy can you give me chance for work
Damn.... he's so handsome 😍
We know
Wow, wow, and WOW-his level of CHILL, his steady gaze, and his VOICE!!!
She’s beautiful.
Aww, so sweet. I just said he should take her to Disney Land, and then he said it. I love him so much!
I hope he does take her to Disneyland ❤
Love Janelle Monae so much!!!!! She is the epitome of what it means to be an ICON.
Hasn’t done enough to be considered an ICON…….. yet
@@thesaintst1851 She may not be an icon but she is definitely an artist from vocalist to dancer to songwriter to innovator (as seen in Archandroid) to actor.
they both have such charisma and charm and it makes this conversation really rich and in depth it doesn't feel overpowered by either of them. and of course, they're both so attractive!
Sorry mate, but she has 0 charm, she is annoying, she was literally trying to make it all about herself.
Janelle needs her own Barbara Walters type show. She is a spectacular interviewer. It is so nice to see Austin get this credit.
No stop reducing black women to being interviewers
@@i.i1215 right, she is the star!!! Not the person interviewing the star. It has been a long time coming, she deserves every minute of her shine!!!!
She is the ELECTRIC LADY. I wish I could go into the future to see her amazing legacy in full
I love how much they relate to each other and have the exact same experiences in acting, I loved this conversation
As a former theater kid and a vocal coach I absolutely love these two and their convos!! I could listen to them talk all day!!!
Can you give me A Chance I Care you always
What a fabulous interview! They were both completely present throughout the entire interview and so respectful of each other. And they both did their homework. Great connection between the two of them. I could watch hours of them talking.❤
Can you give me A Chance I Care you always
He is so mesmerisizing ! The way he speaks , what he says , the way he decribes things and situations , his humbleness .... You just wanna listen to him with open ears and eyes without a single minute of disruption...
Everyone is saying this is such a calm interview but I see this as two people genuinely talking to each other and experiencing each other’s presence.
How can any normal person contain themselves throughout this whole interview😍 this was too good!
I never expected this power duo
In addition to them being so thoughtful and sweet and serious and soothing, they're both so gorgeous I almost can't look directly at them.😎
both have such a calm and a pleasant personality
Janelle is so gorgeous
Austin is just mesmerizing! The fact that he doesn't know how handsome and awesome he is, makes my heart melt.
This was such an introspective interview with both actors. It’s beautiful to see their mutual respect, support and admiration for each other. They’re inquisitive and learning from each other. He’s such a gentleman and she’s such a lady! Fantastic interview of Austin and Janelle! Thank you! ❤🤩❤️✌🏻🎵🎬👏🏻
I literally wasn’t sure I was ready to watch this yet, but the way they communicate and how calm the vibe that this entire interview gave off, I love it! I love it so much!
I did not know this man’s voice was this deep and soothing
They have a lovely chemistry-I hope they will be in a film together sometime. Really enjoyed their conversation about their art, their their inspiration and the respect they have for themselves and each other.
What an amazing conversation! Janelle was the star in Glass Onion and Austin did an amazing job as Elvis.
Can you give me A Chance I Care you always
I want them together soo bad
Me too 😭
OMFG, I could not concentrate. She looks so got damn fabulous!!! The look is iconic, ElECTRIC LADY!
So bummed when this was over. This was so good and they are both hip, gorgeous, and terrific actors! Yeah, we need a part two of this!
Am I sensing chemistry here?
These two have GREAT CHEMISTRY.
This is such a great discussion. Im so glad they talked about church, and music in church. Both had Christian upbringing, and this is so beautiful.
Yasss I knew Aus was a Christian because he brought Vanessa to church but otherwise he’s just been this lovely and kind soul who has not said much about his religious beliefs so I am PUMPED to go watch the rest of this!!!
Austin, I saw a side of you that was relaxed, calm, and peaceful. You and Janelle really did an excellent job together. I hope to see both of you in a movie or performing together.
this interview is so amazing i remember watching it a few months after elvis came out I love it
Janelle Monáe has been part of my journey for a lot of years. It was really great to hear some of the depth of her experiences and processes. I didn't know of Austin Butler until the Elvis movie. One of the comments Ms. Monáe made about the artists and souls that influenced Elvis the person was definitely evident in that movie. Also, the movie didn't focus so much on the soap opera life portrayed in media as I was growing up but, rather, the choices Elvis had to make. I didn't think I'd ever dislike a Tom Hanks character. Watching this film, I did. That was heartbreaking. So was Elvis's life.
Janelle Monae is so pretty 😍
Austin Butler was so incredible playing Elvis. He captured his voice, presence, and mannerisms perfectly. I hope he will get an Oscars nomination for Best Actor this year! Austin is also very sexy too.
Does Austin Butler talk like this ?!! Geez what a voice .. Janelle is stunning and intelligent ❤
I can only imagine what it's like to have the opportunity to sit down and just have a honest and chill conversation with both these beautiful humans. This was a treat
OMG! I second everything everyone is saying. This is so EPIC! I've enjoyed some other Actors on Actors but this one is too phenomenal for words!!! Something sooooo charismatic and charming about them both, and both so genuine with their soothing voices!! They admire and respect each other. THEY ARE BOTH SO PRESENT! It felt like they were best friends or on a date at the same time. LOL!! Need an acting or music project with these two STAT!!!
Austin has come so far In his acting career im glad to be seeing people taking him seriously now
Came here for Jane, but this man’s speaking voice is INCREDIBLE
He's adorable! She's awesome!
monáe is so admirable ❤
Two insanely charismatic and creative people having a wonderful conversation.
