Austin Butler has proved himself something of a savant at playing aloof beauties like the impulsive Benny in The Bikeriders, the cultish internet grifter Vernon in , the sociopathic princeling Feyd-Rautha in Dune: Part Two, or Elvis - men whose vacancy only enhances their undeniable magnetism. But in Darren Aronofsky's new '90s-set crime comedy Caught Stealing, Butler plays a character who doesn't get the benefit of being perceived primarily from a distance, and it's a fascinatingly terrible fit.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Butler shared that not only did he think he'd be given the opportunity to simply disappear into the audience with all the other attendees, but he was also given an edible just before the show.
