“If you just jump off the train, you might have emotional whiplash,” Hanks told Butler.
Austin Butler revealed that Tom Hanks pitched him his new series Masters of the Air over concern for his mental health following his role in Elvis.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Butler spoke about his meeting with Hanks and how his role in his new miniseries came about.
The actor, 31, revealed that he and Hanks, 67, were at dinner together after wrapping on Elvis, when he was pitched the World War II series.
The pair had starred in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic of the iconic singer together, which released in 2022 and was well received by critics and audiences. Butler played the titular role of Elvis Presley, while Hanks played manager “Colonel” Tom Parker.
“‘You have immersed yourself so deeply in Elvis that, for your mental health, it would be wise to go straight into something else,'” Butler says Hanks told him. “‘If you just jump off the train, you might have emotional whiplash . . . ‘”

“‘And, you know, I’ve got this thing that I’m producing,'” continued Butler, revealing Hanks’ conversation.
Butler has acknowledged that his adoption of Elvis’s accent persisted on after filming without him being aware of it, having identified with the King for so long.
““It’s what I realised doing Elvis — that forced me to go to the very edge of what is possible, and not every experience will be like that,” said Butler of filming the biopic.
“I don’t think I’ll ever have an experience like that again, but if I really have to dig, it makes me feel alive.”
Masters of the Air, which is produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman, follows WWII airmen who “risk their lives with the 100th Bomb Group, a brotherhood forged by courage, loss, and triumph,” according to the Apple TV+ description.

Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926u00a0u2013 August 5, 1962), born Norma Jeane Mortenson, but baptized Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer and model. After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to leading roles. Her “dumb blonde” persona was used to comedic effect in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range, and her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination, and she received a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959).nThe final years of Monroe’s life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with.
