Actor Austin Butler, known for his role as Elvis Presley in the biopic Elvis, has undergone an impressive physical transformation for his latest role in Caught Stealing. The 34-year-old star has traded his previously rounded physique for a more muscular, athletic look to play Hank Thompson, a former baseball prodigy sidelined by injury.

Director Darren Aronofsky, renowned for his work on Black Swan, pushed Butler to focus on his physical appearance to make his character credible. Butler teamed up with renowned Hollywood trainer Beth Lewis, who has worked with the likes of Hugh Jackman, to achieve his new look.

Butler’s goal was to move away from the soft, rounded physique he had for his Oscar-nominated role in Elvis. For Caught Stealing, he worked on building wide shoulders, chiseled legs, and a physique ready for action. Butler told Men’s Health that he increased his weight from 78 to 84 kilos, with a routine of daily training and calibrated diets.

Fans are eagerly anticipating Butler’s new look on the big screen. Adding to the excitement is the presence of Zoe Kravitz in the cast. The two have been rumored to have a harmonious off-screen relationship, fueling Hollywood gossip, although neither has confirmed it yet.

• Beth Lewis, Butler’s trainer, is also known for her work with stars like Hugh Jackman and Chris Hemsworth.
• Butler’s role in Caught Stealing marks a departure from his previous roles, allowing him to showcase a new side of his acting range.
