Former child actor Austin Butler donned blue collar fashion after finally admitting that his Memphis twang was a put on and that he is getting rid of it.
The 31-year-old actor was seen arriving at a Los Angeles hotel on Monday in a workwear-inspired ensemble that would make a construction worker jealous.

The former boyfriend of Vanessa Hudgens gushed about that pair of lace-up footwear in a "GQ video last year as he said with his signature Memphis drawl: 'These, I found at a vintage store in New York and I just tried 'em on.
'And I've got some others that are, you know, that this part comes up further but these are just so comfortable.'

He went on to say what made him really fall in love with the boots was seeing Brad Pitt's character in 1999 film Fight Club wear a similar pair.
Austin explained: 'And then I ended up watching Fight Club one day and seeing Tyler Durden, I believe he's got the same boots in one of the scenes and he wears them unlaced. And I thought it made me like 'em even more.
'I never know until I try on a boot, but you know, some just they feel right when you put 'em on.'
This comes just days after Austin finally admitted that his baffling Memphis accent was put on for the Elvis movie, in an interview for Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show.
The actor, who adopted a Southern drawl after playing Elvis in the 2022 biopic, baffled fans at the Golden Globes by continuing to speak with the singer's famous voice.
Previously, Austin's voice coach, Irene Bartlett, defended him, telling ABC's Gold Coast the 'accent is genuine' and 'might stay forever.'
And now the star has admitted to show host Graham Norton that he is still trying to get rid of the twang, almost two years after the film wrapped.
Explaining why he still sounds like Elvis, Austin said: 'I am getting rid of the accent, but I have probably damaged my vocal cords with all that singing. One song took 40 takes!'
