Austin Butler Opens Up About Growing Up as a Child Star, Memories With Selena Gomez & His Actor Inspiration in 'Vanity Fair' Interview

On running into Selena Gomez and other stars he grew up with…

“Yeah. When I was filming Elvis, Selena found this photograph of the two of us when I did a guest-star thing on her show Wizards of Waverly Place. And she sends it to me, just going, ‘Wow, remember this?’ It feels like another life. When you’re a child actor, you see so many people come in from Texas or something, and at a certain point they may quit or go back. We’re just so fortunate to have careers in this industry for this amount of time.”
