After receiving his first Golden Globe Award, Austin Butler gave a heartwarming acceptance speech.

Butler also thanked Denzel Washington, who he starred alongside on the 2018 Broadway production of “The Iceman Cometh.

“Oh, man, all my words are leaving me. I am just so grateful right now. I’m in this room full of my heroes,” Austin Butler began his acceptance speech before voicing his admiration for Brad Pitt and director Quentin Tarantino.

 “I owe this to a bold, visionary filmmaker who allowed me the experience to take risks and I always knew I would be supported. I love you, Baz Luhrmann" Butler said.

Butler thanked Luhrmann for believing in him in those moments that he didn’t even believe in himself.

"I’m so grateful to you. I also want to thank my dance partner, the greatest dance partner I could have ever hoped for, Mr. Tom Hanks" Butler said.



 “Lastly, Elvis Presley himself, you are an icon and a rebel. I love you so much. Thank you. You are remembered and I will never forget thank you!” Butler said.
