AfterThe Bikeriders, I am not worried about Austin Butlers career.
Tons of actors make a certain sort of physicality a part of their identity and appeal.
This mans body, though!
Consider the evidence fromThe Bikeriders.
In nearly every scene as Chicago Vandals motorcycle club member Benny, Butler is working the hunch-and-tilt.
When flirting with his future wife, Kathy (Jodie Comer).
When turning down club president Johnnys (Tom Hardy) offer to become the next leader of the Vandals.
Butler isnt so tall that he can only meet people at their level by slanting and contorting.
Jim Jarmusch, explain yourself.
Look at Butlers Gumby-like skew on that horse.
Are this mans shoulderseverlevel?
Will anyone answer for this?
And if not, may I make some suggestions?
Butler is one of ourfew future A-list contenders.
Protect those vertebrae at all costs.
