    "During #Elvis, I didn't see my family for about three years," Austin Butler tells Janelle Monáe. "I had months where I wouldn't talk to anybody, and when I did, the only thing I was ever thinking about was Elvis." https://t.co/wNhSd0YD6e

    "But that’s not true. I’ve always sounded like this, and I can prove it. Here's a clip from an interview I did 10 years ago," he said, before an old interview of him on a red carpet started playing.

    In the clip, his voice is pitched wayyyyyy up, like chipmunk-y. It was a funny way to address the accusations that his voice changed.
