Hollywood A-lister Austin Butler served up drinks at an Austin watering hole Wednesday night after an advance screening of his new film Caught Stealing.
Viral videos showed the Elvis star taking drink orders — and mastering the art of eye contact — from behind the bar at Dirty Bill’s off of West 6th Street.
Earlier in the evening, the actor sat down for a chat about the advance screening at an Alamo Drafthouse with director Darren Aronofsky, known for critically acclaimed works such as Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler and The Whale.
The pair was joined by Texas film industry advocate Matthew McConaughey, who’s championed investing in the Lone Star State as a burgeoning movie mecca with incentives to attract more film production.
Caught Stealing follows a former baseball player, played by Butler, as he finds himself falling into the seedy underground of 1990s New York.
Others in the star-studded cast include Bad Bunny, Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Liev Schrieber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Carole Kane, Doctor Who‘s Matt Smith and more.
Caught Stealing hits theaters nationwide Aug. 29.
