Harry Styles and Elvis Presley are both pop-culture sensations who crossed over to movies after wildly successful music careers. But for “Elvis” director Baz Luhrmann, their status as generational icons made Styles a poor choice to play The King in his new biopic.

Harry Styles is known for his record-breaking success, and his impact has even reached ‘Elvis’ director Baz Luhrmann, who recently explained why he prefered not to cast the singer in the highly anticipated biopic starring Austin Butler as the legendary musician.The successful artist was excited to have the opportunity to get into the role of Elvis Presley, however the coveted role was desired by many other Hollywood stars, and ultimately went to Butler, partly because Denzel Washington mentored the actor onstage and convinced Luhrmann to give him the role.And when asked about his decision to cast Butler instead of Styles, the director revealed he would be thrilled to “work on something with him” but his worldwide success as a singer was the reason for him not to be included in the cast of the long awaited film, adding that Butler was “born to play” Elvis.“Harry is a really talented actor,” Luhrmann said during a recent interview in the ‘Fitzy & Wippa’ podcast on Monday, declaring that “the real issue with Harry is, he’s Harry Styles. He’s already an icon.”“Harry and I came to a place, genuinely I mean, he was just desperate to put the suit on and explore.

Harry Styles wasn’t cast in his Elvis Presley biopic and, honestly, it makes total sense. The filmmaker reckons the Grammy Award winning musician is just too much of an ‘icon’ to play Presley, which is surely the nicest job rejection you could possibly get. As It Was hitmaker Styles went for the lead role in Luhrmann’s biopic of The King, but ultimately lost out to Austin Butler.

Zack Sharf Harry Styles’s film career is set to explode later this year thanks to roles in films such as “Don’t Worry Darling” and “My Policeman,” but the pop star would’ve had an even bigger movie debut in 2022 had he nabbed the starring role in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.” Styles was a serious contender to play Elvis Presley, but Luhrmann opted to cast Austin Bustler instead. The filmmaker recently opened up to to the Australian radio podcast “Fitzy & Wippa” (via Uproxx) about why he rejected Styles.“Harry is a really talented actor. I would work on something with him [but] the real issue with Harry is, he’s Harry Styles,” Luhrmann said.

Baz Luhrmann revealed why Harry Styles wasn’t cast as Elvis Presley in the upcoming “Elvis” movie in a new interview.
