NEWSCindy Crawford Hilariously Weighs in on Austin Butler's 'Never-Ending Elvis Accent': Watch
Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber, is dating actor Austin Butler.
What accent?
On the Wednesday, July 24, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Cindy Crawford, 58, was asked what she thought about daughter Kaia Gerber’s boyfriend Austin Butler’s Elvis accent.
The supermodel played a game called Plead The Fifth, where she was required to answer some awkward questions or chose to not plead the fifth.
Andy Cohen asked: “Your daughter Kaia is famously dating Austin Butler. What was your take on his never-ending Elvis accent?”
Cindy Crawford was asked to reflect on her daughter's boyfriend's accent after starring as Elvis.
“That's Austin to me,” Cindy replied about the actor’s famous voice change. “I didn't know that he was from Anaheim.”
Butler was bashed online for continuing his Elvis accent long after the 2022 movie was over, however, when Gerber and Butler began dating in December 2021 filming had wrapped.
Austin Butler has been criticized for using his Elvis accent after filming the movie.
“He's from Anaheim?” the show’s other guest, Colman Domingo, 54, said of the California city.
“Yeah, that's where he grew up. But he spent so long being Elvis that I think it just stuck. And so to me, that's just Austin. I didn't know him pre-Elvis, so that's just Austin to me,” Crawford shared.
“You guys, she did not Plead The Fifth,” the host concluded.
Elsewhere in the game, Crawford was asked to name a designer she would never work with again.

As for Gerber and Butler, the two will approach three years together at the end of 2024. Though they have largely kept their relationship from the spotlight, an insider previously gave insight into their romance.
Austin Butler is 10 years older than Kaia Gerber.
"They’re very much in love. He’s always at her place, and she’s always at his place, so they figured why not just live together," the source revealed.
"It sounds cheesy, but their relationship is the real deal," they dished. "After two weeks of dating, Kaia told him that she loves him, and now she’s asked him to move into her Los Angeles home!"
Despite their 10-year age difference, the couple have made their relationship work.
Additionally, the insider spilled that Crawford and hubby Rande Gerber are on board with their daughter dating the heartthrob.
