The Moulin Rouge director further recalled, “I went to Austin and said the movie was over.” However, Butler had flatly stated at the time, “I’m not going.”
“We held this child as something precious because his mission was to be born and bring audiences back to theaters, and the fact that it really happened is the reason I’m here now,” he added.

The actor then revealed that when filming wrapped, he had an “existential crisis,” adding that the reasoning was because he “didn’t do anything that was Austin-based at the time.”
“I didn’t talk to my family or my friends or anyone. I would talk to them every two months or so, but I really lost contact with me. But I also learned things about myself, that’s a beautiful gift.’
The 2023 Golden Globe Awards, which will celebrate its 80th anniversary, will air next week on January 10 and will be hosted by Emmy-winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael.
