Austin Butler Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Austin Butler is riding high in October 2025 with major career momentum following the theatrical release of his action comedy Caught Stealing, which hit theaters back in late August. The Darren Aronofsky-directed film, where Butler stars alongside Zoe Kravitz and Bad Bunny, has been generating significant buzz for its intense physical demands and Butler's jaw-dropping stunts. In the film, he plays Hank, a former baseball player turned dive bar worker who gets mixed up with ruthless mafiosos in 1990s New York.
The production nearly hit a major snag on day one when Butler could barely walk after repeatedly climbing apartment stairs during filming. The shocking culprit? A piece of glass that had been lodged in his foot for eight months after walking barefoot on a red carpet during the Dune press tour in Korea. Physical therapist Michelle Rodriguez, who previously worked on Black Swan, literally took a scalpel and cut the glass out of his foot without numbing it. According to multiple entertainment outlets, Aronofsky joked that Butler would have been limping for the rest of his life if not for that intervention, and remarkably, Butler was running again just two days later.
Earlier this year, Butler appeared in the A24 Western comedy thriller Eddington alongside Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal, and Joaquin Phoenix, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May. During the red carpet premiere, a memorable moment unfolded when Butler and Pascal heroically tried to help Stone fend off a persistent bee that wouldn't leave her alone, with the incident going viral and spawning countless memes across social media.
Most recently, Butler just wrapped filming Enemies, another A24 crime thriller where he stars opposite Jeremy Allen White in Chicago. Butler told Elle magazine that he spent the last month and a half on night shoots, completely throwing off his circadian rhythm. He also revealed that White smells amazing, describing it as a beautiful combination of cologne and fresh cigarettes.
Looking ahead, Butler is reportedly in talks for Michael Mann's highly anticipated Heat 2, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Driver, and Bradley Cooper, though no official offers have been made yet.
