Austin Butler made quite an impression on an Australian television host on Monday night.
The American actor was appearing on The Project, where he sat for an interview with Sarah Harris.
However the 32-year-old’s intense gaze was all too much for the television journalist, who admitted he had left her ‘nervous’.
‘When you are sitting this enclose he is to one of the biggest movie stars on the planet it’s hard not to get a little flustered’ the 42-year-old confessed.
‘You do this thing when you look into someone’s soul, I’m getting it now, you have a very piercing gaze’ she added.

‘You have a piercing gaze too’ Austin teased back, to which a blushing Sarah replied, ‘Do I?’
‘Yeah, I’d say so’ Austin drawled, with Sarah giggling, ‘You’re making me nervous now!’
It was Austin who found himself starstruck recently.
While promoting his latest film The Bikeriders, on Today, the Golden Globe winner told anchor Savannah Guthrie about one actor he was too shy to talk to after what could have been a spur of the moment meeting.

‘I was just telling that story about getting starstruck by Ryan Gosling recently,’ he said.
‘It’s when you don’t expect to see somebody,’ he relayed, adding, ‘so I saw him outside of a hotel that I was staying in and I had to go in through another door, I couldn’t say “hello.”‘
‘I grew up admiring him so much, so.. I love that feeling,’ the Dune: Part Two star admitted.
The naturally shy Elvis star opened up about his admiration for The Fall Guy star in an interview with BBC Radio One’s The Story So Far.

He began by describing a recent encounter with three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep.
‘I was very nervous, but somebody, Judd Apatow of all people, facilitated me being able to go up and say ‘hello’ to her. And we talked for a while and she was so sweet.’
‘You know, somebody who I’ve never met though is Ryan Gosling,’ the Masters of the Air star admitted, ‘and I really looked up to him a lot… I have so much respect for him.’
The former Disney star said he and Gosling, another alum of the Mouse House, ‘had the same sort of trajectory of being very young.’

He explained that projects such as Blue Valentine and Lars and the Real Girl ‘came out ‘right at the time where I was kind of coming into a real appreciation of acting and films…It really impacted me.’
At the end of the interview, movie critic Ali Plumb said ‘we’re going to get you Ryan Gosling’s phone number.’
‘There you go,’ Butler said, ‘my heart just fluttered hearing you say that.’
The versatile actor has several projects in his queue, including the recently completed Eddington, with Oscar winner Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal.
The plot for the film has been kept under wraps, so fans will have to wait until its expected 2025 release to learn more.
Butler has also signed on to star in the crime thriller Caught Stealing with director Darren Aronofsky.
He will also headline the action adventure City on Fire.
