The interview above is worth watching for Austin Butler's impressively raspy voice alone, but the Elvis impressions are the icing on the cake.

Explaining to Jimmy Fallon how he modified his voice depending on the era in Baz Lurhmann's upcoming Elvis biopic in which he stars, Butler goes on to give an example of three different accents he uses at various points in the singer's career — from when he was 19, 21, and then later on in his 40s. And he pretty much nails every one.

Come for the impressions, stay for the brief dance lesson he gives to Fallon right at the end.
