Kelly Clarkson hilariously dragged Austin Butler during her talk show on Friday. The American Idol winner, 42, was left visibly impressed by the actor, 32, after his Bikeriders co-star Jodie Comer revealed that he makes his own pottery and gifts the pieces to friends.
Could you be any hotter? Like, what the hell,
Kelly responded with a laugh. Do you save children in your spare time? You volunteer for the Boy Scouts? What else, Austin? Goodness!
The subtle compliments continued after Austin shared that he had acquired his pottery skills during his time living in London. You know what? This is rude to all men living everywhere,
Kelly quipped. No, that’s super cool.
Austin and Jodie chatted with Kelly to promote their new film The Bikeriders, which tells the fictional story of a Chicago outlaw motorcycle club called The Vandals and is inspired by photographer Danny Lyon’s 1967 portfolio of the same name. The action-drama follows the tumultuous rise of the fictional 1960s Midwestern motorcycle club as it goes from a gathering place for local outsiders to a more sinister gang.
Austin’s character Benny comes into conflict with the biker gang’s leader Johnny, played by Tom Hardy, as the group begins to shift towards more criminal dealings. Jodie stars as Benny’s girlfriend Kathy while the cast also features other big names including Norman Reedus and Michael Shannon.
Despite Kelly’s efforts to compliment Austin, the matinee idol only has eyes for his girlfriend Kaia Gerber, whom he kissed at The Bikeriders premiere.
The Oscar-nominated star was spotted sneaking a smooch with the stunning model, 22, at the event. In a viral video shared by ET, Austin navigates through the red carpet crowd before meeting Kaia and quickly stealing a kiss. Dressed in a distinctive all-black suit without a shirt, Austin then places his hand on Kaia’s back as she dazzles in a chic mini dress.
Hollywood’s It couple led a cavalcade of stars at the event, including Jodie Comer, Jason Momoa, Cher, Norman Reedus, Mario Lopez and more. The PDA display comes after Austin traveled Down Under earlier this month to attend the much-awaited Australian premiere of the crime thriller at Sydney Film Festival.
Austin is no stranger to Australia having previously spent time Down Under filming for Baz Luhrmann’s smash hit Elvis. Taking on the leading role of Elvis Presley, Austin spent a considerable amount of time shooting on the Gold Coast for the epic. His portrayal of the King of Rock and Roll earned him a Golden Globe and a BAFTA, along with an Academy Award nomination.
