Austin Butler opened up and shared a heart-wrenching story about his late mother
Austin Butler opened up and shared a heart-wrenching story about his late mother years after she died in 2014 from cancer.
The actor, 31, suffered from depression following her untimely death when he was 23 and revealed a childhood memory he shared with Lori during promotion for his new Yves Saint Laurent fragrance.
He explained his earliest memory of a lasting scent and opted to reflect on the years his mother was still alive when picking an anecdote to attach to his favourite smell.
The Elvis star said: ‘Interestingly it is the orange blossom,’ when questioned about his strongest scent-related memory.
At the beginning of the year, the Oscar-nominated star spoke about his mum Lori and shared how her death had impacted him.
He told The Hollywood Reporter in January: ‘After my mom passed away, I’d never experienced pain like that before, and I started to question. ‘I was dealing with grief, but it was also this feeling that I wasn’t aligned with something that felt truly fulfilling.
