Is Austin Butler Jewish Or Christian? Religion Revealed
Austin Butler is a Christian in real life, as well as he is portrayed in the movie Elvis. The actor never really revealed his religion himself, but his ex-girlfriend revealed him being a Christian in an interview with New York Times a while back when they were still together.
Venessa Hudgens, his ex-girlfriend, talked about how Austin helped Venessa regain her faith by taking her to Church Hillsong in Sydney.
Much suited for the actor with his passion for music, the actor took his girlfriend to a church where unlike the traditional classic church worships, the worshippers experience a rock concert vibe with followers praying as if it’s a rave.
