Cartier appoints Austin Butler as newest ambassador

The ‘Elvis’ actor says ‘Thank you. Thank you very much!’

You may recognize his striking looks from the pre-“Sex and the City” series “The Carrie Diaries,” where he played a young love interest to Carrie Bradshaw. More recently, he appeared in the horror-comedy movie “The Dead Don’t Die,” starring side by side with Selena Gomez.

In his biggest role yet, Austin portrays Elvis Presley in the film “Elvis,” which is set to soon premiere worldwide. However, if you haven’t gotten wind of this epic film, here’s your chance to know more about the actor as he takes more roles in the fashion industry.

Just in time for the premier of “Elvis” in Cannes Film Festival, Cartier announced that the actor is the maison’s newest ambassador. “We are delighted to welcome Austin into the Maison as an Ambassador for North America,” said Arnaud Carrez, Cartier’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “As a talented actor, Austin’s bold approach to life and unique sense of style are inherently aligned with our core values here at Cartier.”

Upon the appointment, Austin also expressed his thoughts: “I am thrilled and honored to begin this exciting relationship with Cartier. I have long been an admirer of the Maison’s creativity and innovation, and I’m very much looking forward to the work we will be doing together in the future.”
