" This guy has never really been on my radio detection and ranging but hello . "

I’m officially adding “flirt” to Austin Butler’s resume.

Because the energy that he had atThe BikeridersAustralian premiere on Thursday…WHEW. 🥵

Austin was supposed to be interviewed by 7Bravo host Lucia Hawley (who happens to be Nicole Kidman’s niece), but instead of talking about himself or the film, he appearedmore interestedin talking about her.

He asked about her hometown…

Her age…

Her interests….

They also talked about how wet and dry they were despite the rain in Sydney — which I feel like I shouldn’t be watching, IDK.

When Lucia giggled and said she was supposed to be the one doing the interview, Austin sheepishly said, “I don’t like talking about myself” — and then proceeded to ask her questions.

The internet was obviously very…aroused.

One Reddit usersaid, “I don’t even like this dude like that but this had me giggling lol.” Anotherwrote, “[That’s] literally my reaction, this guy has never really been on my radar but hello.”

“He could charm the pants right off of me any time,” a third fanagreed.

Someone elsesaid, “woah, might need him actually 🙂‍↕️,” while a fifth fanwrote, “I saw someone say I’d be leaving this interview asking what are we 😭.”
