As I delve into this captivating narrative, I find myself awestruck by the extraordinary journey of Austin Butler, a talented artist whose career trajectory is nothing short of remarkable. From his humble beginnings as a child star on Nickelodeon to his meteoric rise to A-list stardom, his tale resonates deeply with me, a fellow traveler on the winding road of showbiz.


On Thursday, during the filming of “Caught Stealing“, Austin Butler darted ahead of a taxi, taking part in the production. This was all while Zoe Kravitz was also involved in the shoot.

In the thrilling series, the 33-year-old actor portrays Hank Thompson, a man once active in baseball who unknowingly gets entangled in the crime-ridden world of 1990s New York City’s underbelly.

In a new role, Zoe, aged 35, is set to portray her character Yvonne, who will be romantically involved with him. The pair were seen locking lips in a passionate kiss just a few days ago.

Sporting a much longer hairstyle, Austin looked grungy in a Cherry Tavern T-shirt – an East Village dive bar – and khaki cargos. 

Meanwhile, Zoe wore a 90s style slip dress, with a black cardigan and lace-up Dr Marten boots.

Back in late September, the camera started rolling for “Caught Stealing” – a moment that came six whole months after I had been officially cast! As an obsessed fan, it felt surreal to be part of this production, eagerly waiting for my chance to shine on set.

On September 21, it was Zoe’s debut on set, as filming had started for the actors in New York City on September 25.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I simply can’t contain my excitement about the cinematic masterpiece, “Caught Stealing,” a movie that breathes life into Charlie Huston’s 2004 novel of the same name. Guess who penned both the book and the screenplay? None other than the brilliant author himself!

According to Deadline, the movie centers around Hank Thompson (Butler), a weary ex-baseball player who finds himself unexpectedly thrust into a thrilling battle for survival amidst the gritty criminal underground of 90’s New York City.

This high-profile crime drama showcases acting talents like Regina King, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Matt Smith, and Bad Bunny.

On Wednesday’s shoot, Matt sported an almost unbelievable appearance with a vibrant, multi-hued mohawk, a rugged studded leather jacket, and slim plaid trousers.

The Doctor Who alum, 41, did not film any scenes with Austin or Zoe. 

As a diehard admirer, I can’t contain my excitement as I delve into the captivating news that Austin has landed his newest high-profile part, following his stunning performance in Dune: Part Two, the box office sensation of 2024!

The follow-up to Dune, featuring stars like Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh, has amassed a staggering $700 million globally since its theater release in March.

Last year, Austin garnered his inaugural Golden Globe award and a nomination for the Oscar’s Best Actor category, all thanks to his exceptional performance as the legendary music figure Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s critically-acclaimed 2022 musical biopic.

Elvis propelled his career to the top tier of Hollywood stardom, approximately twenty years following his rise to fame in the early 2000s when he was a popular child actor on Nickelodeon.

In June, Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer’s newest movie titled “The Bikeriders” is set to be released in cinemas, boasting an impressive 80% ‘fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
