So naturally, many social media customers had been scratching their heads and questioning why Austin tried to wash the actress from the story, particularly contemplating folks have heard it earlier than. Some even slammed him for not giving Vanessa any credit score, because the film has been an enormous success for him, even incomes him his first Golden Globe award and Oscar nomination. But it seems like The Carrie Diaries star has seen the error of his methods and eventually given credit score the place credit score is due.
In an interview with The Los Angeles Times printed on Tuesday, Austin confessed Vanessa was the one who inspired him to exit for the position in Baz Luhrmann’s movie Elvis. He mentioned:
“I was with my partner at the time. We’d been together for so long and she had this sort of clairvoyant moment and so I really, I owe her a lot for believing in me.”
In the phrases of Lizzo, it’s about rattling time! LOLz! Vanessa hasn’t responded to her ex-boyfriend’s newest remarks. However, she hasn’t been afraid to throw some shade at him – so we’ll see if she takes a second to react quickly!
