Austin Butler recalls trippy Bad Bunny concert after taking edible: 'My brain is in two movies'
Austin Butler didn't need a glass of "Pitorro de Coco" to get into the Bad Bunny spirit. The Oscar-nominated actor, 33, opened up about his now-viral concert experience attending Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, during an Aug. 12 appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." At one point during the show, the Grammy-winning reggaeton superstar invited Butler to join him onstage, as seen in fan footage shared on social media. The "Elvis" star could be seen grooving to the music, swaying his hips and clapping to the beat, as Bad Bunny performed for fans. Butler told "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that his concert euphoria wasn't just a musical high. "Somebody gave me an edible right before the show, and I thought that was a good idea at the time," Butler said. "Then it turns out we're in like, a casita, a house that is basically the second stage. (Bad Bunny) comes, and he's on that stage at one point." He continued: "The edible is working. So, it's like my brain is in two movies. One is like, 'Benito and I had lunch earlier in the day, I'm just like, so proud of him.' I'm watching him going, 'Oh my God, look how much you mean to everyone here.' I'm like, falling in love with Puerto Rican culture and the dancing, and everybody is so sexy and amazing." Bad Bunny kicked off his concert residency on July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, the island's largest indoor arena. The "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos" singer is expected to continue his performances every weekend through Sept. 14, followed by a world tour that commences in November. Bad Bunny makes history with residency. It's not the first time he's set records. Why Austin Butler felt like he needed to 'hide' his dancing at Bad Bunny concert Butler wanted to have a blast at Bad Bunny's residency concert, but not at the expense of his amigo, Benito. During his "Tonight Show" interview, Butler said he didn't want his onstage cameo to outshine Bad Bunny's performance. Bad Bunny setlist: All the songs on his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency "The other part of me is like, 'Don't dance because you'll take attention away from him. This is his moment,' " Butler explained. "So I'm like, 'hide.' My body is saying 'hide,' but then the music is so good, and it's like in my bones at that point." The actor said this inner conflict influenced his low-key dance moves at the show: "I ended up just swaying my hips while crossing my arms. For whatever reason, every time I uncrossed my arms, I felt like I was drawing attention to myself, so I was like, 'This is OK.' "

Adam Scott just revealed how long 'Severance' takes to film — and that could be bad news for season 3
At this point, we've been conditioned to wait a long time for "Severance" episodes. The sci-fi thriller debuted on Apple TV Plus on Feb. 18, 2022 ... and then it took another 35 months to get the season premiere of "Severance" season 2. Last month, when I wrote about Apple TV Plus head of programming Matt Cherniss signaling that season 3 could be over a year away, people were bummed, but not exactly shocked. But now we have a clearer picture of why it takes so long for new "Severance" episodes to be made. On yesterday's (Aug. 12) episode of the podcast "Good Hang with Amy Poehler," her former "Parks and Recreation" co-star, and star of "Severance," Adam Scott, sat down with her and revealed just how long it takes to film an episode of the Emmy-nominated show. "Well, it depends," Scott told his former TV wife when asked about how long it takes to film a single episode of the show. "It's long. Season 2, I think it was 186 days for the season. Which is a long time." Scott then broke it down further. "I think one episode took like six weeks and then it's averaged out because we shoot them three at a time, all mixed up together." Season 1 took even longer to film. "Season 1," Scott elaborated, "we shot the entire thing at once. So like, in month nine, we were still shooting scenes from the first episode." Still, Scott believes that this approach to filming multiple episodes at a time works to the benefit of Apple's acclaimed drama. "The accidental thing that that did," he said, referring to season 1, specifically, "You know the first few episodes of any show are a little shaky and everyone is finding their tone a little bit or their characters or whatever? It spread that out over the entire season. So it kind of felt, more or less, fully realized." Scott now joins a long list of people hammering home the point that this show takes a long time to make. Weeks-long shoots for a single episode — half a year spent filming season 2 alone — mean that annual season premieres just aren't feasible. To be fair, nobody has been promising a quick turnaround. Back in March, executive producer Ben Stiller told the ITV morning show "This Morning" that "Severance" season 3 is coming "as fast as possible," but not that it'd be here any time soon.

Apple TV Plus gives you access to amazing originals with exciting new shows dropping all summer long. That timeline gets especially drawn out when filming hasn't even started. In his comments last month, Cherniss said that production had yet to begin on "Severance" season 3, meaning if they started filming today, they probably wouldn't even be done filming the next season of the show until the end of winter in 2026. There, admittedly, has been some mixed messaging on that front. While Cherniss says production hasn't started, in January, Stiller gave a production update on season 3 and revealed that the show's creative team was already working on the new season. A month later, in February, Stiller repeated his claim that "Severance" was already back in production, right before Apple officially greenlit season 3. It's entirely possible this is just a case of Cherniss meaning "filming" when he says production, and Stiller referring to the early pre-production work, including writing scripts. If that's the case, both of them are probably telling the truth. But regardless, I can't imagine this show entering post-production until mid-2026, at which point Apple probably holds season 3 for a January or February Apple TV Plus release date in 2027, just like it did for season 1 in 2022 and season 2 in 2025. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023.
