Austin Butler goes viral awkward dancing at Bad Bunny concert, blames ‘eating edible', ‘didn't want attention'
Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, August 12, the 33-year-old actor said he had believed he would simply be in the audience.
Instead, they ended up on a secondary stage where the rapper performs during part of his set.
Butler said he had taken an edible 'right before the show,' calling it something that 'seemed like a good idea' at the time, until it kicked in.
The Elvis star joked that while he doesn't enjoy being the centre of attention, the combination of the music, atmosphere, and Puerto Rican culture made it impossible not to move.
'So, suddenly I'm on stage with Bad Bunny and the edible is working,' Butler said.
'It was wild … I'm falling in love with Puerto Rican culture and the dancing and everybody is so sexy and amazing… and then the other part of me is like, 'Don't dance, because you'll take attention away from him'.'
In the viral clip, Butler is seen smiling and swaying his hips with his arms crossed.
He explained that crossing his arms felt like a safe way to avoid stealing the spotlight while still enjoying the music. 'Every time I uncrossed my arms, I felt like I was drawing attention to myself. So I was like, 'This is okay,'' he said.
Butler also admitted he didn't want to be compared to 'the Ben Affleck thing at the Grammys' where viewers thought Affleck wasn't enjoying himself.
'You don't want to be the sad guy … but you also don't want to be the guy who's dancing crazy and drawing attention.'It was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez' memorable appearance at the Grammy's, that fuelled the first rumours of a rift.
Affleck quickly became an internet meme after JL was caught telling a very bored Affleck to enjoy himself.
JLo told him: 'Look more friendly. Look motivated.' before Affleck replied: 'I might'.

Margaret Qualley wants mom Andie MacDowell to date Bill Murray
Margaret Qualley is trying to set her mom, Andie McDowell, up on a date with Bill Murray. The Substance actress ran into the Ghostbusters actor and discovered he is living close to his Groundhog Day co-star, so she is keen to get them together, even though Bill, 74, admitted they hadn't really got on too well when making the 1993 film. Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday (15.08.25),Margaret said: "Literally tonight, Bill Murray - he pops into my backstage dressing room. "He's wearing a Piggly Wiggly [grocery store] shirt. I grew up in North Carolina and Piggly Wiggly is a Southern thing. "I find out he's living in Charleston and my mom's living in Charleston. "He was like, 'Your mom and I, we didn't get so along so good while we were making that movie.' He was like, 'You know, she took a long time to get her hair done and she didn't know her lines this one time.'" The 30-year-old star noted she had "heard a different story" from Andie - who also has Justin, 39, and Rainey, 36, with ex-husband Paul Qualley - about the events on set, but could still see the pair being able to "get together". She said: "I'm putting two and two together. "He's living in Charleston, she's living in Charleston. They've got this kind of rage towards each other, but maybe he's trying to make amends. She's single, he's single. They're both crazy. Let's get it together!" Margaret, who is married to Jack Antonoff, urged Bill to "circle back" to get her phone number if he was interested in reconnecting with Andie, and joked he would definitely do so "if he's got any sense at all" because he'd be the "luckiest guy in the world" if he did end up dating the 67-year-old actress. The Four Weddings and a Funeral actress previously insisted she "cares less" about finding love again now that she's older. She said on The Drew Barrymore Show: "You get older and you care less. I got really tired. People finally gave up, because everybody would say, 'So, is there a man?' I was just like, you know, years and years, years go by. Now, nobody asks me anymore. "I do think we've had such an evolution of who we are as human beings. "I do think that there is nothing wrong with being single, really. I have great female friends and I have some male friends that I like too."

According to the death certificate, seizures were listed as 'significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause.' The document also stated that no autopsy was performed, and Brandon was cremated. Brandon's cancer battle was not publicly known, although fans suspected something may have been happening with Kelly's family behind the scenes following a series of unexplained absences this year from her talk show. The Grammy-winner made an abrupt departure from The Kelly Clarkson Show several times during 2025 and did not offer a reason to her audience for the break.

(Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage) Many fans speculated Kelly, 43, was dealing with some kind of family hardship - but it was never publicly confirmed. Then, on August 6th, Kelly talked about Brandon's illness for the first time publicly in an Instagram post that announced she had to abruptly cancel the remainder of her Las Vegas residency shows for the month of August. She wrote: 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.' The following morning, on August 7th, Brandon's former company, Starstruck Entertainment, announced that he had passed away at the age of 48. 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away.

Kanye West lists properties as he's ‘desperate for money'
Kanye West is offloading two more of his properties in Los Angeles amid reports he's 'desperate for money'. According to The US Sun, the controversial rapper is selling both his burned-down church building in the San Fernando Valley and his derelict ranch in Calabasas. The 48-year-old Grammy winner, who goes by Ye, may be desperate for cash after his career took a nosedive due to his wild behaviour. Sources say the musician's spending is out of control, and his Yeezy business has ground to a halt. Despite claims he's a billionaire, insiders alleged this is far from the truth, and he has pending lawsuits and tax debt piling up, as previously reported by The US Sun. Last month, he put his upscale Calabasas condo on the market for $2.95 million ($A4.52 million) as he faces over $US60,000 ($A91,000) in unpaid property taxes tied to the home. He was given the property in his divorce from Kim Kardashian, which was finalised in November 2022. Kanye's $53m deal to save Censori marriage Now, listings show he is trying to offload two more of his Los Angeles properties. The rapper's rundown church building in Northridge, north of the city, went up in flames in October 2024 after it was left to rot, and officials suspected arson. Neighbours previously warned of squatters at the building and were worried about Kanye not looking after it. The fire burned the residence to the ground, and all that remains is torched grass after the site was cleared and cordoned off with tape. Ye has now put the land up for sale for $US1.5 million ($A2.2 million), the same price it was bought for in 2023. The lot is behind Cornerstone Christian Church, where he became close to former pastor Ron Nagin, while hosting his Sunday Service events at various venues. It was previously reported that 12,000 people signed a petition pleading for Nagin to turn him away, as Ye was interested in leasing space at the church. While a church source claimed that there was no way it would ever sell to Kanye after his anti-Semitic rants, they'd already quietly sold him property on its estate. The deal was done on January 30 2023 to The Blue Spruce Trust, whose trustee is Ye. The Yeezy founder is also selling his Calabasas ranch, once a base for his failed Christian private school, Donda Academy. The gated property features two dwellings, a workshop barn, and is accessed via a private bridge, according to the listing. The main house boasts four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Photographs obtained by The US Sun show it has been partly demolished and requires restoration work after Kanye tore it apart like many of his other residences. The property comes with an adjoining lot of just over an acre, where a new buyer could build or put in a pool or tennis court. HOTEL LIVING It is said to be the perfect listing for a 'country living equestrian buyer, who appreciates the outdoors and peaceful tranquillity of the serene Calabasas mountains.' Ye also owns an abandoned ranch in Wyoming and a derelict $US6.7 million ($A10.2 million) Yeezy Headquarters in West Hollywood, which he gutted and had the roof torn off. His three properties going on the market are yet another sign Kanye might be tightening his belt. The hit maker was recently pictured arriving at LAX and standing in line for security ahead of a commercial flight after previously flying on private jets. The rapper and his second wife, Bianca Censori, took out loans to pay for a new $$US35 million ($A53 million) mansion in Beverly Hills late last year, which has a massive steel bridge and a security pavilion. The spacious home has 11 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms and is situated in a gated community full of celebrities, including Adele. Despite owning the lavish home, they have been spending more time living out of luxury hotels, according to sources. They have been booking suites at the Four Seasons and Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in recent months. When they are not blowing through thousands of dollars in California, they are also living in style in hotels in Tokyo, Japan. 'BILLIONAIRE' STATUS Earlier this year, Ye claimed he had an astronomical $US2.77 billion ($A4.3 billion) net worth. However, Forbes estimates it as a far more modest $US400m ($A612 million). According to a note from the editor, the entrepreneur 'lost his lucrative multi-year deal to design sneaker brand Yeezy for Adidas', which was valued at $US1.5 billion ($A2.2 billion). The outlet claimed that 'without it, West's fortune drops to $400 million'. The publication states Ye's current fortune includes cash, real estate, the value of his music catalogue and a 5 per cent stake in his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand Skims. It is understood the rapper owns around $US75 million ($A115 million) worth of property. Over the past few years, the beleaguered star experienced a number of financial woes — including nearly filing for bankruptcy in 2022 after he was dropped by several brands like Gap and Balenciaga due to his antisemitic outbursts. Ye has struggled to get his music career back on track in recent months after a string of bizarre stunts and rants on X about Nazis. His account was deactivated in February following numerous warnings on the platform.
