On the other hand, Butler’s ex Vanessa Hudgens, the one who always encouraged him to take on a role portraying the King of Rock ‘n Roll, was at the big show, though it’s unclear if the two crossed paths.
In a January interview with Los Angeles Times, he recalled how Hudgens always knew he was destined for the life-changing gig. “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,” he gushed, though he didn’t identify her by name, simply referring to the singer-actress as his “partner at the time.”
