Austin Butler has been sending the internet into overdrive in recent days for his string of ‘flirty’ interviews on The Bikeriders press tour.
The Elvis star, 32, visited Australia this month for the premiere of the new crime drama, and took part in a whole host of on-camera interviews during the trip.
But fans have been focusing on one notable detail as he has sent them wild with his ‘flirty’ charm during the now-viral interviews.
Austin first had Nicole Kidman’s niece Lucia Hawley blushing on the red carpet, before leaving The Project host Sarah Harris ‘flustered’ during their interview.
In his most recent chat, Sarah, 42, commented on the actor’s ‘piercing gaze’, admitting it made her feel ‘nervous’, kicking off a very flirty exchange.
‘You do this thing when you look into someone’s soul, I’m getting it now… You have a very piercing gaze,’ she told him.
‘You have a piercing gaze too,’ Austin teased back, to which a blushing Sarah replied, ‘Do I?’
‘Yeah, I’d say so,’ Austin drawled, with Sarah giggling, ‘You’re making me nervous now!’

Sarah later admitted: ‘When you are sitting this close to one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, it’s hard not to get a little flustered.’
The cheeky exchange sent fans completely wild as they took to social media to comment on his continually ‘flirty’ attitude during interviews.
‘He needs to be stopped,’ one wrote, while another gushed: ‘You gotta love Austin Butler,’ and a third added: ‘[Sarah] was struggling to stay composed.’
A fourth commented: ‘Every time I watch a video of Austin Butler flirting with an interviewer I catch myself smiling at my phone teeheeing like I am somehow involved in the exchange.’
The now-viral chat came just weeks after Austin also left 7Bravo reporter Lucia Hawley, 25, blushing when she interviewed him at The Bikeriders Aussie premiere.

During the red carpet exchange, she attempted to chat to Austin about his new movie, but quickly became red-faced when he turned the tables on her.
Rather than talking about his film, he started asking Lucia questions about herself instead, prompting her fans to joke that Austin was ‘flirting’ with her.
‘I don’t like talking about myself. Are you from Sydney?’ Austin asked her, and she replied ‘yes’, joking that she was supposed to be the one asking the questions.
‘What else can you tell me, how old are you and what are you interested in?’ Austin -who is dating Kaia Gerber – eagerly enquired.
Lucia responded that she was interested in art and Austin then asked her where she finds ‘cool’ artworks, prompting an embarrassed Lucia to start giggling.
