Austin's Lounge

💫 Throwback - Austin & Baz Luhrmann in Japan to promote "Elvis" (July 7, 2022)

"Say my name, say my name..."

I haven't heard that rumor at all. Lol not in the least. 😄

Please, please, please don't believe every little thing you read (or even see!) on the internet these days. The internet, especially social media, is a cesspool of lies and random stories made up by weirdos.

Austin's fandom has had more than enough issues with people who make up fake stories about him, even creating obviously fake AI images of him with a certain woman. 🙄

if she were rude to paparazzi and the media, that would be understandable, but being rude to staff and random people who never did anything to her, it's not plausible anon

Drew is much more famous than VH for example and she is a sweetheart, just because you are famous since you are young doesn't mean you need to protect your peace being mean with people that are not mean to you, that's not how it works

Could have been scheduling demands, work, or maybe even just feeling strange attending the bachelor party of someone you don't know well. I would feel kind of strange attending the Bachelorette party of a woman I don't know too well, even if I were invited lol.

I always think there's two sides to every story, but everyone immediately just took Vanessa's side in the breakup, even though nobody had any first-hand info on what the reasons for their breakup were, or even what Austin's thoughts/feelings were on the matter. I guess in all breakups involving men and women, the men are always just assumed to be the bad guys (whether it's actually true or not). #shrug 😒 Call it Girl Code or whatever.

Everyone keeps blaming Austin for not putting a ring on her finger, but nobody is asking the question, why didn't he put a ring on her finger? Or even, was she the woman he should have married? Was she the right woman for him? Would their marriage have survived his Elvis fame? Would he have been able to be both a new husband and father all in the midst of everything he has had going on in his life and career over the past 6 years? 🤔 Let's be honest!

Also, instead of bashing a guy for not marrying the first woman he had a serious relationship with as an adult man, why not admire the fact that this man spent practically his entire 20s with one woman, a woman who was older than him (mind you), he wasn't out in Hollywood whoring around, going to wild parties, sleeping with a bunch of women, serial dating, hooking up with one of the Kardashians, getting wasted in bars, or getting strung out on drugs. Can we just appreciate that? 🥴 Austin actually had a pretty clean era in his 20s -- a time when most guys are out sowing their "wild oats", or busy having flings with a bunch of women before they decide to slow down and get serious in their 30s.

I really do think that the clock was ticking for Vanessa, and they were both on different phases of life. He actually did her a favor and allowed her to go find a man who was ready to be a father and a husband, and who isn't really doing much in his career right now, so he could be a stay-at-home-husband. She found her perfect match. Or, at least, a decent good guy who would provide her with the life that she wanted at the time that she wanted it.

There's nothing wrong with that, and I don't think that Austin should be looked at as a villain forever just because he didn't marry the first woman he dated seriously as an adult. He was around 19 when he and Vanessa started dating. People change over time. Their views change. Their goals change. Their outlook on life changes at times. What you want at 20 isn't always what you want at 28, or 35. 👀

Anyway, I wish Vanessa the best with Cole. He seems like a sweet guy. I'm not sure how long they will last, but I'm glad that she got what she wanted. I hope that Austin finds what he's looking for in his love life one day as well. ☺️

FWIW -- I don't believe that Austin cheated. That man seemed to love Vanessa to death. Also - There's just no proof of him cheating (so far) from what I've seen. If there actually were, you know V's stans (or maybe even V herself) would have loudly shown proof of it by now in the nearly 7 years post their breakup, or she herself would have strongly hinted at that. She surely wouldn't have had her team telling People.com that there might be a chance at reconciliation between the two of them. 😒 Even her sister Stella (who still followed Austin before he deactivated his account btw) never mentioned/hinted at cheating as being a reason for their breakup. I kind of feel like people close to them would have leaked that by now if that had been a reason.

Also, when on earth would Austin have even had a chance to cheat on her? She was always joined at the hip to him wherever he went 90% of the time lol 😆 And he never gave any other women the time of day when he was dating Vanessa. Just saying...

Yea, while it's a bit of a bummer, I'm just glad that we as fans don't need to wait with bated breath anymore about Heat 2. 😄 We can all relax now lol.

Age, filming schedule aside, Austin is BUILT with a mullet lol. He would possibly have to silm down to play Chris, build back up or maybe down for Rattlecreek. That would be too much on his body, just like he did for Elvis a bit or even Caught Stealing/Enenmies.

I'm not understanding why Austin would have to slim down for Heat 2. 🤔 It doesn't seem like that role would have any strict demands regarding his physical stature. Even for the Brigands of Rattlecreek, I don't see why he would need to lose weight or bulk up for that role. He could play both of those roles at his current size and be just fine imo.

Like you said, there's always room for him to do a film with Mann down the line, Austin is very spefic with who he wants to work with. They're building a relationship now and thats the upside in all of this.

I agree with this! 🎯

To me, it's a win-win situation -- Austin gets to get some clout with Michael Mann, and also be a Co-lead in a film as opposed to just having a minor role in an ensemble cast.

🤭

It does kind of look like he got a bit of a haircut doesn't it?

Thank you Anon lol. 😄
