“It’s something that, as actors, in the end, that is what we want to do,” he told E! News. “It’s why we’re part of the arts because we want to inspire, we want to influence, we want to bring out the potential in people.”
In addition to his new role as SAG Awards ambassador, Butler has also been working on Swimming with Sharks and Shazam! Fury of the Gods after wrapping his time as Trevor in To All the Boys.
In fact, he recently celebrated some happy news with his TATB co-star Lana Condor, who got engaged last month to actor Anthony De La Torre.
“I didn’t know about it until I saw it on her Instagram, and I literally started crying on the spot,” he revealed. “I love her and Anthony so much, we’ve hung out so much.”
He definitely approves: “They’re both two of the brightest people I know. Both bright academically, but also soulfully. So that really was, that was like a milestone in my life watching them getting engaged.”
While he waits on that wedding invitation, he’s simply excited that he’s scored an invite to his first-ever SAG Awards. “There’s an immediate comfort and an immediate connection,” he said of his fellow actors. “We’re kind of saying this as a joke but really, who knows what’s going to happen.”
