Austin Butler shares his ongoing heartbreak after losing his mother to cancer: 'My mum was my best friend'


Austin Butler has shared fond memories of his mother, Lori, who died when he was still in his 20s.

Austin previously revealed that he had started filming a project shortly after his mother's passing, which was caused by a battle with cancer, and that he would 'cry every night.' 'I was dealing with grief, but it was also this feeling that I wasn't aligned with something that felt truly fulfilling,' he added, revealing that he was around 24-years-old at the time and was ready to take a break from acting. During his opening monologue, the former Nickelodeon actor stated to the audience that when he was younger, he had a 'crippling shyness,' but when he was with his mum, 'I'd just do anything to make her laugh,' including a Gollum impression.
