Butler appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, January 30. She opened up about her recent Globes win, Denzel Washington and her instant bond with Lisa Marie.
Elvis Presley’s only daughter met Butler during a screening of Baz Luhrmann’s movie, “Elvis,” at Graceland.
A fateful meeting will change the course of their friendship forever.
“I’ve never had an experience where I meet someone and feel a deep connection with them,” the actor admitted. “He’s someone who has nothing to prove and won’t open up to everyone, and he just opened up to me.”
Two days before she suffered a heart attack, Lisa Marie with her mother, Priscilla Presley, and Butler attended the 80th Golden Globe Awards.

Butler would go on to take home the Globe for “Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.”
“We got so close so fast, so yeah, it’s just devastating. It’s weird in moments like this because it’s so bittersweet,’ he added. “To be with him at the Golden Globes, I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life.”
Butler is grateful for the time they were able to spend together, but he hopes Lisa Marie is still alive to continue enjoying the “Elvis” movie journey.
“A lot of great things happened but it’s really… I’m just sad for his family and for him not to be here to celebrate with us,” Butler revealed.
It was actually Lisa Marie who showed the actor her father’s slippers and his bedroom.

This is an area of the Graceland estate that is OFF-LIMITS to guests, and a place that most people “never get to see”.
“I got goosebumps. It was after we showed the movie and his bedroom was a place that most people have never seen, and he said, ‘I want to show you something,’” Butler recalled. “He took me there and… moments like that, there, he’s not Elvis, he’s just dad. A moment like that, I will truly cherish it forever.”
Lisa Marie died on January 12 after suffering a heart attack at her home in the Calabasas area.
Butler issued a heartfelt message in tribute.
“My heart is truly broken for Riley, Finley, Harper and Priscilla over the tragic and unexpected loss of Lisa Marie,” Butler said. “I am forever grateful for being lucky enough to be near his bright light and will always cherish the quiet moments we shared. His warmth, love and genuineness will always be remembered.”

In the weeks since her death, grim details about Lisa Marie’s final days have come to light.
According to a TMZ reported, LMP had been taking opioids before he died and had lost 50 pounds.
The outlet learned that Lisa Marie is also on a strict diet regimen, going under the knife for plastic surgery and taking weight loss pills to help feel her best during awards season.
In the six weeks leading up to the Golden Globes, Lisa Marie lost between 40 and 50 pounds.
She looked frail and frail while walking (with help) on the red carpet.
