No brows, no problem.
Austin Butler reunited with his “Dune: Part Two” co-stars on Thursday night’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and along with some behind-the-scenes stories from the movie, he shared his thoughts on going eyebrow-less during the film.
The “Elvis” actor, 32 — who plays bald, browless villain Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in the flick — joined Zendaya, 27, Florence Pugh, 28, and Timothée Chalamet, 28, to discuss their upcoming movie, and Kimmel couldn’t help but bring up Butler’s on-screen appearance during their interview.
“Austin, did you miss your eyebrows making this movie?” the 56-year-old late-night host asked as Zendaya let out a giggle.
“It was so liberating not having eyebrows,” Butler said with a completely deadpan expression, adding, “You don’t realize how much they weigh you down.”

When Kimmel asked if he’d “shaved the eyebrows,” the “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” star explained that he couldn’t due to another film commitment.
“I was going to a job right after,” Butler said, sharing that director Jeff Nichols told him, “they can afford to make you a bald cap but we can’t really make you hair, so can you just get a bald cap?”

“It was three hours a day, and that was when they brought it down,” the “Carrie Diaries” star said, adding the process originally took “about five hours.”
“What you’re saying is that you’ve made a sacrifice for this film, and it would be nice if people went and saw it,” Kimmel quipped.
