Before he stepped into a pair of iconic blue suede shoes, Austin Butler was romancing a young Carrie Bradshaw.
And while it’s been a decade since Austin starred opposite AnnaSophia Robb on Sex and the City prequel series The Carrie Diaries, it’s an experience he looks back at fondly.
“Carrie Diaries for me was a time where I moved to New York for the first time,” Austin exclusively told E! News‘ Will Marfuggi. “I was surrounded by people that I love to be around, I learned a lot and I was falling in love with that city and so I look back with a lot of nostalgia.”
In fact, the 32-year-old—who played Sebastian Kydd in the The CW series—believes playing the iconic budding writer’s love interest allowed him to be really immersed in the moment.
“You have these moments in time where you’re surrounded by certain people or you’re in a particular environment and then after a while that time doesn’t exist anymore,” he continued. “And then you’re just left with that feeling of nostalgia.” (For more from Austin and his The Bikeriders costars, tune into E!
