Caught Stealing, which also stars Zoë Kravitz, follows former baseball player Hank Thompson, who unexpectedly finds himself entangled in a dangerous struggle for survival amidst the criminal underbelly of 1990s New York City. The film hits theaters on Aug. 29.

Butler told the outlet the film's director, Darren Aronofsky, had a clear image in mind for Hank: it heavily revolved around having a baseball butt. The actor said Aronofsky, 56, wanted his build to be in line with the character's backstory, and to be believable during action scenes.

Butler has been busy doing press for his latest film — Darren Aronofsky’s “Caught Stealing” — in which he plays Hank, a baseball star turned bartender who finds himself immersed in the criminal world of 1990s New York City. Kravitz, 36, plays Yvonne, his love interest in the film.
