“The most I knew of Elvis [Presley] was Lilo and Stitch,” Elordi confessed to Jimmy Fallon on Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show. “Which is a lot!” he added.

In the animation, Lilo makes Stitch become a fan of the singer with the alien dressing up as the king of rock and roll. “Lilo & Stitch” also features songs by Elvis Presley on the soundtrack.

Continuing, Jacob Elordi said he was not so confident about the role in the film “Priscilla”, starring Cailee Spaeny.

“I watched this clip of him when he came back from the Army in Germany, and I read the lines for about 15 minutes. Then, I recorded two takes without thinking it would go anywhere”, commented the actor.

Elordi (Euphoria) plays Elvis in the film, while the title role goes to Cailee Spaeny (Mare of Eastown). Filmmaker Sofia Coppola wrote the script based on the autobiography Elvis and Me, released in 1985.

Namely, Priscilla Presley was married to Elvis between 1967 and 1973. After that period, she invested in her acting career, starring in roles in ‘The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!’ franchise and the Dallas series.

“Priscilla” premieres on November 3rd in American Cinemas.
