Sofia Coppila<\/strong>\u2018s movie Priscilla<\/strong><\/em> is all over the headlines. The film stars Jacob Elordi<\/a><\/strong> and Cailee Spaeny<\/a><\/strong> as legendary singer Elvis Presley<\/a><\/strong> and his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n

Revealing how he prepared for the role, Elordi revealed that he ate a pound of bacon. During a roundtable interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/em> with co-star Spaeny and director Sofia, the Kissing Booth<\/em> actor shared how he prepared for the role, which included a lot of eating.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou ate a lot of bacon,\u201d Coppola asked Elordi, before adding, \u201cPriscilla [Presley] told us that Elvis liked really burnt bacon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI averaged, like, a pound of bacon a day,\u201d Elordi said. \u201cIt\u2019s not that noticeable because I\u2019m quite long, but I was the biggest I\u2019ve ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Written and directed by Coppola, the movie is based on Priscilla Presley<\/strong>\u2018s 1985 memoir Elvis and Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cailee Spaeny, who is playing the role of Priscilla, has already received rave reviews for her performance. Spaeny was awarded Best Actress for Priscilla.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis of the film reads: \u201cWhen teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a gentle best friend. Through Priscilla\u2019s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla\u2019s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.\u201d<\/p>\n
