At any time since Jacob Elordi was solid in Priscilla, it would seem that all any one can converse about his how his portrayal of Elvis Presley compares to Austin Butler’s. Following all, Butler’s biopic Elvis arrived out just one particular yr right before Priscilla, and his technique solution to finding into character made tons of headlines. Elordi, on the other hand, has been a lot more lax about embodying the rock star. When the Priscilla star was ultimately questioned how he felt about the inescapable comparisons, he wrote them off as “f*cking absurd.”

Elordi instructed E! that he feels like film followers have designed a narrative in which he has to be at odds with Butler just due to the fact they a short while ago played the very same character. “I really don’t know why people today make artwork a bloodsport. They switch it into the Coliseum,” Elordi marveled. “It’s f*cking absurd.” He added that he thinks Elvis and Priscilla would make “a killer double characteristic.”
