Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s Relationship: A Look Back

“I liked that he was committed to style, but his personality didn’t intrigue me at the time. I was so impressed that Priscilla left Elvis,” said the Oscar winner.

“She was always trying to be his fantasy, his ideal woman. I think about my mom’s generation and how hard it was to be independent. Women without any power or money at that time had nothing when they left their husbands. Priscilla had courage, and it seemed to me like a universal theme.”

Spaeny, who won Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival, said W about portraying Priscilla, now 78, at different times in her life.

“I would be 14 in the morning and then 27, with a small child, at the end of the day. It was crazy, but the character became clearer when I saw what I was wearing in the scene,” she said of how the costumes helped. “And then, of course, there was the black hair in the beginning, which we all know.”

Elordi said in September 2022 GQ interview that Elvis’ charm was one of the things that made him want to step into his shoes.

“He talked and was so charming to the press, but you could see in his eyes that he was just tired,” he said. “He says, ‘I’m tired, man. I’ve only had four, five hours of sleep, I’m tired.’ It’s very sad to me, because it’s a different time period and it’s someone who’s gone 10 billion times from anything I’ve experienced, but it’s the same feeling.”

Priscilla it’s in theaters on November 3.
