FIRST LOOK: Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaeny transform into Elvis Presley and Priscilla to film biopic

>

Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaeny transformed into music legend Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla when they were spotted Monday on the set of Sofia Coppola’s biopic, Priscilla, in Toronto.

The 25-year-old Euphoria actor was the spitting image of the King of Rock and Roll with a cropped pompadour haircut and a tailored navy suit and vest to film the 1960s scenes, which marked the beginning of the courtship of the few seemed to portray.

Cailee, 25, took on character as Priscilla in a pastel pink dress with a black ribbon around her waist, while modeling a dramatic black beehive hairstyle.

Jacob then donned a black and white striped shirt and tight shorts as he hugged Cailee, who wore a floral dress in the romantic scenes.

Elvis and Priscilla first met in Germany in 1959 when he was 24 serving in the military and she was only 14.

After he returned to the US, they kept in touch via phone calls – before finally persuading her parents to let her move to Memphis, Tennessee full-time to be with him in 1963.

Priscilla dated Elvis for eight years before they married in a ceremony in Las Vegas in 1967. The couple welcomed a daughter – Lisa Marie, now 54 – during their marriage.

They divorced in 1973 due to the infidelity of the Blue Suede Shoes hitmaker – with Elvis tragically dying of a heart attack just four years later at the age of 42.

According to Deadlinethe filmmaker met several artists before choosing Elordi as the protagonist.

However, it was also reported that Spaeny was always the director’s first choice to play Priscilla.

The film will be based on the 77-year-old media personality’s biography Elvis And Me, which was originally published in 1985.

The book became a New York Times bestseller when it was released and also sold well internationally.
