Jacob Elordi Ate A LOT Of Bacon To Play Elvis In "Priscilla," And The Internet Has Some Thoughts

" Kinda funny how Austin Butler did a whole life story modification for playing Elvis , and Jacob Elordi just wipe out Roger Bacon and see some cartoons to translate Elvis Presley . "

Sofia Coppola’s latest filmPriscilla, which focuses on the marriage between Priscilla andElvis Presley, is one of the most talked-about movies right now.

One particular topic of interest has been how actorJacob Elordi— who you already know fromEuphoria— prepared for the role ofElvis.

Especiallybecause of the big deal that wasAustin Butler’s own preparation process for his Oscar-nominated turn as Elvis for last year’s (wait for it)Elvis.

Austin’s commitment to portraying Elvis wasintense. Hedrank melted ice creamto gain weight for the role, didn’t see his family forthree years, and washospitalizedafter filming wrapped because he forgot who he was. He also claimed that his Elvis voice was"in my DNA"after having spoken in it for so long.

Naturally, all eyes have been on Jacob when it comes to his own Elvis prep — and he certainly raised a few eyebrows when he recentlyrevealedthat his only knowledge of the late pop superstar prior to filming was through theDisneyanimated filmLilo & Stitch.

During a recent roundtable interview with Sofia andPriscillacostarCailee SpaenyforEntertainment Weekly, Jacob went deeper into suiting up to play The King — and, suffice to say, it involved alotof one of Elvis’s favorite foods.

After Sofia mentioned that the real-life Priscilla “told us that Elvis liked really burned bacon,” Jacob revealed that he “averaged, like, a pound of bacon a day” while preparing for filming.

“It’s not that noticeable ’cause I’m quite long, but I was the biggest I’ve ever been," he claimed.

Jacob has also recentlyspoken outagainst being compared to Austin when it comes to role preparation. “I don’t know why people make art a blood sport,” he said, referring to the comparisons as “absurd.”

But that didn’t stop the internet from having opinions on this recent revelation:

Austin Butler : I will give yr of my life away , commute my whole image just to become Elvis . Jacob Elordi : I just feed a lot of bacon.https://t.co/6OlDoFKAbt
