The role was one Butler found himself engulfed in as he sought to precisely emulate the musical icon as much as he could, by reading, watching and listening to everything Elvis. He also worked with a movement coach to move like Elvis, as well as learned to talk and sing like him and studied animals that resembled the late singer. He also met Presley’s ex-wife, Priscilla Presley who expressed her support to the actor.
After filming, Butler said he would appear different, even among family. “My family said I didn’t sound like me anymore,” he told the publication.
