Sofia Coppola\u2019s \u201cPriscilla,\u201d which focuses on Priscilla Presley\u2019s life with Elvis Presley, is very accurate to Priscilla\u2019s memoir on which its based. But watching the movie, which stars Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla and \u201cEuphoria\u201c\u2018s Jacob Elordi as Elvis, you might be a little jarred by the height difference between Elvis and Priscilla in the film. Elordi\u2019s Elvis is really, really tall, especially compared to Spaeny\u2019s Priscilla. In a way, their height difference works well with the themes of the film, which is about, in part, how young Priscilla was when they first met (just 14 to Elvis\u2019s 24) and how out of her depth she was living in Elvis\u2019s world as a teenager.<\/p>\n
So we did some investigation. Ahead, we\u2019re breaking down Elvis and Priscilla\u2019s real height difference, Elordi and Speaney\u2019s, and \u2014 just for fun \u2014 the height difference of the stars of 2022\u2019s \u201cElvis.\u201d<\/p>\n
How Tall Was Elvis Presley?
\nElvis was six feet tall. Since he often wore heeled boots on stage and in public, he often seemed taller than that in public appearances.<\/p>\n
How Tall Is Priscilla Presley Compared to Elvis?
\nPriscilla is five feet, four inches tall. That makes her and Elvis\u2019s height difference eight inches. Priscilla notes in her memoir \u201cElvis & Me\u201d that Elvis loved baby talk and used nicknames like \u201cCilla\u201d and \u201cLittle One\u201d for her all the time. He also didn\u2019t like when she wore patterns or certain colours because he thought they overwhelmed her frame.<\/p>\n
How Tall Is Jacob Elordi Compared to Elvis?
\nElordi is six feet, five inches. That makes him five inches taller than Elvis (and that\u2019s before he puts on those heeled shoes). And Spaeney\u2019s height is five foot one, three inches shorter than Priscilla. So in \u201cPriscilla,\u201d their height difference of 14 inches is a lot larger than Elvis and Priscilla\u2019s actual one.<\/p>\n
Elordi actually joked about their massive height difference in a September interview with W magazine. \u201cI\u2019m excellent at finding ways to lean,\u201d he said of filming scenes with Spaeney. \u201cIt\u2019s a skill I\u2019ve perfected throughout my career. I\u2019m always leaning.\u201d<\/p>\n
How Tall Is Austin Butler Compared to Elvis?
\nLike Elvis, Butler is six feet tall. And Olivia DeJonge is five foot, three inches, making their seven-inch height difference closer to Elvis and Priscilla\u2019s actual one. And as a sweet nod to Elvis\u2019s footwear of choice, Butler wore heeled boots to the Oscars this spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
