Jacob Elordi took to social media to confirm the press release. The 25-year-old actor took to his Instagram account and uploaded a story from Deadline announcing his casting. Coincidentally, this will not be the first time Jacob Elordi will be wearing the Jailhouse Rock singer’s mask. In 2020, Elordi and his former girlfriend Kaia Gerber dressed up as Elvis and Priscilla for Halloween. News of Elordi's casting has left the internet by storm. Social media is flooded with hilarious memes about how model Kaia Gerber’s former boyfriend is now competing with her current partner, Butler, by attempting his own take on the beloved singer. ?Naomi?@MarvelsChrisI’m so confused why Jacob Elordi is gonna play Elvis when Austin Butler outdid every single person ever432I’m so confused why Jacob Elordi is gonna play Elvis when Austin Butler outdid every single person ever The film’s press release stated that Priscilla revolves around Elvis Presely’s wife Priscilla Presley.
