The movie stars Cailee Spaeny as the title role and Jacob Elordi as Elvis.
“Elvis opened his heart to me in Germany, his fears and his hopes, the loss of his mother, which he never got over,” said Priscilla. “People think it was because of the sex. It wasn’t like that at all. I never had sex with him. He was very gentle, very loving, but he was respectful of the fact that I was only 14 years old.”, told Priscilla at the film conference.
