Valerie Wu Intern Can someone say method acting? In a recent roundtable interview with Entertainment Weekly alongside “Priscilla” co-star Cailee Spaeny and director Sofia Coppola, Jacob Elordi revealed that he ate a pound of bacon a day to play Elvis Presley. “You ate a lot of bacon,” Coppola said to Elordi.
She then explained, “Priscilla [Presley] told us that Elvis liked really burnt bacon.” “I averaged, like, a pound of bacon a day,” Elordi said. “It’s not that noticeable because I’m quite long, but I was the biggest I’ve ever been.” Spaeny then brought up the popular story of the “Fool’s Gold” loaf: the massive 8,000-calorie sandwich comprised of a pound of bacon, a loaf of sourdough bread, a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly that Presley first discovered at the Colorado Mine Company restaurant in Denver.
