He ain’t nothing but hound dog.
Jacob Elordi revealed Monday that all the information he knew about the late Elvis Presley came from the 2002 hit animated film “Lilo and Stitch.”
Appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” to promote his brand new film “Priscilla,” Elordi, 26, was asked by the late-night talk show host if he had been a fan of the King of Rock and Roll growing up.
“The most I knew of Elvis was in ‘Lilo & Stitch’ … Which is a lot,” the “Euphoria” hunk laughed.
Presley and his music make several appearances in the animated movie.
In one memorable montage set to Presley’s 1968 hit “Devil in Disguise,” Lilo (voiced by Daveigh Chase) starts to slowly indoctrinate her alien “dog” Stitch into becoming a diehard fan which culminates in a beach side concert with Stitch dressed in sparkly white jumpsuit and sporting the iconic pompadour hairstyle.
The film’s soundtrack also features several of Presley’s tunes including “Burning Love,” “Suspicious Minds” and “Hound Dog.”
The Post has reached out to Elordi for comment.
According to Elordi, he was shocked when director Sophia Coppola asked him to audition for the late singer.
“Sofia had sent me the sides and it said ‘Elvis’ and I kind of just was like there’s just no chance that this is happening,” Elordi told Fallon, 49. “So I watched this this clip of him when he came back from from the from the army in Germany and read the lines like 15 minutes and then shot two takes.
Elordi stated he was sure that “it would it would go anywhere” saying that he thought his Elvis voice was terrible.
Much to the “Kissing Booth” star’s shock, Coppola, 52, subsequently offered him the role.
“I mean, it wasn’t on my list of people to play,” Elordi admitted to Fallon. “It was definitely a little bit terrifying.”
Elordi later told Fallon that getting to work with the esteemed director was “just exciting” and “pure bliss.”
“The whole time I was trying to try to take it like I was making ‘Blue Valentine’ or something just like a straight up relationship drama without Elvis and Pricilla for Sophia Coppola.”
Coppola’s film, which is slated to hit theaters on Nov. 3, takes an in-depth look at Elvis’ relationship with his wife Priscilla Presley (played by Cailee Spaeny) and how her husband’s fame begins to cause problems within the fragile union.
Unlike, Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy “Elvis,”which starred Oscar nominee Austin Butler, Copola’s film ends before Elvis’ dramatic death in 1977 at 42 and shockingly does not feature any music written by Presley himself due to a disagreement with his estate.
“Coppola’s movie is packed with many similarly smart, but never egotistical storytelling decisions and is easily one of the finest films of her career,” The Post’s Johnny Oleksinski writes.
“Priscilla” hits theater’s on Nov. 3, 2023.
