He did, that's the biggest mystery for me about Elvis, where the hell did he get those looks from because to me he did not look like a normal human being, no human has such a perfect shaped nose, cheekbones, eyes/brows, chin etc, and it doesn't matter if you're black, white, caucasian, chinese, indian, etc, everyone has a flawed face, but he didn't, his face was like a work of art sculpted from stone. It's like he wasn't human or was of a different race of human that we don't know about. Elvis is often likened to a greek god of the statues of Apollo, but they were supposedly myths, but looking at Elvis with his striking resemblance to them it makes me wonder whether they actually existed. But how do two random white American's people produce a child that grows up to look like a statue of a greek god? lol.

Looking back, I think going into the Army then actually helped Elvis' career. Not sure Elvis' popularity would have kept up at the same level had he never been drafted. A good pt you make about his acceptance of being drafted during success. Not to paint too broad a brush, but not sure I can picture successful baby boomer, Gen X, Millennial, or Gen Z types giving it all up to complete two yrs of military service?
