It's just how it is sometimes. But you're right - they could have used prosthetics. However - and I actually agree with this to an extent because our bodies are actually quite malleable with the right conditions and education (that Hollywood actors have ample access to) - Directors and production alike like to see their top billed actors really try to embody the character (method) as much as possible. I think there is an argument in there that had he gained weight like Austin did (or this is just for any role demanding body modification), he might have felt more and operated more sluggish / off his game / etc which would have led to a technically better and more impressive performance. Quick example - Millie Bobby Brown as a kid actually having her head shaved to play 11. I think it helps the actual actor suspend belief even for themselves where they can add more nuances to characters that aren't personal nuances.

Wait Austin actually gained weight to be older Elvis?! I thought he wore a fat suit 😅😅 Damn he really committed to the role

That’s not what he said. Being over 6 foot is taxing on your system, you burn more energy doing anything. It’s harder to build muscle and get leaner as well. That’s why you see so many scrawny tall people. It’s not the genetic lottery, it’s the opposite. Taller people typically live shorter lives as well, so I don’t see the positive from the words he said. You just turned “not able to put on weight” into he just is jacked at all times. He actually doesn’t have that much muscle. He’s a lean person, he isn’t jacked to anyone who’s seen him. He literally plays a 17 year old boy on tv because he passes for one.

Right 😂. Imagine just being born 6’5, viciously handsome, and incapable of not having a 6 pack. Jacob Elordi is such a unit

Butler did a fine impression, but it wasn't much of a performance, it was just a regurgitation of already known iconography. Not to say he did a bad job, but it was nothing to write home about. Elordi, on the other hand, has to straddle the line between being a creep and the most charming man alive and he did a great job of it. To me there is just no contest, weight gain or not.

Its important to do some research. Austin Butler did not gain any weight for the role. It was a fat suit by the end of the movie. He also said ge tried gaining weight but couldn't because he's naturally a skinny guy

Jacob is fine either way. He did a beautiful job .

I am 6 ft 5 with a fast metabolism and I have often wanted to gain weight, but the prospect of actually getting it does scare me which is probably partly why I've only ever gotten up to 180 at age 30 and I was never that heavy again. When all you have all your abs, it's scary to think of losing them. Classic ectomorph move. My point is that maybe he did worry about it. And he just couldn't get it done. Also, focusing on bacon, which is a protein source, was wrong move.

The movie was enjoyable (and heartbreaking) but Elordi is the weakest Elvis ever. I don’t understand how he got the gig. He doesn’t look like Elvis, doesn’t speak like him (actually his mumbling was nearly unintelligible at times), doesn’t have the right build, facial features, mannerisms, nothing. He bears such little resemblance to Elvis that it diminishes the impact of the storytelling. just my opinion!

They could’ve used prosthetics if someone could not gain weight. For the movie, The Whale, Brendan Fraser‘s character was very obese and wore a fat suit and prosthetics and in the movie you can’t even tell. It looked like he was naturally that overweight. So it can be achieved.

I wish I had that superpower. Which I did, when I was in my 20s I would eat anything and never get any weight, I was literally paperweight Nothing of that sort in my thirties, though

He’s 7ft

The taller you are the more energy you require to just move and live, the bacon was just dumb though. That’s barely even trying, that’s just food that’s going to make you poorly, in the worst ways. It kind of sounds like he wasn’t trying to put on way but to raise his sodium levels to dangerous amounts so he could stop. That’s just such a dumb thing to do, I can’t believe it was purposeful. Butler was obsessed with that film making it big. Producers/directors shouldn’t be allowing that. Elordie could’ve damaged himself longterm by eating that much salty foods.

I liked Jacob’s Elvis better he seemed more real

“The lesser Elvis” OUCH. 🤕 I hate to say it, but he was a bit annoying in that role.

That’s because bacon doesn’t add weight 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’ll do the opposite, because fat and protein are GOOD for you and bacon is actually not a bad food on its own. Excess carbs and sugar would have easily done the trick

It’s not the weight, he just looks nothing like Elvis, way too effeminate, totally wrong facial structure, it just doesn’t work

Why cant they just use deep fake…i hate watching movies with actors that will never look like elvis…i love watching the deep fake movies on youtube more
