Jacob Elordi towers over Cailee Spaeny at the premiere of Priscilla during the 2023 Venice Film Festival.

The two stars met up with their director, Sofia Coppola, as well as Priscilla Presley on the red carpet on Monday (September 4).

The four walked the red carpet together just a few hours after speaking to reporters about the movie during a press conference and photo call.

“It’s very difficult to sit and watch a film about you and about your life and about your love,” Priscilla admitted during the morning event (via Deadline). “Sofia did an amazing job, she did her homework… And I really put everything out for her that I could.”

Cailee also called playing the part of a young Priscilla very “daunting.”

“I got very lucky to have some time with Priscilla. She was very generous with her time and very kind to me and supportive,” she added.

Jacob also got to open up at the press conference, sharing that you could feel the love between Elvis and Priscilla as they filmed the movie.

“The most impressive things to me is the scale of this love and the power of this love,” he said. “Even to this day even though he’s not here, when you talk to Priscilla you can still feel the love. It’s true and it’s undying and it’s just beautiful… It’s this tether that ties two people together and I think that’s for eternity.”

FYI: Cailee wore Rodarte during the press conference.
