Nerves almost got the best of DeJonge when it came time to play Elvis's ex-wife Priscilla Presley on screen, but the actor noted that her castmates made the experience all the more comfortable for her. "I felt like I was in pretty good hands," she said. "There was a lot of love behind this film, and you could really feel that."
Though DeJonge didn't have the chance to consult with Priscilla about her portrayal during production for "Elvis," she did eventually get to connect with her and earn her cosign. "The first time that I heard she'd seen ['Elvis'] was when she posted on Instagram and she wrote this beautiful caption about it," DeJonge said. "I remember I was eating cereal and I was like, 'You are kidding. You are kidding.' Yeah, it was a huge sigh of relief . . . her support has gone above and beyond what any of us thought possible."
