Riley Keough has some thoughts on the new ElvisMovie.
, it inevitably pivoted to her thoughts on seeing her family portrayed on screen.
“It was a very emotional experience,” Keough, who was born a dozen years after Elvis’s death in 1977, said of watching the film. “It’s very intense to watch when it’s your family.” Though she never worried that Luhrmann would fail to deliver: Keough has long admired the director, and she was among the Presleys who spent several hours getting to know him before he started filming. Fortunately, he didn’t disappoint.
So, if Keough was so on board with Luhrmann going ahead with the film, why didn’t she join the cast? According to the actor, she was never asked—not that she would have taken the director up on it if he had indeed approached her. “It’s a little too close,” Keough explained. “It’s intense enough to watch, I don’t want to act in it. It was never a conversation. I think there was a boundary there that felt respected in a nice way.” In any case, Keough has had other projects occupying her time.
