Could this be who will play Elvis Presley in the new Baz Luhrmann biopic? www.smoothradio.com/artists/elvis-presley/biopic-harry-styles-baz-luhrmann/ After a little less conversation and a little more action, it has now been revealed that Harry Styles and Ansel Elgort are among new contenders for the role. According to the Hollywood Reporter, both stars underwent a screen test for the part last week. It is rumoured the pair are also up against Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Austin Butler and Miles Teller who are said to have auditioned for the leading role. Fans are all shook up and hoping the rumours are true, with all of the stars bringing previous acting experience to the table. One Direction's Harry made his big screen acting debut in 2017’s Dunkirk, while Aaron is best known for starring in Kick-Ass and Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Miles is due to appear in the upcoming Top Gun sequel, while Ansel is in the middle of filming West Side Story with Steven Spielberg. Austin will also star as the Manson Family’s Charles ‘Tex’ Watson in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It comes after Queen frontman Adam Lambert threw his hat in the ring to play the iconic performer.
The former American Idol star cheekily requested an audition to play the King while speaking to Australia's Studio 10.
"I hear that there’s an Elvis one in the works," Adam said. "I have been compared to him quite a bit. I got to do this tribute thing that has a recreation of his comeback special.
"I got the lip, the lip goes up," he said, imitating Elvis’s distinctive accent.
Adam went on to tease viewers by staring down the camera and joking: "Audition me, come on."
Tom Hanks is set to play Elvis's manager Colonel Tom Parker, with the 62-year-old confirming filming will begin in 2020. "That’ll be sometime next year," he told the BBC. "My make-up man, Danny Striepeke, who did my make-up for I think, 17 films - had done Elvis on, among others, Viva Las Vegas… and Harum Sacrum and Kissing’ Cousins. So he had made some really lousy Elvis movies. “He told me stories about both Elvis and also Colonel Parker. So I was a little bit hip to what that union was… that odd kinda like… Mephistophelian bargain."

Wow....it sure reached a million views in warp speed. Was this a YT adjustment? or actual views in real time? I saw some talk that you can buy YT views like you can purchase IG followers. Have no idea how it all works, but glad the view count is over 1 million. I like this vid since the filmer Perkikat focused on Adam's smiling, laughing face. twitter.com/PattiHum/status/1145827933493190656

The first question, about the Madonna-Britney-Christina kiss, I understood it differently, so I expected Adam to say which two male singers (gay or straight) he would have chosen for an on stage triple kiss... Now I really really want to know the answer lol... I bet one of the two would be Olly .

One of the best in recent times. It's not easy to get a perfect audio when you're in the live audience. Thanks so much, Perkikat! So glad that you were there to catch it all for us.

I loved that Youtube interview so much; I think it was the great chemistry between Adam and the interviewer. So often the interviewer seems to be barely there, but this guy was just really into it. And Adam was being his adorable, funny self.

One last shout out to those going to the FIRST QAL SHOW in Vancouver. I know there are a number of us but nobody has shown any interest in a short meet-up before the show! If there is any interest, post something in the meet-up thread in Members Only or pm me...and we will see what we can do.... Fiercelier and I and a friend will be rolling into Vancouver mid afternoon. YEAH...finally... we get to witness the first show! In just over a week!
