Butler, 30, met Presley during a visit to Graceland while preparing for the film.
"The very first time I went to Graceland I met Priscilla. I met her right before I walked into the house ... She's just so ethereal and angelic," he recalled.When Butler told the former"Dallas" star, 77, that he was about to tour her late ex-husband's famous Graceland mansion for the first time, she told the actor,"I believe that's where his spirit is.
"That was the most magical night of my life," said the actor, who attended the event with rumored girlfriend Kaia Gerber, 20. "I poured my heart and soul into and I was really nervous," he said,"and then to feel the love coming off the audience at the end — and at points throughout the film, there were about four points in the film where people broke into applause — it just brought me to tears.""It's so moving to get to look into Priscilla's eyes and see what this movie has meant to her," he said.
Presley, who was married to the “Hound Dog” singer from 1967 to 1973, and welcomed a daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, 54, with him, first praised Butler's performance after seeing a private screening of"Elvis" with her late ex-husband's close friend Jerry Schilling in April.
