The king shakes the croissant!
All ears are swinging their hips at the world premiere of “Elvis” (in theaters June 23). The hit of Elvis Presley († 42) was heard on the red carpet, Tom Hanks (65) danced with fans.
Hollywood superstar plays Elvis’ veteran manager, Colonel Tom Parker († 87), (with a fed stomach and nose prosthesis).
King himself is embodied by Austin Butler (30, “Dune”). How else!

The American star dyed her hair for it – and spent so much that she felt dizzy after the shoot. But it was worth it – Elvis is alive! There was a standing ovation for this at Cannes.
