Lisa Marie Presley's praise for Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic

In 2023, Presley expressed her support for Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic by making an appearance at Golden Globes.

The singer struggled to stand and walk on the red carpet at the time. However, she managed to speak to the press as she praised Austin Butler's portrayal of her father in the 2022 film.

Speaking to ET, Presley said Butler's performance was "mind-blowing. Truly mind-blowing."

"I really didn’t know what to do with myself after I saw it. I had to take, like, five days to process it because it was so incredible and so spot on and just so authentic that, yeah, I can't even describe what it meant," she added.

Two days after the award ceremony, Presley died at her Calabasas home in California after she suffered a cardiac arrest.
