Speaking at a press conference following the premiere, she addressed she and Elvis' controversial age gap, sharing that the late singer was "respectful" of it. Thewhen Priscilla was 14 and Elvis was 24, while the singer was serving in the US Army.
"It was very difficult for my parents to understand that Elvis would be so interested in me and I really do think because I was more of a listener," Presley said. "Elvis would pour his heart out to me, his fears, his hopes, the loss of his mother which he never ever got over, and I was the person who really really sat there to listen and to comfort him," she said. "I was a little bit older in life than in numbers and that was the attraction. And you know, people think,... Not at all. I never had sex with him. He was very kind, very soft, very loving. But he also respected the fact that I was only 14 years old.
