All Shook Up About Elvis' Age in Viva Las Vegas: A Deep Dive (Kind Of)
Hey there, fellow fans of the King! Let's take a trip down memory lane, greased back and ready to rock, because we're going to Vegas, baby! But not just any Vegas, the technicolor, candy-coated Vegas of the 1964 film Viva Las Vegas. You know, the one with Elvis singin', Ann-Margret swingin', and enough scarves to outfit a whole flock of showgirls.
Now, the question that's been burning a blue suede shoe-shaped hole in your mind (or maybe that's just leftover takeout) is: how old was Elvis when he filmed Viva Las Vegas?
Well, put on your blue suede thinking caps, because we're about to uncover the mystery!
Spoiler Alert (but not really): Elvis wasn't exactly a fresh-faced teenager in this flick.
Tip: Review key points when done.
Drumroll please... Elvis Presley was a sprightly 28 years old when Viva Las Vegas hit the silver screen in 1964.
That's right, by this point in his career, Elvis was already a seasoned heartthrob with a string of hit records and movies under his belt. Think less "Jailhouse Rock" and more "Viva Las Vegas, baby, I got a brand new car!"
But wait, there's more! Fun fact: his co-star, the ever-stunning Ann-Margret, was only 22 at the time. Guess age ain't nothin' but a number when the chemistry is this hot!

Did Elvis Actually Know How to Drive Those Racecars?

Let's be honest, the main reason we watch Viva Las Vegas isn't for the groundbreaking car chases (although those are pretty epic in a cheesy, 60s kind of way). We watch it for Elvis singin' and swiveling his hips.
So, the answer is a resounding no. Elvis may have looked mighty fine behind the wheel, but those were stunt drivers doing the real work. Safety first, people!
