It turns out that the true romance of Priscilla might be between Jacob Elordi and crispy bacon.

The new film from Sofia Coppola showcases the courtship and short-lived marriage of Priscilla (Cailee Spaeny) and Elvis Presley (Elordi), and while Elordi didn't seem to go to the same lengths of research and preparation as Elvis star Austin Butler, he did dedicate himself to Presley's breakfast of choice.

In a recent conversation with EW, Coppola revealed that the real Priscilla, who served as an executive producer on the film, shared that Elvis had a strong affinity for "really burned bacon." And, like a true professional, Elordi ate up all the tips he could get.

"I averaged, like, a pound of bacon a day," Elordi said. "It's not that noticeable 'cause I'm quite long, but I was the biggest I've ever been."

Oh, trust us, Jacob, we noticed how "quite long" you are. (And those Entourage vibes in Priscilla!)

Priscilla is now in theaters.
