Miley Cyrus was fascinated by Elvis’ movie Blue Hawaii. The reason was in the movie, Elvis’ character falls in love with a woman named Maile, which is pronounced like Cyrus’ first name. “I used to watch this movie over and over and over again because he would say ‘I love you, Miley’ and I would rewind it just so I could hear Elvis tell me that he loved me".
Apart from that, she perceived Elvis as sex symbol. She said, “He was like sex. He was a symbol of sex but no one would have ever called Elvis a s*** because he wasn’t a girl.”
