Singer Sir Cliff Richard turned down the chance to be photographed with Elvis Presley - because he was too fat.

 

The 67-year-old was a huge fan of the Suspicious Minds hitmaker and always dreamed of having his picture taken with his idol.

 

But when Richard finally got the opportunity to be snapped with Presley in 1976, he refused as the star was looking "really heavy" at the time.

 

Richard says, "I noticed that when he was making a film he would diet down and regain the animal magnetism. And I wanted a picture of Elvis looking good. So I said no and I waited."

 

But, much to the singer's disappointment, a year later (77) Presley died of a heart attack and Richard has regretted his decision ever since.

 

He adds, "I really kicked myself."

Serves himself right, the idiot, Elvis always looked good to me, right up until the day he died. I wouldn't have turned it down, no matter when the picture was going to be taken.

Elvis was Elvis whatever he looked like B) ;)

On the subject of stars not being able to meet Elvis, along with Suzi Quatro who turned down a chance, apparently Cher did too :unsure:

 

Cher and Elvis

Cher turned down a date with Elvis because she was too terrified about spending the night with The King.

 

The now 61 year old singer also revealed she almost became Elvis' girlfriend when the tragic rock 'n' roll icon made his feelings for her known - and she'll forever regret not jetting off to Las Vegas to romance him.

 

In a candid TV interview, aired in America on Thursday morning, Cher tells Good Morning America, "I was nervous to go to Las Vegas with him, for the weekend. I regretted it forever." And the diva admits Elvis wasn't the only megastar suitor she turned down: "I regretted it (not dating) with Marlon Brando too."

I believe that the photo is a modified one as I don’t believe that they actually met. :huh: But what a crazy woman, she must have been mad :o

I agree Carole, i don't think she actually met him at all.

 

 

What was she terrified for about spending the night with Elvis, is the woman mad or just stupid? :o

 

I know i wouldn't have turned down a night to spend with Elvis, even an afternoon come to think of it. :wub: :yahoo:

The woman must be totally bonkers, Lesley :blink: I wonder if that was why she recorded 'Walking In Memphis'? Wishful thinking after regretting her decision ;) I don't know about 'following him down to the gates of Graceland', I would have followed him to the ends of the earth :wub:

Exactly, just wish i had had the chance, that's one person i would never ever turn down, stupid woman, what was she thinking. :rolleyes:

 

Please dont get me started on Cliff Richard, as im a lady i wont say what im thinking but you can imagine its not pleasent.

As for Cher oh my god I am speakless as to why anyone in their right mind would refuse Elvis, there is no excuse what so ever for say no.

Bring him on is all i can say.

:P :P :P :yahoo:
