Priscilla Presley talks Elvis age gap

Priscilla Presley said that her late ex-husband and singer Elvis Presley was "respectful" of their controversial 10-year age gap at the Venice Film Festival on Monday promoting the release of Sofia Coppola's film "Priscilla." The new film focuses on Priscilla's whirlwind and controversial romance with Elvis, Entertainment Weekly reported.

"I was a little bit older in life than in numbers and that was the attraction. And you know, people think, 'Oh, it was sex. . .' Not at all. I never had sex with him," Presley said. "He was very kind, very soft, very loving. But he also respected the fact that I was only 14 years old. We were more in mind and thought. And that was our relationship."
