 Kurt Russell reveals how Elvis Presley reacted when he kicked him in the shins for a movie


Kurt Russell recently revisited his earliest film role, recalling the time he worked alongside Elvis Presley in the 1963 movie It Happened at the World’s Fair. 


At just 12 years old, Russell was credited as “Boy Kicking Mike,” a part that required him to literally kick Presley in the shins for a comedic scene. 


Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Russell laughed about the memory, explaining that he had to do the stunt multiple times, with Presley reassuring everyone that he could handle it.


Russell reflected on how surreal it was to share the screen with Presley, who was 27 at the time, and later went on to portray the music icon himself in the 1979 biopic Elvis. 


He recalled how his father, actor Bing Russell, visited the set and caught Presley’s attention. 


Presley asked to meet Bing, telling him he admired the way he wore his cowboy hats in films and even sought permission to adopt that style if he ever starred in a Western. 


True to his word, Presley later wore his hat in Charro! the same way Bing did.


The actor described Presley as effortlessly cool and gracious, highlighting the respect he showed toward his father. 


For Russell, those early experiences not only marked the beginning of his career but also left him with lasting memories of Presley’s kindness and authenticity. 


Decades later, he continues to cherish the connection, seeing it as a formative moment that bridged his childhood debut with his eventual portrayal of the rock ’n’ roll legend.
