A young Bruno Mars impersonating Elvis? This video is everything we didn’t know we wanted!
Viva Elvis is a 1991 British documentary showcasing Elvis’s grand accomplishments and the legacy he left behind.
Even decades later, some consider this documentary to be one of the greatest video tributes to the late star’s success. This video clip is an excerpt from the documentary.
At the age of four, Bruno was already performing in front of full audiences.
The interview clip begins with a panorama of young Bruno’s fans. They are all so excited to witness the boy-wonder!
Young Bruno takes the stage dressed from head to foot as Elvis, and he’s just about the cutest thing we’ve ever seen.
He’s even got the dance moves down! Look at those hips and that hair—Young Bruno just knew that he was destined to be a star!
With his bedazzled jacket, large belt and white boots, Bruno may just be the youngest Elvis impersonator in the world.
If this performance is any proof, Elvis is still touching the lives of people around the globe—and Bruno Mars is no exception.
With his iconic hairstyle and dance moves, Bruno seems to have learned a thing or two from the King of Rock and Roll himself.
The best part is that Bruno’s hair and choreography haven’t changed all too much from his young performances. Even today, the star still boasts some Elvis-inspired fashion.
As the video continues, we get to witness his fledgling interview skills in action. At the age of four, he is already a natural on camera!
Accompanied by his father Peter Hernandez, young Bruno has a full-fledged interview with the infamous Jonathon Ross.
As he reveals in the clip, Bruno began his Elvis impersonations at just two years old.
Inspired by his family’s admiration of the late star, Bruno started frequenting the family’s Elvis memorabilia shop near their home in Hawaii. He spent a great deal of time at the store re-watching the videos and listening to the various cassettes.
By the age of four, Bruno was already a near-perfect Elvis impersonator!
He even has all of Elvis’s signature dance moves down to a tee!
Young Bruno chooses all of his own songs to perform on stage.
Bruno admits to not having any stage fright. He enjoys performing in front of live audiences! I think it’s safe to say that the audience enjoys him, too. Talk about young talent!
As he says in the video, Bruno even prays before his performances.
Bruno’s father explains that before going on stage, Bruno often gives thanks for the talents and opportunities he has received. He also prays the audience will enjoy his performance.
Even though he was young, he already had so many professional habits that would propel him to superstardom.
With nearly two million YouTube views, young Bruno Mars has given the world the Elvis impersonation of a lifetime.
He was truly destined for great things from the very beginning. We’re impressed!
