A 960-pound Elvis impersonator is convinced he is Elvis Presley's secret love child.
World Premiere 2018 Tribeca Film Festival
Vimeo Staff Pick
Short of the Week
Pete is an Elvis Presley impersonator in Las Vegas, but Pete is not like any Elvis impersonator you may have in mind. Pete is Big Elvis! At his peak, Pete tipped the scales as a 960-pound performer, but not only is Pete preternaturally talented (one fellow impersonator asserts that he has a better voice than The King himself), he also believes himself (with good reason!) to be Presley’s actual, living son.
In his new short documentary, director Paul Stone draws a riveting character portrait that is not only entertaining for its surface-level premise, but presents real pathos, showing that the man who dresses up in a famous performer’s costume every night is, in fact, an inspiring figure in his own right.
Pete Vallee, aka “Big Elvis”, is a delightful subject for a documentary subject. His story and nature draws you in-he is charistmatic, with a kind heart, and an out of the ordinary life. Inspired by his incredible voice, Stone selected Vallee as a subject for a short doc, and in doing so discovered an unexpected depth to his story that is rare in the overplayed portrait documentary genre. More than a fun snapshot of an oddball, Big Elvis sneakily becomes a very relatable narrative of a man struggling with his identity. - Hudba
Fantastic voice powerful lungs when singing , but breatless when walking ,sad as great voice that most impersonators would long for a voice like his...wow.
Thanks for watching!
This is like the Joker movie when Arther thought his dad was Thomas Wayne. Lol
Thanks for watching!
What a BEAUTIFUL Voice, Thank You For Sharing!!💗
Thank you for watching!
What a disrespectful disgrace a 10000 pound impersonator. That's freaking disgusting and disrespectful and disgraceful
Ben Portsmouth is much better

Doesn't matter how big he is. He,'s not disgraceful. He's,s a great tribute to best entertainer God ever created. God loves you Big Elvis !!
@@gericaccavale9637 it's disgusting being that fat he's making fun of Elvis his voice sucks I take it as he's disrespecting Elvis big time
This is Comedy Gold i love it.
Awesome. Thanks.
God is with you big Elvis he loves everyone 💓
I seen him 17 years ago fantastic
A living legend
Stayed st the Flamingo snd could hear Big Elvis's voice coming out of the Barbary Coast Casino. One of the BEST "Elvis" voices I'd ever heard. Would alwsys go to his shows. It DID NOT mstter his size. He was great!
100 %. He is a great person too. Thanks for watching!
No tribute artist will ever capture the essence of elvis no matter how good he is, because you would have to have the DNA of elvis to get the true essence, so if Pete has that, and I hope he does, than hope springs eternal.
I agree.
Seen him 2 times at Harrahs in Vegas. Phenomenal voice. Very powerful. Was actually blown away by how good he was. It's why I had to go back.
Thanks for watching!
Inspirational man ✨✨✨👍
Got to hand it to him for making some people happy. The tone is ok but Elvis had a softness in his voice (not all deep) lots of impersonators get it wrong. Well, there is only one Elvis Presley.
Thanks for watching!
That was great.
Thanks for watching!
I'm caught in this booth, and I can't get out!
He was 42 not 45.
Thanks for watching!
Yes he was 42 ..😢😢😢💔❤👑👑👑💘💋💙
I know how ridiculous is that ffs so annoying get it right
😂
@@graceland123right
shame to see a lot of these comments being so cruel. Pete seems to be a wonderful guy who's just living out his best life and sharing his talent with the world, and i applaud him for that.
I agree. Pete is a hard working and amazing performer. Thanks for watching!
I have seen Pete several times at the Barbary Coast, which had three different owners during his run there. That says a lot about him. He later moved to Harrah’s and a remained popular afternoon show.
I don’t know how he does three shows a day. The guy has stamina.
He is much smaller today
Il aime Elvis Presley qu' il continu de chanté pour trouvé la paix avec son corp et son esprit. Que dieu le protège.
Thanks for watching!
@@PaulStoneFilms good bless you
Same to you! Thanks for watching!

Jerry shillings will be saying with his face expression saying "Na ,Na! Only has lisa marie
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!Let me know what you think of my film!
Very Sad! I was a personal friend to Elvis and this video is nothing more than a bunch of Crap!
Плохой фильм, и оставте Элвиса в покое, наслаждайтесь его искусством и будьте счастливы
Pete, please take care of yourself you have a gift. Great voice.
Thanks for watching!
THE KING LIVES!
Thanks for watching!
42 not 45! Died at his Graceland home not in a Memphis Hospital!
Thanks for watching!
BigRed yes he was 42 an yes he died at his Graceland home thank you Big Red so annoying they can’t get the simple facts right
Listen elvis was never really fat. He might of put a bit of weight on. Why do these people mock him. Get a life. Elvis was the best handsome handsome
Thanks for watching.
age 42 ,16 aug 1977
Thanks for watching!
I WAS BORN TO KNOW THAT, ELVIS STILL ALIVE.❤❤❤
Such BS. He was 42. CZcams going down the pan posting this Bull 💩
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the film. The news got his age wrong and we felt is was interesting to show that in the film. You’re extensive knowledge of Elvis is astonishing.
Better than Elvis Presley!!???? No way!!!
Not better but a stronger voice? Maybe!
He is still alive, so he is just about better, hahaha ⁹😅
Meet him a few times & he's really a nice guy ! great voice too
Thanks for watching! Pete is one of a kind.
Who does the voice dub Sam Elliot
I met him with you John and he was a great guy might be my brother. If he is my brother then his father is Elvis because my father is Elvis and verified so. Just sorry to see him so big it hurts me in my heart. But however it works out Pete keep singing it helps to keep my father in front of the industry.
The singing range is not there, but heck, he has an awesome resemblance to that Elvis tone!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Saw him in Vegas. Fantastik. Could hear him on the strip. Very popular. Great voice
NOT better than Elvis. But good. Always went to see him when in Vegas. Always had a good crowd
Thanks for watching!
Big elvis
Thanks for watching!
Sounds pretty good,but is missing the vibrato!
Dish ish about an Elvish impershinator, big deep voicsh.
Thanks for watching!
@@PaulStoneFilms yesh das ish my pleasure
Not to long ago I met a lady and we had the most incredible romantic time. I thought we were going to be together forever. Then about a week later right out of the blue, she leaves me a John deer letter. So I called her up and she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her enough or something, I mean I don't know I really wasn't paying attention. But the thing that hurt the most is I think she was seeing another guy......I never did find out who.
Thanks for watching.
Big Elvis
Valleere e valleere was a belly youtube pictures of
No! I no die Im comback im reincarnated
Elvis Presley.
Thanks for watching!
Who was doing the singing?
Big Elvis sang all the songs.
He's gotta whole lotta snackin' goin on!
Nice documentary. The guy has a good voice but he’s not better than Elvis. I didn’t hear this guy sing any of Elvis power ballads like Hurt, I’ll never fall in love again, American Trilogy, what now my love ,etc.
Why would you think he sings better than Elvis?
Also that guy can’t dance to any of the fast songs so he is not a complete Elvis Tribute Artist.
I don’t understand why you would think he’s better than Elvis?
Thanks for watching!
20 seconds in and false information...He died at his home, Graceland, not a hospital and he was 42, not 45! LMAO!!!
It’s a real news cast. Fake news back then too.
What is candy camra 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂selly
Do you mean candid camera
Yeah....nice try, but highly doubt this dude is related to EP or that his mother had a relationship with EP. His voice is ok....nothing like Elvis.
Elvis has more paternity and relationship claims than any other public figure, past and present. Wishful thinking and dreams are free, of course ✌🏼
Thanks for watching!
There is only one elvis presley
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤🎉😮
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching!
NO WAY IS THIS GUY THE SON OF ELVIS , NO POWER IN THE VOICE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ELVIS , FAR TO BIG NOT NICE TO SEE .JUST MAKING MONEY FROM THE KING .
Pitiful
Thanks for watching
I do not know if Pete is Elvis's son, but if he is not, he should be by God!!
I agree!
Johnny Harra comes really close but Pete's moves are pretty accurate similar as those from Elvis
he may have a voice but far to big , this was not Elvis even on his last show Elvis was not that big .
Thanks for watching!
Elvis had a twisted colon and was unable to use the restroom which caused the heart attack. The biggest Elvis ever got was 350lbs. The same thing killed the little girl Heather O'Rourke of the movie Poltergeist.
Thanks for watching Scott
Where did you get that false info from, & did you personally see Elvis Live In Concert weighing 350 lbs? Well I've got news for you, there are many true Elvis fans like myself who did see Elvis in concert, as well as CZcams video's that never show a 350 lb Elvis. Get your facts straight before commenting, thanks.
Wish they would stop doing videos like this about Elvis Presley or if he had other children besides Lisa Marie Presley, and can't even get the facts straight about the age of Elvis when he died, "45".
We used an actual news cast recording from the day he died. I am a life long Elvis fan and of course I know the correct age. We thought it would be fun to show fake news existed in the 70s. Thanks for watching.
@@PaulStoneFilms It was indeed fun. I enjoyed it. 🙂
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you love great docs. @@scruffyleartist
He was 42 when he passed away
@@jeremiahjohnson7713 Yes we know. The news got it wrong but we left it in. Thanks for watching.
He sounds like Elvis 😮 i am convinced that is his son.
So am I!!
Oh really? While there are a few other ETA's that sound even more like Elvis, & can even talk like Elvis.
0:27. He was 42.
Yup. The news got it wrong and we thought it would be cool to show that.
He needs to impersonate a healthy guy now
