We’ve just been chatting to Tom Jones. He was ace. The full interview is out next week, but here’s a sneaky peek to keep you going…
Did you ever see Elvis turn down a cheeseburger?
Er, no. He used to like a pizza as well. He used to keep the pizza under his bed.
Did he have a favourite topping?
I don’t know. I never checked. But we’d be up late, singing gospel songs, and he’d say (slips into a bad Elvis impersonation), ‘Do you like pizza?’ And I’d say (in an emphasised Welsh valley boy accent), ‘Yeah, I don’t mind it, but I don’t want one right now. I’ve already eaten.’ And he’d say, ‘Oh, well I always keep a few handy.’ He had it under the bed, I remember, just in case. But he used to laugh about it, you know? He wasn’t a secret eater.
Tom Jones reveals more on Elvis Presley’s eating habit in next month’s Time Out Abu Dhabi. Make sure you grab a copy, hitting the shelves on April 1.
