Kurt Russell says Elvis Presley took surprising precaution before he kicked him during filming

Kurt Russell is taking a trip down memory lane and recalling how he went from kicking Elvis Presley to becoming him.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Russell recalled his role in the 1963 movie, "It Happened at the World's Fair," where his only job was to kick Presley on-screen.

"My role was to kick Elvis in the shin so a girl he liked would take pity on him," Russell told the outlet. The star noted that the King took precautions to ensure that Russell's kick did not injure his shin.
