For the 29-year-old, the alteration into Jelvis Pelvis wasn’t a sudden decision but rather a natural evolution, as his appreciation for Elvis began at a young age.<\/p>\n
Busking in Belfast has become Jordan\u2019s stage for showcasing his tribute act, and his presence has been a huge hit with locals and visitors alike. He also moved to Liverpool for several months in recent years where he took to the streets of the Scouse city to showcase his Elvis-inspired act before returning to Belfast.<\/p>\n
But now he’s turning his attention to acting and with Northern Ireland already producing hit series like Line of Duty<\/a> and Blue Lights<\/a>, Jordan hopes a dream role is just around the corner.<\/p>\n He told Belfast Live<\/a>: “Acting has given people a different perspective of me. They used to just see me as Elvis and put me in that box, but now they’re seeing me more than that. People are looking at me differently and treating me differently.<\/p>\n “They now know I’m not just capable of doing Elvis on the street, I’m capable of so much more, and it really has helped. I want to be taken seriously as an actor now – I don’t just want to be the Elvis guy anymore.<\/p>\n “It has opened many opportunities for me and helped me get to where I am, but it’s not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I’m studying my screen course with Shelley Lowry so acting is where I want to focus.<\/p>\n Jordan Devine AKA Jelvis Pelvis(Image: Justin Kernoghan )<\/p>\n “Since I was younger, I’ve always been really into movies and TV shows and it’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a young age. I’ve always imagined myself on the screen and looked up to actors like Liam Neeson<\/a> or Clint Eastwood.<\/p>\n “I like to watch limited series and dramas on ITV<\/a>, BBC<\/a>, and Netflix<\/a>, so I would love to get a role one day in some sort of a crime drama or thriller movie, some sort of Irish production.”<\/p>\n When asked if he’s hung up his mic as Jelvis Pelvis, Jordan added: “I’ve just separated the two sides of my life and want to separate the Elvis character from my acting and everyday life because I don’t want to get too muddled up. I’m using a wig now and I’m not dyeing my hair anymore for Elvis.”<\/p>\n “I’d love maybe in 10 years to be on some TV<\/a> show. I’ve put all the work into Elvis for four years, so I’m capable of putting the same amount of work into acting,” the Strabane<\/a> native added.<\/p>\n “I have a high following online and people are being very encouraging towards my acting. Many people have a lot of belief in me and this is what I want to do. Anyone interested in me for a role can look at my content on my Instagram<\/a> and TikTok (@jordandevineactor) and contact me there if you think I could be the right person to fit into your project.”<\/p>\n Video: Justin Kernoghan<\/p>\n Belfast Live Social on TikTok<\/a> will be jam-packed with food reviews, concert announcements, vox-pops of all the important questions and more – giving you handy NI-centric What’s On news at your fingertips.<\/p>\n Be sure to give us a follow HERE <\/a>and comment the type of content you’d like to see from the team in the future.
