A teenage Elvis Presley enthusiast has overcome significant bullying to establish a career as a full-time impersonator.
Lewis Goddard, now 18, discovered his love for Elvis Presley four years ago after watching a performance online. He began honing his Elvis moves and style.
However, his classmates' taunts and bullying over his passion for the iconic singer led him to skip classes and eventually drop out of college. This difficult period did not deter Goddard from his dream.
Last weekend, Goddard performed as Elvis for an estimated crowd of 5,000 people, marking a significant achievement in his journey from adversity to public performance.
