9 Dec, 2025
Summary
- A nine-year-old boy was accidentally dressed as Elvis for his school's elf-themed concert.
- The family misunderstood the role of 'Elvis the Elf', thinking it was Elvis Presley.
- Oscar embraced his unique costume, delighting the audience and family with his performance.
A mix-up over a school Christmas concert costume led to an unexpected Elvis Presley impersonation. Nine-year-old Oscar Wilkins was cast as 'Elvis the Elf,' but his family only heard 'Elvis,' leading them to procure a rock-and-roll outfit rather than an elf costume.
Oscar's family discovered the error when he took the stage, standing out among a dozen identically dressed elves. Despite the initial surprise, Oscar fully embraced his flamboyant attire, performing as a standard elf with a flair for the dramatic. The audience and his family found the situation incredibly amusing.
The incident at Penrhiwpeier Primary School in Aberdare, Wales, became a memorable moment. Oscar's cheerful acceptance of his unconventional role ensured everyone saw the funny side, turning a potential embarrassment into a joyous occasion and even sparking his interest in Elvis's music.
