Awww!
"You were actually the youngest Elvis impersonator?", Bruno
was asked during an interview.
"The ill-est
I like to call it. ...", Bruno
replied; "Straight up, four years
old in an Elvis suit, straight up!", he said laughing.
"Look at him now ... ", chimed in his best friend, Phil Lawrence, "now he's sayin' 'made it!' ... No more rhinestones! We good!".
In this clip (below, at the bottom of post) you can actually see "little
Elvis" at the age of four sitting with his dad (Peter Hernandez) during an interview
with Jonathan Ross. When Jonathan asked,
"Can you tell me ... how long you've been performing as Elvis?", 4 year old Bruno answered,
"Since when I was two.".
Two years old?! Good
grief!!
"What do you like
about Elvis?" Jonathan had further queried, to which the "Baby"
Bruno had promptly replied, curling his lip like Elvis would do, "I like
his singing and his dance and his lip!"

In an Interview with Piers Morgan a now fully grown (and, of course, Fully Famous!) Bruno recalled a time
when, as a child, he wasn't able to perform ...
"I remember one
night I had a hundred and some odd fever, I was about 5 years old ... and my
Mother wouldn't let me perform and I was bawling all night! ... I had to call
in sick that night and I didn't get to put my jump suit on!"

In that same Interview,
Bruno continued on to disclose just how much he had enjoyed performing as Elvis,
sharing, " ... We had this show six nights a week at the Sharaton Waikiki
so, it was me going to school, and then at night I'd turn into Batman!"

"My father had a
group called 'The Love Notes'," he explained, "it
was like a 1950's rock & roll show. And my Uncle would do the Elvis
impersonation in the show, which was my favorite part when I was a kid.
So, every night I'd be front row and I'd be begging my dad 'bring me up on
stage!'; and, finally, one night he brought me up! ... And here I am!"
