The Oscar-nominated actor's uncle was an Elvis Presley impersonator, and he inspired Ryan to perform from a young age.

Appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show on Thursday (19.03.26), Ryan revealed: "So my uncle was an Elvis [Presley] impersonator.

"When I was eight, I came home one day from school, and he was bedazzling a white jumpsuit in the living room with a big eagle on the back, and I said, 'What are you doing?' And he said, 'I'm gonna be Elvis for a little while.' And he was.
