The 41-year-old actor famously appeared as Elvis Presley in 2005's Walk the Line, a film about the life and career of Johnny Cash (played by Joaquin Phoenix)—and apparently, the way Hilton got the role was a matter of pure happenstance.
"20 years ago I walked into a bar and Joaquin Phoenix told me I needed to play Elvis in Walk the Line and I guess you could say the rest is history!" Hilton wrote in his caption, while sharing a series of photos from the set of Walk the Line.
