Presley ‘named his horse after Star Trek’

- By JOE NERSSESSIA­N

Elvis Presley was such a big Star Trek fan he named his horse after the sci-fi show, a new documentar­y reveals.

The king of rock and roll is also claimed to have once recorded 35 tracks in just five nights, according to The Seven Ages Of Elvis, which has been made to mark 40 years since the superstar’s death.

Celeste Yarnall, Presley’s co- star in Live A Little, Love A Little, said: “Elvis was a Star Trek fan.

“He even had a horse named Star Trek.”

The actress had appeared on Presley’s favourite TV show just a year before they worked together.

She said: “First day on set, Elvis gave me the biggest hug, and he said, ‘I just couldn’t wait to meet you. I knew you were coming. And I know you from Star Trek.”
