Yes, that shot was nearly identical!

Since we know Johnny so well, it was hard to suspend disbelief and see him as Elvis but for the most part, it worked for me. He did excellent small things like hold his hands differently than for other roles - he knew the way Elvis wore a watch or bracelet and had his hand on his guitar. That showed that he studied the details to reinforce the illusion but fortunately, it wasn't merely a parody, like so many Elvis performances.
