Meet Britain's youngest Elvis Presley impersonator who is wowing crowds - aged NINE. Talented Cooper Worthington has perfected the sounds and moves of the King of Rock'n'Roll and has begun shaking up audiences on stage despite his tender years. The baby-faced rocker said his dream was now to take his show to Las Vegas - and it was always on his mind to become a star. His performing career started with a Freddie Mercury act where he begun busking at the age of six - pulling in £100 a session. But after hearing of the Queen front-man's love of Elvis, Cooper discovered him on YouTube - and has spent every moment since working on mimicking the Memphis solo sensation. Mum Kelly Worthington, of Paignton, Devon, said they hadn't pushed him into performing at all - but couldn't stop him if they tried. She added: "From the moment he wakes up to the time he goes to bed all he is thinking of is singing and dancing. "There is no-one quite like him - certainly at his age. No-one is doing Elvis like he is and he started when he was just seven. "We haven't pushed him at all, we couldn't have stopped him - he just loves it so much and is his passion. "He knows all of Elvis' songs now and has perfected the dance moves. He's also grown hair his long enough to quiff it himself naturally. "He has even found an old American hair gel that Elvis used to use. "He now just wants to be famous. His eyes light up when he is on stage." Cooper said: "I love Elvis' singing the best. I want to be so famous I don't have to go to school - I just want to perform forever."
