Cher has explained why she once turned down a date with Elvis Presley.The pop icon, 77, spoke about why she prefers younger men during a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show.“I’m really shy when I’m not working, and kind of shy around men,” she explained. “And the reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older – well, now they’re all dead – but before they just never… they were always terrified to approach me.”Cher went on to agree that younger men are “bolder”, adding: “[They’re] raised by women like me.”The conversation about the singer’s love life arose after she revealed that she once turned down a date with Elvis.“It was because I was nervous and I knew of the people around him,” Cher told Hudson.
