In a surprise twist, Lando Norris has swapped Spiderman for a superstar of a different kind. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, has been handpicked for a special F1 role as Lando Norris moves on from his doppelganger, actor Tom Holland. While Norris, who weighs 150 lbs., may not exactly share physical similarities with the former wrestling champion, the F1 driver maintains that they are of a “similar build.” This surprising selection followed an episode where Norris appeared to sideline the Spider-Man star.

Lando Norris, one of the shining stars of F1, has been a regular in headlines, not just for his track performance but also for his uncanny resemblance to Tom Holland, who breathed life into the latest Spider-Man franchise. The Monaco GP in 2023 became a memorable event when Holland’s photo with Norris went viral, triggering the fans to make thrilling suggestions about the possibility of Holland playing Norris in a biopic, or vice versa. But in a recent turn of events, Norris has opted for an unexpected candidate – former wrestler and Hollywood heavyweight, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

In a recent YouTube video by McLaren titled “Lando Norris: Same Interview, One Year Apart”, Norris was asked the same questions in 2022 and 2023 to gauge how his responses have evolved. When asked who would play him in a movie, his answer transitioned from Tom Holland in 2022 to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in 2023, with a humorous note on their “similar build, similar size, uh, the Rock.”After all, while Tom Holland and Norris share British heritage and uncanny resemblances, the physically towering Dwayne Johnson stands in stark contrast to the relatively lean F1 driver.
