Lewis Hamilton is a great example of an all-rounder, as he is not only an undisputed G.O.A.T., but also a multitalented jack of all trades. Hamilton keeps himself up-to-date on everything pop culture and beyond while also engaging in movies during his downtime. One lesser-known fact about the Mercedes driver is that he has already made his movie debut with a surprise cameo in Cars 2.

Now, being a movie star is one thing, but being a movie buff is another. Lewis Hamilton, despite his status, enjoys simple things like mere mortals do, and watching movies and relaxing is one of them. His choice of movies has made him a fan of Zac Efron, or so he says.

Lewis Hamilton recently came across Zac Efron’s ‘The Iron Claw’, and his reaction to it was worth sharing. There’s no doubt that the 7-time world champion liked the movie; he also went ahead to share some kind words for Efron. It was recently reported that Lewis Hamilton reviewed the movie and stated, “It didn’t get the nominations and stuff that I feel like it deserved. I was really proud of Zac for his performance.”

Being a movie star himself, although it was for a few-second cameo, Lewis Hamilton has an understanding of how much work goes into making a movie. To add the cherry on top, Zac Efron’s performance in the movie was stellar, and many would also agree with Lewis Hamilton’s take on the movie.

The movie is about wrestling, and the fact that it’s based on a sport piqued his curiosity. This film is a great take on the competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. With a cast of Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Lily James, and Maxwell Jacob Friedman, this is a must-watch that can even be certified by Lewis Hamilton.

That being said, there are other movies that Hamilton has been involved with.
