Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Hilariously Tries To Fit In Taycan, Fails
Apparently, when you're as big as The Rock, it narrows down the number of cars you can actually fit in considerably.
Not Your Average Consumer
By all accounts, the Porsche Taycan has been a massive hit. It's selling like hotcakes, and it has received nothing but positive reviews from everyone who has driven one. But when you're a large human being like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, former pro wrestler and current TV and movie star, you don't fit too well in many cars, and that's apparently the case with the Taycan, too.

It It Fits
We know this because Johnson recently posted a picture of himself and a Taycan from the set of his new Netflix movie Red Notice on Instagram. In the caption, he explains his dilemma, which apparently made for a difficult day at work. "Aaaaand guess who's too big to fit in yet another sports car and now we have to change the entire shot sequence around," Johnson wrote.

Big Problem
Johnson is reportedly rather large at 6'5" and 260 pounds, but we must also take into consideration the fact that all of that weight is pure muscle. Which makes things like buying clothes and apparently getting into sports cars rather difficult. Regardless, his story about this day on the set is quite humorous for those of us that don't face these kinds of problems in everyday life.

Getting Stuck
The crew spent months and apparently a lot of money getting the Taycan to the U.S. for some reason. Perhaps they just couldn't find one sitting on a dealer lot. The idea was that the car would be used in a chase scene with Johnson behind the wheel, but when he tried to climb behind the wheel, his giant back got stuck in the process.

Time to Reflect
After they finished laughing, the film crew realized that this was a huge problem. They all apparently sat around for a while, trying to figure out how they were still going to be able to make this scene happen. Eventually, they came up with a creative solution.

Wait and See
Unfortunately, Johnson didn't share what that solution actually was, so we suppose we'll just have to watch the movie and try to figure it out. Perhaps they just sat Johnson in front of a green screen and made it look like he was sitting in a Taycan.

Humorous Tale
Regardless, we found this little story to be quite humorous, and also rather surprising. We rarely think about folks that are too big to fit in normal-sized cars, but apparently, this is just a regular problem for folks like Dwayne Johnson.
