The upcoming sitcom, based upon the life of professional wrestler and actor, actually features three different actors playing Dwayne at three different points in his life: Adrian Groulx is 10-year-old Dwayne, Bradley Constant is his 15-year-old self, and Uli Latukefu plays the star at 18–20-years-old.

Here’s the official summary for the new sitcom: As Dwayne Johnson runs for president in 2032, he takes a comedic look back at his extraordinary life through the outrageous stories of his family and youth that shaped him into the man he is today. He explores his childhood years living amid influential wrestling icons while his dad rose to fame in the business, his rebellious teenage years attending high school in Pennsylvania, and his football years teamed up with powerhouse players at the University of Miami. In his telling, Dwayne explains that while his experiences have been larger than life, he remains a down-to-earth guy who still relates to the American people.
