A scene from the new FX show American Sports Story,
Aaron Hernandez has been trending on social media, mainly for its comical approach to an impression of Robert Gronkowski. Fans and viewers are sharing the spot, proving how the series will really bring the people that take center stage to life, particularly in the sense that it does with Gronkowski.
What Gronk Was Saying About His Friend's Portrayal
A few weeks ago, Gronkowski appeared on the “Up & Adams” show with Kay Adams and shared his thoughts on the actor who is playing him in the biopic, Laith Wallschleger. The tight end said that Wallschleger is a good friend of his and that they have known each other for some 14 years. "It was certainly over the top," Gronkowski said. He added: "Hey, fun fact? That's my good buddy Laith playing me there.". He totally really went all out, and I feel like it just fits the show perfectly, especially with the other characters like Coach Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. It's exaggerated, but that's just how this show was produced. "

Gronkowski also shared that Wallschleger has been his double in the past because, as an example, he was his double in a commercial for FanDuel's Kick of Destiny. That means a collaboration in the past gives another level of bonding between them, which makes the impression even more special.
Acknowledge the Differences
Although Grönowski acknowledged the hard work that went into the impression, he jokingly noted some physical differences between himself and Wallschleger. "He's shorter than me and not as jacked either," Gronkowski joked. "But he's alright." This light-hearted commentary shows some aspects of Gronkowski's personality and the ability to take things in stride further into ensuring his likability among fans.
Overall, the clip shows not only the comedy of *American Sports Story* but is also a testament of amity and camaraderie, subsisting between Gronkowski and Wallschleger. Such buzz would truly picture that humor and authenticity have found their prima seats for this show.
