Lewis Hamilton Is ‘Quite Excited at the Prospect’ of ‘Doing His Own Show’ With Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian and momager Kris Jenner have managed to convince Lewis Hamilton that being a part of their Hulu show, The Kardashians, will be good for his brand, a source tells Star.

“[It’s] shocking to a lot of people in his world but also somewhat expected,” reveals the source. “What no one saw coming is that he’s actually talking about doing his own show with Kim.”

The Formula One driver, 41, “seems to be quite excited at the prospect of it,” the source adds, “so this isn’t a case of him being forced into anything” by the reality TV star, 45, or her family.

Still, Star‘s source says Hamilton’s pals are warning that he could be biting off way more than he can chew.

“Lewis just rolls his eyes at anyone that warns him about Kim and her family and the whole Kardashian curse,” the source admits. “He says it’s ridiculous and not something he’s worried about at all because he’s secure in himself and his own abilities.”

In addition to his storied racing career, the seven-time Formula One champion starred and served as a producer on Brad Pitt‘s box office hit, F1: The Movie. He’s also lent his voice for the animated children’s film Cars and video games like Fortnite and Call of Duty.

“Lewis has always been attracted to the limelight, so anyone that really knows him shouldn’t actually be all that shocked that he’s open to this,” says the source. “But of course it’s going to cause a huge uproar when people find out.”
