Apparently there’s a petition for Dwayne Johnson, more popularly known as “The Rock”, to play Plato… or if there isn’t already there definitely should be one!

Now, hear me out…

While we all know the Athenian philosopher was called Plato(n), the origins of his more famous moniker are still quite mysterious. What we do know is this:

–Plato was a wrestler

-Platon is a nickname based on the adjective ‘broad’

-According to Diogenes Laërtius his wrestler coach, Ariston of Argos, gave him the name

–Seneca seconds the meaning of the name was given based on his broad chest

Ergo, he basically went by his wrestling nickname… much like Dwayne Johnson. QED! Seems to be a pretty tight argument, if I do say so myself!
