The Briton was shocked by the NFL star's height

And Norris says he may use his new Kelce connection to secure tickets to a Kansas City Chiefs game – and maybe even a Taylor Swift concert.

After the Miami GP, Kelce and Norris were spotted at celebrity party and supper club Carbone Beach on South Beach.
And the two athletes made an instant connection.
"One of my friends introduced me to him. And he was an awesome guy," Norris told BBC Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James.
"About double my height so looking straight up...but he was a legend.

"He was very sweet and, yeah, we exchanged numbers and hopefully I can get to a game one day....or a Taylor Swift concert."
The Briton added that he would try to be subtle to land Swift concert tickets from her boyfriend Kelce.
"I'm not just going to use him. I've got to warm up to it a little bit," he added.
"''Do you want to come to a couple of grands prix? Oh and by the way, my sister's...and I need to go with my sister'... That kind of thing."

Kelce had an incredible couple of days without Swift attending both the Kentucky Derby and the Miami GP earlier this month.
He then continued his epic NFL offseason by watching Swift in concert in Paris.

The 34-year-old Swift performed Kansas City red and yellow in front of a cheering Parisian crowd early in the show.
And before singing The Tortured Poets Department track, So High School, she did a spin in an all-white gown before sending a kiss toward the NFL star.
The U.S. Sun has previously revealed how the Super Bowl-winning superstar showered Swift with everything from her favorite flowers to bespoke leather jackets and bags.
And ahead of her tour resumption in France, according to a source close to the NFL star, Travis sought a Parisian touch in his gifts.
He purchased white orchids for $2,050 from one of Paris' oldest florists, Rene Veyrat, which has been in operation since 1936.
Travis also sourced $700 macarons for his girlfriend and a pair of $1,840 Chanel sunglasses.
Kelce finished it off with an $11,700 Chanel 2.55 handbag.
Meanwhile, a teammate of Kelce recently revealed how the Chiefs tight end reacted to Swift showing up to his games.
On an episode of the Like A Farmer Podcast, long snapper James Winchester revealed the moment Kelce saw Swift in the stands.
Travis Kelce the actor
NFL star Travis Kelce has apparently landed his first major acting role.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to become a "heavyweight" figure in music and entertainment.
Kelce has seen his star power rise after going public with his girlfriend Taylor Swift last summer.
The 34-year-old has now been cast in the new horror series Grotesquerie.
Directed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, the drama is set to land on FX this fall.
Kelce will appear in the show alongside Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.
On Tuesday, Nash-Betts appeared to confirm Kelce's involvement with a surprise Instagram reveal.
"This is what happens when WINNERS link up" she captioned a clip featuring Kelce in a backstage dressing room.
Winchester initially believed that Swift coming to their game was "made up," but eventually someone pointed her out to him.
He then walked over to Kelce on the sidelines to show him where Swift was.

“I’m like, ‘Hey man, that’s cool she’s here,’ and he’s like, ‘What do you mean? Did they put her up on the Jumbotron or something?’ and I’m like, ‘No, no, Jay just told me,'” Winchester said.
He claimed Kelce started "smiling and blushing" once he knew Swift was in the stadium.
