Pro-wrestler turned actor, John Cena has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry through various channels and has accrued critical successes in all of them.
Originally from Massachusetts, Cena began his wrestling career in California in 1999 and quickly became a sensation with his trash-talking rapper persona. He has won the wrestling world championship a joint record 16 times as well as the WWE championship a record 13 times. Cena and his ‘superman-like’ character became the face of the WWE for a decade from 2005 to 2015.
Having retired from wrestling, Cena ventured into the film industry, following in Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s footsteps. Cena landed roles in Ferdinand (2017), Bumblebee (2018), F9 (2021) and The Suicide Squad (2021). Though these films have received mixed reviews, Cena’s acting ability and performances have generally been praised, particularly in The Suicide Squad.
