After 125 Hours of Practice, John Cena Joined Legendary Actors Like Clint Eastwood, Anthony Hopkins, Sandra Bullock and More in Mastering This Skill

John Cena is a man of many talents. He is an actor, a rapper, and a pro wrestler. But did you know he is also a pianist? The man can’t seem to stop astonishing the world with his plethora of exceptional qualities, right?! Cena is a hustler and has hustled his way to the top.

Even after becoming one of the top successful stars in the film and pro wrestling industry, his hunger for doing more and learning new stuff never ceased. That’s one of the reasons that drove him to start learning the piano a couple of years ago. And now, he plays the piano like a pro.

How long it took Cena to master playing the piano?

‘The Champ’ began taking piano lessons at 40. He practiced religiously to learn the skill. And after almost one and a half years, he mastered it. In 2017, he told Parade Magazine that every day he would dedicate 15 minutes of his busy schedule to learn piano. 

He said, “I tell myself, ‘You can surf the web for 15 minutes, or put the time toward a skill.’ What am I gonna learn in 15 minutes? Your first 15 minutes, maybe where the middle C note is. But after about 125 hours, you learn how to play the piano.” 

The 46-year-old star doesn’t believe in wasting time by scrolling feeds on Instagram or Facebook. Instead, he likes to utilize every second of his day to generate an outcome that enhances his capabilities. He started learning piano almost six years ago, but do you know how his journey began? What motivated him to learn a new skill at 40 years old?
