Thanks to Margot Robbie, John Cena Reveals Secret Behind His Barbie Character and How He Landed the Role of a Lifetime in Upcoming $100 Million Project

John Cena has always presented himself as a massive hunk of the sports entertainment business. But Cena’s endeavor in the world of movies has allowed him to explore many other personalities through intriguing roles. The 16-time World champion is gearing up for the release of his latest film, Fast X, and has another major box-office attraction, Barbie to follow suit in two months.

But how did Margot Robbie, the main lead of the film, played a part in Cena’s casting? The Champ decided to spill the beans and reveal the full story.

Margot Robbie was filming across the street from The Champ

The former WWE champion joined the Fast and Furious franchise in 2021 for their ninth installment. He made his debut as the estranged brother of Vin Diesel’s character Dominik, Jakob Toretto. Following his successful stint in Fast 9, Cena was summoned back for the sequel, Fast X to reprise his character.

The interesting part came during the time John Cena was filming with the Fast crew. The Champ found himself across the street from Margot Robbie, who was in the middle of shooting “Barbie” at the same time. Cena recollected the incident about running into Robbie while the duo was on neighboring sets during a recent appearance on the Today Show. 

Cena said, “We literally randomly ran into each other as friends and … she was filming across the street … Fast 10 was filming across the street from Barbie.”

Cena further stated that Margot herself gave him the idea to join the cast of Barbie to which he revealed that he already had been pitching for it. The Cenation Leader concluded by crediting Robbie for helping her land a role in the movie.

She said why don’t you do Barbie … I have been trying … and Margo makes a lot of decisions for that … and I said I’ll do whatever you need.” 

Cena will be seen in Fast X and Barbie as his latest Hollywood servings, but what about his recent WWE run?

Despite his busy Hollywood schedule, John Cena has remained true to his roots. He likes to step back into the world of WWE every chance he gets. The Champ’s appearances may have reduced over the years. But his undying passion for the business and fans remains intact to this day.

Cena was last seen competing in a wrestling match at WrestleMania 39. He battled against the young upstart, Austin Theory for the WWE United States title in a losing effort.

With age and years of physical torment catching up, along with his full commitment to a Hollywood career, there is only one question that remains unanswered. Is it time John Cena officially hangs up his wrestling boots and join the list of retired legends?
