John Cena landing his role in Barbie had an interesting backstory

John Cena has recently spilled the intriguing story of how a serendipitous encounter with Margot Robbie led to him securing the role of Merman Ken in Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated film, Barbie.

He said that he met Robbie while working on the sets of his recent film Fast X, which happened to be near Barbie’s set. Cena said that it was destiny that led to him being offered the part of Merman Ken, something, sort of, he never did earlier.

The former WWE superstar recounted the story, saying, “I haven’t worked with Margot before. We literally randomly ran into each other as friends. Fast X was filming across the street from Barbie.’Why don’t you do Barbie?’ I said, ‘I’ve been trying!’ And Margot makes a lot of the decisions for that, and I said, ‘Well, I’ll do whatever you need.'”

Now, we need to wait for the next year to draw a constructive comparison between the effect of John Cena- Dua Lipa’s united star power in ‘Barbie’ and ‘Argylle’.
