Hollywood Superstar Bonded Over Wrestling with John Cena While They Shot a Movie

Who doesn’t want to work with John Cena? He obviously comes across as a delightful person to work with, and regardless of which industry someone is from, they love working with the man.

Recently, Hollywood actress Alison Brie appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During that conversation she revealed she bonded with Cena over wrestling while filming for Freelance – an action-comedy.

“He’s great. He’s the best. I’ve never worked with him before, but we bonded pretty quickly over wrestling because I used to work on a show called ‘Glow’, which is about wrestling.”

However, before meeting Cena, Brie put in the extra effort to unlock a new fitness level for herself. She wanted to ensure that her athleticism and fitness didn’t seem completely frail when she was filming with him.

“I was just gearing up to meet John Cena. You know, I just wanted to. Like most of the movie, I’m just running near John Cena. And I wanted to be a baddie.”

Well, she isn’t wrong. The Champ is an absolute baddie, and Alison Brie seems thoroughly impressed with his personality.

John Cena missed WrestleMania 38 because of a film shoot

While WrestleMania 38 was two nights of absolute thrills, The Champ wasn’t in attendance.

As noted since John Cena’s departure following SummerSlam 2021, he had to resume his Hollywood schedule. He put it on hold when he returned to WWE at Money in the Bank 2021.

Now, his Hollywood schedule takes precedence over WWE pay-per-views.

Reportedly, Cena was filming for the upcoming Looney Toons film – Coyote vs Acme in New Mexico. The plot revolves around Wile E. Coyote suing Acme for faulty products. Cena plays the role of Coyote’s boss when he was in Acme.

As of now, it’s unknown if John Cena plans to return to WWE anymore. His last match was against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2021 for the Universal Championship, which he lost.
