There are several WWE wrestlers who have worked in Hollywood alongside the popular names of the industry. People would think that they are not masters of this field but with time, the wrestlers have proved them wrong. While a former wrestler is now one of the richest actors across the globe, there is one more legend, who made an Academy award-winning actress feel a little inferior.
Among the numerous projects, John Cena is a part of the Fast and Furious franchise. Along with him, some well-known personalities like Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, and Charlize Theron were also a part of F9: The Fast Saga. However, on-screen we would see more of Cena with Theron as both actors share most of their scenes together. Both actors spoke of their experience of working together. Theron’s response to this was quite shocking, mostly because the remarks were coming from an acclaimed actress.

During the premiers of F9: The Fast Saga, the 47-year-old was walking on her first red carpet when she was asked about her experience with The Champ. To this, the actress described her on-set experience, especially with Cena. At first, she was at a loss for words when attempted to define The People’s Champion. Words like lovely and amazing were all she could say. However, she then articulated her thoughts and expressed them unabashedly.
Theron said, “A part of me is like waiting for the shoe to drop because it’s almost too good to be true. I was like nobody’s that nice but that’s how nice he is.”
“I just um just remembered being really tired after The Old Guard and I was like struggling with some line and he was so prepared I was like oh I better like snap to it like this guy’s ready to party I gotta like bring my A-game,” she added.
We know the 16-time World Champion is always the best at what he does. But to hear it from a personality who achieved a lot in her field makes fans more proud of Cena. However, his great work in Hollywood not only benefits him but WWE as well.
