Not only do multiple backstage videos reinstate this but also interviews with celebrities who’ve worked with him reaffirm this fact. Given his behavior, it doesn’t surprise anyone that he pulled off a hilarious prank on a former co-star while in a restaurant.

But the shocking thing is that this prank led to Cena getting a role in one of  2023’s most anticipated movies.

On the Chris Van Vliet show, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were promoting their upcoming movie, Barbie. Talking with a wrestling journalist, the topic of John Cena was bound to come up and Robbie revealed the true story of how she asked Cena about the role.

She started telling the story by saying, “Actually, I ran into him because I went to pay the bill and they were like, ‘John Cena already took care of it’. I was like what? Where is he? He is a big guy. Because I couldn’t see him. He’s hard to hide and then I found him and I was like, ‘What are you doing here?’
