In his latest Tweet, we can see Cena standing with Spencer Thomas. The latest movie that the duo worked on was Netflix’s Hidden Strike. Unlike his co-actor Jackie Chan, ‘The Prototype’ needed a stuntman to do certain parts of his action sequences. In such cases, Thomas would lend his expertise. The picture that Cena posted on his Twitter also appears to be from the set of the same movie.

Although both the talented men look great in the photo, that’s not the only captivating thing about the tweet.

The former wrestler left a heartfelt message for his colleague by saying, “Happy Birthday to [Spencer Thomas]. I am so grateful for you and your courage. I never take for granted all the help you’ve given and continue to give over the years.

In the message, we can see the 46-year-old being grateful for his action-movie partner and for the courage that he shows every time. It’s not an easy task to risk your life for a movie scene, and Cena knows that and appreciates Thomas’ contribution.

There are several Hollywood superstars who publicly display gratitude for their off-screen colleagues on set. Wrestler and actor Dwayne Johnson is among them. In fact, he once thanked his long-term stunt double with a grand gesture.

What did Dwayne Johnson do for his stunt double?

The Rock once admitted to having 12 stunt doubles for his action sequences. Although he also claimed did several scenes himself, the number he mentioned was undoubtedly a big one. However, out of all 12, Tanoai Reed has perhaps stayed with the former wrestler for the longest amount of time, starting with The Scorpion King. ‘The Brahma Bull’ wanted to thank Reed for his time and effort and for working with him since 2002.
