John Cena told reporters he likes wrestling but it does not shape him who he is. He called the sport a passion, not his entire identity. The comment came during a press tour for his latest film.
The Hollywood Reporter notes that studios now see Cena as a surefire bet for comedy projects. He is often employed to push movies forward. A New York Times review of ‘Little Brother’ singled out his performance, saying it made an impact. The move has expanded his public image beyond the ring, and fans have responded well.
