John Cena told reporters he appreciates wrestling but it does not define him who he is. He called the sport a passion, not his entire persona. 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 stood out. The move has widened his public image beyond the ring, and fans have reacted positively.
