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