As a dad I can respect his perspective, having kids is not something anyone should do if they know they can't put 100% into it, and no kid should suffer just because the parents felt like they "had to" have children
@jekel thirteen ....using movie references isn't the best form of giving logical points. By that case, i can use a better excuse by saying after seeing Peacemaker's dad & what he represented its obvious such Person shouldn't be parenting. But in no way some random third persons has the real authority to advice what people should do & dont in their pursuit of life unless it genuinely harms Your wellbeing in some form...if you think anyone other than yourself is a Peacemaker dad material!
I got the opportunity of meeting John Cena one time and let me tell you he's probably the nicest person you'll ever meet. Massively kind, massively loving and a massive guy with nothing but a big heart. He is absolutely wonderful to every single one of his fans and he appreciates their kindness for where he is in life. Not too many stars truly appreciate their fans but John Cena is definitely one of them
I saw him at the airport a few years ago and asked if he would talk to my little brother who is a huge fan. He said “absolutely” and he FaceTimed with my brother and he freaked out. He was speechless. It was nice of him to do that.
I have met him backstage & experienced the opposite. Very cocky & did not want to take a pic with me. Then after begging, he stood 10 ft away from me to take the pic (pre covid)
This is why I love Drew, she let her guest talk and don't interrupt them trying to push the interview along or bring the topic back to themself, like some other host do.
Thank you, John Cena. His words have given me so much peace with how I feel of not wanting children, and how I don’t feel the calling to become one despite how many comments I get on how good of a mother I would make if I had a kid.
I’ve heard that all my life that I would be a good mom just as you have. I am so thankful to have a life without children. Loving life child free! Hope you find 100% peace being child free, you deserve your best life! ❤️❤️ Go live it! 😀

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to have children. So many people approach the prospect of having kids with an apathetic attitude like "Welp, guess I'll have kids now" and then do a horrible job parenting. If you want kids, or don't want kids it's ok to feel that way. Don't let anyone decide if you want to bring another life into the world except YOU.
Everything John Cena said was perfect, right on the spot. He’s found his passion, and he doesn’t want to sacrifice that passion for being a father, and that’s awesome.
The chemistry between Drew Barrymore & John Cena is Magic on screen here. Hope we see more interviews in the future, which is a longer one. I hope it happens.
I love the candid honesty John Cena brought to this interview. I also appreciate that Drew saw and recognized the self awareness that it takes to get to that kind of decision. It'd be easy to deflect, because telling others you don't want to have kids is still a tough conversation in our society. More people should give themselves the permission to follow their desires.
@@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow as someone, who's basically raising his younger brother now instead of living my own life, I pretty much share his perspective, though. You don't need "spine" not to pull out, my dude. Kids shouldn't be raised by a TV set or RUclips/TikTok, so think thoroughly beforehand.
This is the type of masculinity I love. The strength it takes be so vulnerable and to be so in touch with your feelings and open about it, as famous wrestler is awesome to witness. I know there’s a lot of pretense and expectations of a certain type of masculinity in that world and I adore that he subverts expectations. I hope he’s genuinely like this and it’s not an act. He seems like a real gem.
@Ricky bobby because hes being honest. Alot of people aren't honest and say what they think people WANT to hear & not how they actually feel. And hes telling his truth and is open about it.
John Cena having this conversation in his peacemaker costume is gold. It really sends the message of his passion and ability to integrate his professional persona and deep opinions
I'm almost 50, and haven't had any kids yet. Sometimes I feel sad, empty, lonely, even if I'm surrounded by people because having kids has a totally different feeling. But I know for a fact that I'm not very keen on having them at the same time! It's contradicting emotions, but I learned to reconcile with both.
How do you cope with growing old and not having children to support you? I’ve had grandparents who can barely walk, clean, cook and see my parents, aunts and uncles take care of them. That’s my biggest fear of not having children, I want them to care for me when I get too old to be unable to
It’s because you’re telling yourself you should have kids, while also having a reason for not. It is totally okay to not have kids, there’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t.
Exactly why I know kids just aren't for me. I get along great with kids, but I 100% do not have a passion for being a father, I don't have that "it" factor that makes me excited to wake up to spend time with my kids. I'm content with my life, my career, and my current relationship.
@@joshuarobertson8866 which is why I don’t want kids if I could be a man and not contribute much to actually raising the kid i would lmao but kids take up to much work
You can see when he talks about make a wish how much he genuinely enjoys it and what he can do for people, Always happy seeing good people get the praise they deserve, Cena is a real one
I agree with his statement..I believe you do have to be 100% sure about being a parent.Coming from an abusive mother who was always worried about herself above her kids it does affect the kids in the long haul and its just plain selfish to bring kids into this world if you do not want them..I think most people should be like him
Nobody needs to have kids of their own to help children and make society better. Bravo to Cena for standing up for himself -- and being a huge asset to the children of world.
I want everyone to know John cena really is a pure genuine person I met him backstage at a wwe show once and he stopped to answer all my questions and wasn’t rude one bit this is an example of a genuine kind good hearted person and is a example of what everyone should try to be
I've said this constantly. Despite being good with kids, I've always known that I never wanted them. So I wouldn't make a great father and knowing that is why I choose not to. It's the right thing to do. If you're going to be a parent, it should be based on having an actual passion for it. Not simply because kids like you or that it's what society tells you that you're supposed to do.
You're absolutely correct and this is why it's so unfortunate that some parents have kids because of societal pressures and to compete against their other counter parts. The price of this becomes apparent when kids feel neglected and face self-esteem issues . I've seen this all unfold.
This is hands down one of the most wholesome interviews I’ve ever seen on a talk show! Thank you Drew for sidelining the format to ask these honest and real questions that you don’t see much on talk shows & John man….I’ve been a big fan of yours but this just skyrocketed you into my stratosphere of genuine fandom. You’re such a humble and wholesome guy! That answer was something I truly needed and I thank you for your honesty and outlook on the subject
I have been his fan from almost 12 years now. He has never failed to amaze me by his kindness, humbleness, talent. I love this person. I pray that he gets all love and praise he deserves.
@@TomasMikaX Did you hear what he has? Wrestling, shows, cameos, top Make a Wish candidate. He works way more than the average Hollywood actor. Add along that most of these Hollywood actors also hire nanny services, teachers, and many more while they’re pursuing their careers like John. John has said before he doesn’t want to be an absent father and wants to give that kid the world, but he can’t because he loves his career more He also said he just enjoys his life. Whether you want to admit it or not, having children will alter that. What if he just doesn’t want to make that change now?
@@Doejohnm he’s said in the past he wants to be there for his kids but he prioritizes his career first. To him it’s one or the other. That doesn’t necessarily mean he just doesn’t want kids
I agree with Cena's message before I thought that it was a black and white issue either you step up and be a parent or you don't. But yeah Cena makes a strong point with the word passion it's not simply just being financially ready and making time in a work schedule to raise children. If your heart isn't in it to give 100% to being the right father or mother to a child then it's not the time to raise a child you can't half-ass the responsibility. So I respect what Cena is saying he's not saying never to being a father he's just saying not right now because he want to find that calling on his own terms.
@@Rj-pw7zs That’s the implication you drew. But he’s also projecting. I’m the offspring of an absentee mother so I agree with most of what fella above said but that’s only just my experience and it doesn’t really mean anything.
I really am beginning to like John Cena more and more, he seems like such a genuine lovely person and I hope his career grows and grows, he’s fantastic as Peacemaker and a credit to the DC Universe 👍
I was super lucky to meet Cena back in 06’ and I’m here to tell you he’s magnificent to his fans. His handler tried to tear him away from the line to make his flight, and he politely but firmly told his his WWE staff he wasn’t leaving til the line was done Very humble and gracious
I discovered John Cena in 2008 I was 8 years old at the time I was so pure and clean that all I knew was to go to school and come back and watch Cena's match I will be 24 years old in about 1 month. And I'm an incredible fan of John Cena I've researched everything he's done outside of WWE I've even liked his films Cena broke up with Nikki Bella because Cena didn't want to I respect Nikki Bella She wanted to be a mother like every girl Even John Cena says that Even though he's so famous he's not ready to have children and he defends it I agree with Cena Having a child is the hardest responsibility in this world and you will constantly take a piece of yourself to protect it It's really not an easy thing if you're good at something, I don't want to have a child, I don't know if I can protect it, it's very hard to bring a child into such a bad world.
I’ve watched John Cena since I was a kid from wwe to movies, I can say hand on my heart he is an inspirational human being. His attitude to life and his work is amazing, he’s a superhero to millions of people. Some people like him some people don’t but he still stays true to himself which is a virtuous character trait. He’s one of my role models since I was a kid and to this day. God bless you.
🐻 Thanks Drew and John for sharing with us. My son had Cystic Fibrosis and his wish was granted from Make A Wish. When I found out awhile ago that John was a superhero wish granter , I was moved to tears ! So precious ! I now donate to Make A Wish. Blessings and luv from California. 🕊
man, its hard not to like this dude. especially when you see the footage of him as "the prototype", his wrestling persona before he became famous in the WWE.He really has worked hard to earn what he has.
While I'm not a wwe star or actor, I still understand Cena completely. I'm probably never going to have children because I don't think I could put 100% in. While my family says I'm good with kids, I know it's not for me to have my own. Cena is brilliant as usual
Smart man. I'll be 43 soon and have never wanted to marry nor have children. I've known since I was a kid myself that I don't have the desire for either. Everyone kept saying "Ohh it will change when you get older!" "It will change when you meet the right one!" or "Oh why not? You're so good with kids!" and all that cliche garbage you hear. Let me tell you. It hasn't changed. If anything the older I get, the more I enjoy my single life. I love my freedom and having my own life and to try to force myself to marry and have children because that's what "most people do" would be unfair to myself, and everyone else involved.
I really appreciate that John is in the public eye but doesn’t want to have kids. I think it’s becoming a more common decision and I hope others recognize that asking this question over and over is quite annoying.
When John spoke about self reflection, it hit deep. Considering everything going on in my life right now, that really resonated with me. Honestly wish I could talk with him. Feel like I could learn a lot from his wisdom. (4:10 - 5:21)
I'm 34 and I have no interest at all in having kids. It's too much responsibility. And I'm putting 100% in my job, I'm living on my own, paying my bills, taking care... My energy is there. I think I have no energy left in raising a child.
I’m 26 & don’t care for kids either honestly.. I have a niece & 3 nephews & that’s good enough for me. Don’t let nobody pressure you. Move at your own pace
I have always adored John Cena and my late Gran did too. I had my first and only child at 32 and up until I was in my late 20's I didn't really want to have kids. Then as I got older I felt like I was missing something. My son is special needs from being born 10 weeks early. He's the love of my life and is almost 14. Having children is a personal choice and people shouldn't be made to feel like less of a person because they choose not to have children.
I’ve met cena And he’s from my area I respect what he does And this makes me feel a little better because I’m very good with kids My exs daughter loved me My cousins gravitate to me and my nephew But I got health issues and just don’t see me being able to take care of a child But I kno I’d be an amazing dad I think I’ll just enjoy being the best uncle/ older cousin
Gotta love how he has just adopted the Peacemaker costume has his go to outfit. I get it. If I got the opportunity to have such freedom to develop my own comic character id wear the costume everywhere too.
@@eraniogem22 he gained way more new fans as compared to the fans he lose cena is the reason why wwe is famous here in the eastern countries literally everyone knows him here.
I'm 38, very soon 39, and have no intention of ever having children. I love them, and I also think I'd be good at it, but I have the same outlook as Cena. Right now, I just can't devote enough time to them, and when I can, I'll be too old to have children. No newborn should have a father that's 60+ in my book.
So inspiring, what a awesome human being ❤ I'm 34 and decided last year that while I know I would make a great mum, it's not what I want to do with my life. I really appreciate the honesty here, it's something that I hope to see spoken about more openly ❤
How does this only have 30k viewers?! Do people not know who Drew Barrymore is? Her part in Scream alone (producing and acting) makes her an absolute legend :)
You either love John Cena or you're wrong. I appreciate that he always gives thoughtful answers. Also, petition to stop asking all adults when they will have kids. ITA that you shouldn't have kids cuz you'd be good at it, isn't a good enough reason. You should have kids because you want kids, 100% in.
I never thought John Cena of all people (not a fan of him or wwe) would actually say something so inspirational that would truly hit home. God bless this man.
In my mid 20's when I became a first time father. I was scared of "Will I be enough" as the moment my daughter came out the wound is when I knew I got this. I love my daughter to the moon and back. Parenting is not easy;no. Having a connection and a bond is the absolute best thing in this vast universe can offer. I'm a damn proud father.
Man, what an actual angel. 650 kids he’s met who (a lot of) probably didn’t make it, and you can see it on his face that he knows that and carries it with him. There’s a reason you don’t see that accomplishment (so many visits with those kids) with more celebrities. It must not be easy at all, but he does it to brighten their days/weeks/years/lifetimes. What a gift man. Couldn’t be happier to see his success.
Damn, such a moving interview. I am getting so many of these magical moments from this show its unreal! Love you Drew and John!!! The two most humble and authentic souls out there! ❤️
Him giving genuine deep answers like this while wearing the costume both makes me a bigger fan of this guy and is genuinely hilarious as well

Not only one of my favorite people but granting 650 wishes. Truly a great human being!!! Have a great 2022 John! Looking forward to more movies!!!!
The space this show gives to talk without interruption is so unique👌
I agree with Cena's message before I thought that it was a black and white issue either you step up and be a parent or you don't. But yeah Cena makes a strong point with the word passion it's not simply just being financially ready and making time in a work schedule to raise children. If your heart isn't in it to give 100% to being the right father or mother to a child then it's not the time to raise a child you can't half-ass the responsibility. So I respect what Cena is saying he's not saying never to being a father he's just saying not right now because he want to find that calling on his own terms.
Step up to be a parent is just ridiculous. It implies people without children have failed somehow.

That’s the implication you drew. But he’s also projecting.
I’m the offspring of an absentee mother so I agree with most of what fella above said but that’s only just my experience and it doesn’t really mean anything.
I really am beginning to like John Cena more and more, he seems like such a genuine lovely person and I hope his career grows and grows, he’s fantastic as Peacemaker and a credit to the DC Universe 👍
I was super lucky to meet Cena back in 06’ and I’m here to tell you he’s magnificent to his fans. His handler tried to tear him away from the line to make his flight, and he politely but firmly told his his WWE staff he wasn’t leaving til the line was done
Very humble and gracious
What a great guy! Having children was the best decision I’ve ever made, but you should only have them when/if you want them.
I discovered John Cena in 2008 I was 8 years old at the time I was so pure and clean that all I knew was to go to school and come back and watch Cena's match I will be 24 years old in about 1 month. And I'm an incredible fan of John Cena I've researched everything he's done outside of WWE I've even liked his films Cena broke up with Nikki Bella because Cena didn't want to I respect Nikki Bella She wanted to be a mother like every girl Even John Cena says that Even though he's so famous he's not ready to have children and he defends it I agree with Cena Having a child is the hardest responsibility in this world and you will constantly take a piece of yourself to protect it It's really not an easy thing if you're good at something, I don't want to have a child, I don't know if I can protect it, it's very hard to bring a child into such a bad world.
I’ve watched John Cena since I was a kid from wwe to movies, I can say hand on my heart he is an inspirational human being. His attitude to life and his work is amazing, he’s a superhero to millions of people. Some people like him some people don’t but he still stays true to himself which is a virtuous character trait. He’s one of my role models since I was a kid and to this day. God bless you.
🐻 Thanks Drew and John for sharing with us. My son had Cystic Fibrosis and his wish was granted from Make A Wish. When I found out awhile ago that John was a superhero wish granter , I was moved to tears ! So precious ! I now donate to Make A Wish. Blessings and luv from California. 🕊
This is a very good interview. Big questions, big answers. No interrupting.
man, its hard not to like this dude. especially when you see the footage of him as "the prototype", his wrestling persona before he became famous in the WWE.He really has worked hard to earn what he has.
While I'm not a wwe star or actor, I still understand Cena completely.
I'm probably never going to have children because I don't think I could put 100% in. While my family says I'm good with kids, I know it's not for me to have my own.
Cena is brilliant as usual
this is the only interview that i've watched where cena is serious. almost every interviews out there, he would be in character.
This is the kind of heart more people should have.
What a phenomenal encounter and superb outlook from John Cena. Huge admiration for the selflessness and self awareness.
Damn John. You're just a stand up guy. You deserve everything good you get. And you're one of the hardest working people i don't know
Smart man. I'll be 43 soon and have never wanted to marry nor have children. I've known since I was a kid myself that I don't have the desire for either. Everyone kept saying "Ohh it will change when you get older!" "It will change when you meet the right one!" or "Oh why not? You're so good with kids!" and all that cliche garbage you hear. Let me tell you. It hasn't changed. If anything the older I get, the more I enjoy my single life. I love my freedom and having my own life and to try to force myself to marry and have children because that's what "most people do" would be unfair to myself, and everyone else involved.
Thank you. I'm So sick of people questioning him for something so personal. Not everybody wants them!!!
Wow that was so incredibly deep. I truly admire his honesty and vulnerability. He is such a wonderful human being. I love him even more!
Such wisdom from a person who is perceived so differently by many who don't truly know him.
Such a shame that we live in a society where someone needs to explain why they don't want kids
...and everyone that's watching and listening to you look like yellow-billed ducklings.
you think society isn't like this before? what sort of deluded world you lived in? people always pressured to have children since the dawn of time
@@vijaz5559 he never said so
I really appreciate that John is in the public eye but doesn’t want to have kids. I think it’s becoming a more common decision and I hope others recognize that asking this question over and over is quite annoying.
When John spoke about self reflection, it hit deep. Considering everything going on in my life right now, that really resonated with me.
Honestly wish I could talk with him.
Feel like I could learn a lot from his wisdom.
(4:10 - 5:21)
He is a real Peacemaker. With and without the costume.
John Cena is so humble. Definitely going to replay this video when I’m feeling down.
John Cena is a perfect example of just because someone is good around kids, doesn't mean they want to be a parent
John Cena is literally one of the nicest humans ever. 👊🙌
Honestly. John is one of the nicest people in the world 🌎 ❤
I’m not a wrestling watcher… I love John Cena! I think he’s a good man !
I'm 34 and I have no interest at all in having kids. It's too much responsibility. And I'm putting 100% in my job, I'm living on my own, paying my bills, taking care...
My energy is there. I think I have no energy left in raising a child.
I’m 26 & don’t care for kids either honestly.. I have a niece & 3 nephews & that’s good enough for me. Don’t let nobody pressure you. Move at your own pace
Watching this video really made me really have a new respect for John Cena. Huge heart.
A tough question and answered very well! Thoughtful, kind, considerate, and honest answer.
It really seems like John Cena is genuinely flattered and honored that Make A Wish kids would choose him.
I have always adored John Cena and my late Gran did too. I had my first and only child at 32 and up until I was in my late 20's I didn't really want to have kids. Then as I got older I felt like I was missing something. My son is special needs from being born 10 weeks early. He's the love of my life and is almost 14. Having children is a personal choice and people shouldn't be made to feel like less of a person because they choose not to have children.
Love the fact that he's wearing the costume to every interview.
John so deserves this moment of pure edmiration. Hard work pays off, and being human and down to earth makes him unique
We love you John. Phenomenal talent & a great heart!
Drew Barrymore one of my favorites, I loved every movie she was part in, also a fan of Cena, so this is amazing.
this guy is genuinely a humble dude, that he acts unlike it shows that he actually can act
I love him so much. Ever since I was 12 in 2007 watching WWE haha. He was always my favorite 😍 ❤️
This dude was/is/will be my hero. I knew him from wrestling and now become an actor and performer. He is so inspirational to me Love you💔
Such an Inspirer to all, always gonna be one of my heroes John Cena 🙏🏿💯
I’ve met cena
And he’s from my area
I respect what he does
And this makes me feel a little better because I’m very good with kids
My exs daughter loved me
My cousins gravitate to me and my nephew
But I got health issues and just don’t see me being able to take care of a child
But I kno I’d be an amazing dad
I think I’ll just enjoy being the best uncle/ older cousin
Gotta love how he has just adopted the Peacemaker costume has his go to outfit. I get it. If I got the opportunity to have such freedom to develop my own comic character id wear the costume everywhere too.
john cena is the reason that i even started watching wrestling, and even now i become more of a fan of him as a person everyday.
Pg era or ruthless aggression era cena? If it's pg cena then that's a shame.
@@jdennis867 regardless of which cena is that, it is a fact that cena is responsible for gaining new fans for wrestling (and also losing fans for wwe)
@@eraniogem22 he gained way more new fans as compared to the fans he lose cena is the reason why wwe is famous here in the eastern countries literally everyone knows him here.
He is such an amazing guy. I like him more every time I see him on a talk show. He's a great actor, too.
How can you see him
This dude works so hard and goes so all in on his projects it honestly baffling.
I respect this man. He is inspirational.
Super refreshing take tbh, the world is overpopulated as it is
Met John in London in a hotel lobby! He is the nicest person! He was so humble and kind! Thanks John
John Cena truly is a real life super hero! For both children and adults
yall leave him alone. hes been saying he doesnt want kids. stop asking him.
Damn John Cena is quite insightful and well spoken, that was nice to watch and learn from.
John Cena Is a Big Man With a big heart with a very deep rooted sense of humility....... Period
I'm 38, very soon 39, and have no intention of ever having children. I love them, and I also think I'd be good at it, but I have the same outlook as Cena. Right now, I just can't devote enough time to them, and when I can, I'll be too old to have children. No newborn should have a father that's 60+ in my book.
So inspiring, what a awesome human being ❤ I'm 34 and decided last year that while I know I would make a great mum, it's not what I want to do with my life. I really appreciate the honesty here, it's something that I hope to see spoken about more openly ❤
Good for you
How does this only have 30k viewers?! Do people not know who Drew Barrymore is? Her part in Scream alone (producing and acting) makes her an absolute legend :)
He doesn’t need kids. He’s literally every kids favorite wrestler these days.
You either love John Cena or you're wrong. I appreciate that he always gives thoughtful answers. Also, petition to stop asking all adults when they will have kids. ITA that you shouldn't have kids cuz you'd be good at it, isn't a good enough reason. You should have kids because you want kids, 100% in.
I respect this a lot! He's always been honest!
John.. that was beautiful
Accountability * God bless this man! He learns from his mistakes
I never thought John Cena of all people (not a fan of him or wwe) would actually say something so inspirational that would truly hit home. God bless this man.
why not a fan of him did he do something to u or what?
Just LOVE his answers!!!!
In my mid 20's when I became a first time father. I was scared of "Will I be enough" as the moment my daughter came out the wound is when I knew I got this. I love my daughter to the moon and back. Parenting is not easy;no. Having a connection and a bond is the absolute best thing in this vast universe can offer. I'm a damn proud father.
5:03 - 5:21 that’s confidence all that
0:22 the pain in his eyes, 650 sick kids. Man that must be hard
Man, what an actual angel. 650 kids he’s met who (a lot of) probably didn’t make it, and you can see it on his face that he knows that and carries it with him. There’s a reason you don’t see that accomplishment (so many visits with those kids) with more celebrities. It must not be easy at all, but he does it to brighten their days/weeks/years/lifetimes. What a gift man. Couldn’t be happier to see his success.
Damn, such a moving interview. I am getting so many of these magical moments from this show its unreal! Love you Drew and John!!! The two most humble and authentic souls out there! ❤️
He's pretty much been a father to so many kids that even if he doesn't have his own, his mark will be felt for a while.
