    I've seen quite a few of John Cena's interviews and one thing I notice is that he always interacts with the crowd, feels like he's not just talking to the interviewer but the entire audience too, which is very nice of him.

      Wrestling is driven by the fans, what works or not, and John Cena had that amazing ability, making him the most asked celebrity to do Make a Wish requests, he's an amazing entertainer that gives his all to the fans 🤗

    I saw John Cena driving once, it was on U.S. 41 somewhere near Lutz, Florida. He was driving a car that looked like a god damned spaceship. Some crazy sports car, I forget the name but it's not in any of the pictures of his collections online. A convertible, that's how we knew.
    I drove alongside him on the right, my ex at the time had my phone recording to grab a very shaky still from as a souvenior.
    Eventually, as good drivers do, particularly ones in cars that cost more than a house, he glanced over to see what object had come into his peripheral vision. All he saw was a driverless Toyota Camry, with a woman holding a phone in the passenger seat. John Cena could not see me.
    It's one of my life's crowning achievements.

      He focused on flexibility for movie roles and more cardio so he's leaner like his earlier days from 2002-2005 instead of being a block of muscle mass from 2006-2016. He still looks good, but he's no longer focused on mass. He just keeps his weight down so he can look well defined on movie screens.

    Feels like Cena used to be so much more fun and animated in these interviews, in a genuine way (not a clowny PG way)

    Started to feel like Conan's losing it, what was he staring at throughout the interview? Looks like he's on an acid trip
