John Cena Speaks About His Experience Of Meeting The Undertaker For The First Time
The 16-time WWE champion John Cena has had a massive fan following ever since his wrestling days.

Recently, the Fast X actor opened up on his experience of meeting the legendary The Undertaker for the first time during an interview with GQ. He revealed that the great wrestler is a calm and composed personality backstage. John Cena mentioned-
“But Mark backstage is very much like The Undertaker — like, that’s how dedicated he is. He’s very stoic, and very calculated, and does speak softly and carry a big stick, until like now. Two years ago, he started relaxing, letting loose, and having fun. But that role consumed him. And that’s what led to his long term success, his ability to be like.”
He further went on to add-
“This is who I am, this is who I’m gonna be, because it entertains people. And I totally have great respect for that, and I know I’m not gonna have the same opportunities to live in a sense of normalcy, but I’m also going to have great luxuries and opportunities that normalcy doesn’t provide.”
On being asked if he ever wished for more distinction between the characters played by him and the real person he is, the Garfield actor confessed-
“Peacemaker’s been a great vehicle for that. Walking the streets of Bogotá, everybody said “Peacemaker”. Nobody was waving their hand in their face. How cool is that, to be able to live that journey twice? It’s fuckin’ unreal!”
After being a part of great projects, the WWE legend needs no introduction in Hollywood.

He was all praises for his reel-life brother Vin Diesel. He said- “He’s so full of love it’s crazy. We reach out to each other with no agenda.”
During an interview with Movieweb, the 46-year-old actor even addressed the feud between his co-stars Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel. John Cena said-
“I don’t think that story is about taking sides. That story is about hearing everybody’s perspective and it is a story where, me as a fan of the franchise, I’d love the franchise to get together for this last run.”
He further clarified-
“I hope they call me to be in it but when someone says professional, they want to go in another direction, if you say anything other than, ‘okay,’ it’s their professional opinion to make the choice that they want. I think that’s very brave and very honest. So I think Vin’s perspective has a lot of gravity and honesty and I think Dwayne’s perspective has a lot of gravity and honesty.”
