The New York Post recently interviewed WWE star John Cena to promote the movie “Trainwreck” in which Cena has a role. Below are some interview highlights:
On WWE cleaning up its image after the Attitude Era:
“In the height of the Attitude Era, it could be compared to a touring frat party. We made a conscious effort to clean up.”
On his many Make-a-Wish appearances:
“When I hear that this child wants to hang out with [me] for the day, I think that’s the most flattering thing that I could ever be a part of.”
On acting and his new movie “Trainwreck”:
“I’ve been looking to do comedy forever. What I do every Monday night is action. [I’m] essentially a superhero trying to swoop in and save the day. What you see on-screen is 95 percent improv. It’s kind of the way we do business in the WWE. You have a loosely defined story. As long as you play within the goal posts, the dialogue is whatever [you] make it.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
