John Cena knows what youre thinking.
Im 250 pounds, so I get it.
Its been a work in progress, but I understand why, he admits.

So that unwinding process takes a long time.
But its fun to be able to make people forget that.
So around 2009, its like, Im not ever doing movies again.
And I was okay with that.
But then in 2015, he fully reemerged in a big and naked way in Judd ApatowsTrainwreck.
Later that year, his new foray into comedies successfully continued with supporting roles inSistersandDaddys Home.
I dont just have to do it, I like to do it.
Its still not an entire picture rotating around a world that is John Cena, he points out.
So I think maybe thats helped people digest it a little bit easier.
Blockersdoes serve as an important step for Cena.
Whereas his past roles have leaned heavily on his powerful physique and presence, thats not the case here.
Cena stars as Mitchell, a regular dad who just happens to look like John Cena.
So Im thinking, What can I do to make myself not be that guy everyone sees?
Ill drink a beer through my butt!
That was more uncomfortable for everyone else than it was for me.
And I think everyone else was not cool with it.
Im certainly not afraid to laugh at myself.
This is funny, everyone is laughing, so lets see how far we can go.
I have spent 41 years on this planet and 16 of them in the WWE.
I see some of our audience members more than I see my family.
Coincidentally, filmgoers are beginning to feel the same way.
