John Cena admits Hollywood nearly gave up on him after movie flop

John Cena reflected on his rocky start in Hollywood, revealing that his 2006 debut The Marine nearly derailed his acting dreams for good.

Speaking to People, the 49-year-old wrestler-turned-actor owned up to his early missteps. He said the film led him to lose opportunities and admitted he was “run out of town” from the movie business in 2009 and 2010. Cena blamed his own mindset, noting the shift from WWE’s roaring crowds to silent film sets was tougher than expected.
