John Cena stars as Rudd Landy in Netflix's latest comedy film Little Brother, which has topped the streamer's most-watched movie chart. Fans are keen to learn more about the former WWE star, now a full-time actor.
How Old Is John Cena?
Cena was born in West Newbury, Massachusetts, in April 1977. At the time of writing, he is 49 years old. He has four brothers: Dan, Matt, Steve, and Sean. His grandfather was baseball player Tony Lupien, and his cousin is computer scientist Natalie Enright Jerger. After graduating with a degree in exercise physiology and kinesiology, he pursued bodybuilding before entering professional wrestling.
What Is John Cena's Height?
According to his official WWE profile, Cena stands 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall. A viral TikTok video from TalkSport showed a journalist struggling to interview Cena on the red carpet due to the height difference. The journalist attempted a "magic trick" where Cena held the microphone at his own height, causing the mic to appear floating as the shorter journalist moved out of frame.
Why Does John Cena Not Have Children?
Cena and his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh, have openly discussed their decision to remain child-free. They met at a bar in 2019 and aligned on this choice early in their relationship. Cena told LADbible: "I don't think I'm personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it needs to be a great parent because I want to live life for all it is."
On the Club Shay Shay podcast, he elaborated: "I still have a lot to do. And I still want to do a lot. I have a wonderful partner I do it with. We've had open conversations about this. We share the same values. It's a tough subject to talk about because it immediately puts you in a category, and we can't help but judge. [It's] human nature. We're all judgmental. I'd like to believe that I operate under the construct that everyone's okay living their life. I can tell you this is not a knee-jerk reaction. I've thought long and hard about this, even as my youngest age...like 15, 16, I remember thinking about it. My opinions only hit that grey area during emotionally difficult times. And I'm very happy with where I stand. I have a lot of joy and fulfilment in my life. And that's pretty much where I stand on it."
