John Cena Smashes Terrible Holiday Gifts

John talks about being a bandwagon Patriots fan, going from wrestling mode to movie mode, working on Suicide Squad, future plans with the WWE, his new film Dolittle, a terrible gift he received from his dad at Christmas, and he provides a service to some of our audience members who also received terrible holiday gifts this year.

Why is John Cena surprisingly hilarious? This guy is a comedic masterpiece

[@kwombok]

I don't think you can do professional wrestling that long and that well without being a consummate showman - he is really excellent!

[@makaveli7145]

Kevvo Wobbo yep, another example is Dwayne Johnson. I guess the wit and humour just develops when you’re constantly trash talking and performing for wwe lol

[@mbrunnme]

Yeah, he's a really fantastic entertainer.

[@TobiasRieper047]

I love him, he's incredibly funny. I guess he just has that face for it, can pull a super serious look in one second and the other turns him in to this bright, smiley figure that cracks out jokes.

[@aquamarine9218]

Agreed, he is hilarious. I am a new fan

[@lyndahammond8883]

I didn't realize that John Cena is naturally very funny. He's the whole package!

[@lijiang5600]

Also speaks a little mandarin as well, his videos on Weibo are priceless

[@ieyke]

Surprisingly good actor in general too. He's part of why Bumblebee is the only truly good Transformers movie. He plays a relentless military badass, and it's not even an overwhelmingly big part of the movie (mostly it's just Hailee and Bumblebee), but even in that small part you can tell he's smart and sarcastic, and that he genuinely cares and is trying to do the right thing. He makes what could be a very flat generic military commander villain caricature into an actual character that you can identify with. It's honestly pretty impressive.
