do this with Will Smith and Vin Diesel
Must see: Last night on Real Time, Bill Maher appeared to destroy this guy. I am looking forward to his response.
I love how he wears peacemaker outfit everywhere he goes. Now this is what I call dedication.
Who does?
otherwise you can't see him.
He literally wears it everywhere
Maybe it’s actually really comfy lol and he doesn’t wanna take it off
nah its just called press junket. a 1 day thing
Can we appreciate that John Cena has been wearing the peacemaker uniform for a year now for most of his media appearances
Uh no we can’t. He is a communist sympathizing sellout who deserves to have Winnie the Pooh whisper sweet nothings into his ear.
@@sphincter3132 China is just as capitalist as the US is, you dork. It just has more government intervention than the asinine levels of the US. This is not to excuse their crimes against humanity, but they aren't communist, regardless of what the party calls themselves.
@@sphincter3132 Big words for a dork that hasn't done jack for your country.
@@sphincter3132 All he did was apologize to China for having poor Geography skills thinking Taiwan was a country, you’re hella reaching.
@@Loregasmo Taiwan is a country. But hey, +15 social credit for you at least....
John really proved himself with Peacemaker, that he has some serious acting chops.
Wohn Xina
If you thing John cena has "serious acting chops", you need to rethink your life
@@bigrotary7023 find your father
@@bigrotary7023 Have you watched Peacemaker lmao especially in the more emotional scenes he does a great job!
@@bigrotary7023 Pro Wrestlers are some of the greatest actors on the planet but okaybuddy
It's not really a surprise, but it's still so nice to hear him talk about his roles. He's so well-spoken, and a lot more introspective than people would probably imagine him to be.
Hear who? I don’t see anyone?
I’d be cool if we could see him and not just a grey background
Yeah! I always think he's charming and funny on talk shows, but I like seeing this thoughtful side of him as well. He's very considerate with his words.
@@coopercalled HOW DO YALL NOT SEE HIM, HES RIGHT THERE?!
@@The_Real_DrMagic ur replying to the wrong person :)
He is one and only peacemaker. Just like Reynolds was made for deadpool.
Facts
Pretty much 💯
spiderman, wolverine, ironman
I guarantee you've never read peacemaker before
@@kelvinb16 he’s a typical poser lol
Vince McMahon: "Cena will never turn Heel."
James Gunn: "Oh yes he will."
🤣🤣🤣
Technically he was heel when he started his rap persona
@@TheDarkarrow7
Yup, John Cena as the Doctor of Thuganomics 👌
He's not a heel, he's a face that took a vow and seeks peace...
No matter how many men, women, and children he has to kill to get it.
I have to admit, James Gunn, The Suicide Squad, and Peacemaker have really got me rooting for DC. I respect and appreciate the adult style comic book stories. Making rated R opens up realistic art.
I'm just happy they're allowing Gunn to have complete creative control on his projects, we need more of that in the industry
Am glad you’re glad that a pedo is filming dc stuff
@@tomhans9207 Yup, am glad too
@@tomhans9207 Im extremly happy :D
Facts
As a wrestling fan/journalist, I appreciate that John Cena kept giving wrestling its credit for helping him grow as an actor. In society, wrestling is looked down upon when a lot of time, it drives a lot of the culture and talent that we see on a large level even now. Seeing John in this acting space is beautiful…
Very kind of you. 🙂
I'm surprised no trolls or bots commented here.
Yeah, it's like theatre but with big muscley men coreographic an intense dance
_The Marine_ is probably *the best action B movie* I've ever watched.
The pacing, the set pieces, the explosions... it's a thrill ride.
Basically the pitch was Terminator but it’s Jooooohn Ceeeeenaaaaaa
Literally watched it once and all I remember is John Cena in cargo shorts
I saw it when it came out as a kid just because Cena was my hero, and I still come back to it. Pure dumb unadulterated fun.
Still my favorite movie that he was in .
I loved 'The Marine'.
He is a remarkably well spoken and thoughtful person. I feel like John has a way of stripping away artifice.
He loves China, and you must too!
I’d hope he’d be well spoken considering he’s been in the spotlight since 2002.
Definitely
I love how well spoken he is about how Taiwan and Tibet are inferior to China!
@@henrik1743 ten ciabuxx have been deposited to your account!
He's so soft-spoken and full of confidence. It's like every word coming out of his mouth is calculated yet doesn't feel like he's making it up as he goes along.
He is a total package
Everyone is here after the announcement of peacemaker is getting renewed for season 2, which really means to can’t wait to see more interviews of John wearing the iconic costume again.
Crazy how u said your gonna see him wearing the costume
@@Kashmoneygodzilla dead joke
John's acting career is just getting started.. he's got plenty of iconic characters too come trust me
I hope he plays Susan Storm in MCU.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
John cena should play dababy in dababy documentary
I trust you, random dumbass fanboy.
*to come
Just getting started? His entire WWE career has been acting, and he’s been doing movies for many years now. It’s not at all getting started, he’s just getting more spotlight for his non WWE roles.
The thing about Cena?!
He's PROBABLY the BEST human being, of any celebrity I can think of. That dude has visited more children's hospitals than anyone thats had a camera on him. That dude SINGLE HANDEDLY made the WWE start recognizing "Breast Cancer Awareness Month", and had them change their ring ropes to pink for the occasion.
He's getting to be a better actor by the minute. But even without that... Cena is a GOOD PERSON! And that deserves respect! 💯
for someone with such a crazy life, cena seems like a genuine dude who’s killing it atm good for him
He seems so calm, cool, and collected.
@@jordanbridges and confident
@@everythingisawesome2903 you have to be confident
This man is so well spoken. He will continue to be bigger than movies and wrestling in the future.
Random topic, but since Dwayne Johnson is Black Adam and since John Cena is Peacemaker, it’d be great to see them both share the same screen somehow. Lol Two WWE stars as DC characters on the same screen would make it full circle again.
Fast & Furious first.
@@shadowguy20004 I'd much rather see their first on screen appearance together as their DC characters tbh. The recent Fast movies are...alright for me. But it'd be cool to see them share the same screen in any movie regardless.
Absolutely loved the bit where he talked about the audition process and how scary it can be. For someone like him with so much cache to his name to feel that way for a movie is so crazy for me. Also, he's terrific in "Peacemaker", totally owns the role
You’re forgetting his best role as Mitch in the classic comedy Blockers.
I have nothing but full respect for this man. He seems like he understands life. All the ups and downs, his failures and how to move forward in a positive way. I’m glad he’s been a role model to me
John Cena is the 🐐!!!! I absolutely enjoyed him as Jack Burns in Bumblebee, Jakob Toretto in Fast 9, and I definitely enjoy him as Peacemaker!!!!! 🙌
He's so loyal to his WWE roots. It's apparent, how it was just the right place to start for him.
Cena is absolutely killing it as an actor and I believe that this Peacemaker series will lead to much bigger opportunities for him, and I'm genuinely excited to see where he goes as an actor form here. Mush respect for James Gunn as well for seeing the potential there.
Making jokes every 5 seconds isn't good acting
@@bigrotary7023 aew fanboy go cry somewhere else
@@bigrotary7023 There are many emotional/reflective moments in peacemaker.
@@bigrotary7023 he entertaining nd really sometimes thats allat matters 🤷🏾♂️
That's too early to say that he act if he was we would know by now.
The Peacemaker series was actually excellent! The best thing John Cena has done in his career so far!
Did you not see him in WWE ?
@@johngallagher72 he meant acting career
@@adityasabnani4941 he's an actor? I haven't seen him in anything yet. I didn't even see him in this interview.
@@johngallagher72 😂🤣😂🤣 Never gets old for me.
@@car7412 lol 👍..great minds think alike my first answer above was to see how many fishies i could hook in ..lol . Looks like a few were biting . Lol ...glad u got a giggle 😃👍😆
Is this a podcast? I can only hear him.
*hear - sorry
@@SandoJoe my fault I was rushing😅
@@typowell7326 u can edit my guy
@@toastyy4186 I’m not the brightest individual lol, I lowkey forgot
It's great that GQ's interviewing the great wrestling legend, but we cannot see him. It's impossible to just watch a chair talking for 10 minutes.
What a funny new joke! 😐
Peacemaker was an excellent show and Cena absolutely killed it! Can’t wait for season two
Hope there's going to be another season.
Peacemaker plays a convincing John Cena
It would’ve been cool if they actually got John cena here
he's right there thou, can't you see him
lolol?
@@luu8870 See who? Where?
@@luu8870 dude r u ok. There’s fr nothing there
@@luu8870 off the meds again aren’t you Johny boy.
It would've been cool if this tired joke died
I find it surprising that 12 rounds wasn't even mentioned. Such a great movie tbh. The pacing, the intensity, the action scenes....they were so good
EDIT: Thanks for the correction Vedant
Wasn't it 12 rounds?
I can never look at the Hustle Loyalty and Respect John Cena the same after peacemaker 😭😭😭
I haven’t seen him take that off since he got the role
I'm really happy for him with Peacemaker. He's found his lane, and within that lane, John is a more than capable actor who can play a compelling, interesting character with depth and conflict and it's really cool to see that for him.
I wish he could of actually been there, but really enjoyed what he had to say
Joke is old
@@Kamarkarze so is your UA-cam channel
I am honestly stunned by how humble and well-spoken he is
I'm 25 and almost cried seeing you have your own show with peacemaker.
Having grown up with wrestling. I will remember being younger and dancing when your theme song would come on.
Keep doing you. And maybe one day I'll see you cause I'm sick of only hearing your voice 🥲
When the series was first announced, I honestly rolled my eyes. Especially since The Suicide squad hadn’t release yet. I always saw “John Cena” and never as the character he was acting as. With the series being over, all I can say is WOW John. His performance has honestly amazed me. I’m very interested in where his career goes after this and what he does with peacemaker.
So basically you decided something was going to be bad before seeing it?
Guess you never adapted the "dont judge a book by its cover".
@@BrndnNZT48 yeah pretty much but It’s been proven that I had nothing to worry about and that I was wrong to think that. The series is one of my favorites dc things now.
Peacemaker is born to play the role of John Cena. 16 time champion & legend
His "Playing With Fire" was incredibly funny. And so do "Blockers". Maybe next time he will talk about those two movies as well. Those two are my most favourite movies of John Cena.
You should also watch 'Vacation friends' another comedy movie, he was so funny in it.
I love with how much honesty he speaks... Like the part were he talked about being in a superhero movie just so it interests the audience to check out his other works...
I love John Cena.. ❤️
As a kid I loved John Cena, my late mother got me the USA champ belt and everything. Much love to the character on wwe and him as a person 👌👌
My man, Cena is actually a genius, no wonder how he retained "the man" card in the business for such a long time!
For 15 freaking years. Respect.
i like the fact that he doesn’t realize he is also a comedic actor, and most of the time he’s the funniest person
John Cena seems like one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
He's also granted over 600 wishes for the Make-A-Wish foundation. Great guy.
What about John's memorable cameo in Sisters? Brief, but hilarious!
I love that John is taking the Fred “Rerun” Berry approach to his role as Peacemaker and wear the costume everywhere.
I love how much he enjoys being peacemaker, he takes any chance to put that costume on 😂 love him man
He seems like such a talented professional. He's going to turn up with an annotated script in hand and his lines learnt.
I've never seen a wrestling match but this guy is just pure, unadulterated awesome. Seems super genuine and just fun to be around.
The way John appreciates and views the evolution of the Fast & Furious franchise is perfect, that's how it should be. It evolved as it should have. I love it.
John is starting to become one of my favourite actors. So easy to watch and he adds great comedy to his acting. Peacemaker is a great show, highly recommend it 😅
John is a legend and I love his movies. I am glad to see him now well appreciated for his talents. So happy to see him succeed as an actor.
smh too little too Late I will tell u that much
Man he’s honestly such a great actor. And I love how he is really carrying this peacemaker character😂😂 it’s hilarious but man it’s so gold
It's so good to see how grateful and humble he is. Humble people deserve their success.
I'm an absolute fan of John Cena now, he is just so amazing and transcendent in his role as Peacemaker. I reckon I could watch the whole series several times in a row and still find it funny and heartfelt. :)
He really is a gem of a person: thoughtful, funny, and humble.
I love John Cena. He was my childhood in WWE and now he’s evolved with the media to be present in my adolescence with television now that i dont watch wrestling anymore.
I think John has tons of potential. I really love his delivery of sarcastic comedy and hope he leans into that in some future characters.
This is exactly why John cena was my child hood hero, like he said I felt so relatable to him being a kid who didn’t have the most friends, felt weak or weird to be loner, felt like the world was against me but John cena knew how to embrace it and fought for self pride/respect and even when he lost, and kept on losing he never gave up.
Man, The Marine is so underrated. He did a good job.
this interview would've been better if they actually got john cena and didn't just draped peacemaker's costume on a chair
Yea it’s a bummer
Joke is old
@@Kamarkarze What joke?
I just see floating cloathes and hear a dissembodied voice
Man, he's so smart, I've always respected John Cena
John Cena is the man, big fan since his WWE days and great to see him doing well in Hollywood, he was amazing as Peacemaker in Suicide Squad 🙌👏
Such a grateful dude.
JC deserves all of his success .
Cena wearing his Peacemaker costume just like his own ring gear in WWE
I love the reflection on his time in WWE. It's clear to me that he wanted to explore that character a whole lot more and maybe had some frustrations with the creative crew that always wanted him to be this perfect, conquering hero. Even Superman has nuance, ya'll.
John cena is a great person 👏 ❤
Man, Suicide Squad made me notice John and Peacemaker made me love his on screen presence. I’m really looking forward to seeing what moves he makes with this massive exposure 👍
this is a certified hood classic
I wasn't a huge Fan of John Cena's until he started making Movies. But now he's one of my favorite actors in Hollywood. I loved him in F9 & Vacation Friends, that movie made me laugh the most I have at a movie comedy in more than 10 years all because of John's character and wife's. Plus The Peacemaker HBO series is my favorite show. Hilarious Show and cast. Season 2 was just okayed 🖤😁
Excellent wrestler and excellent actor. Peacemaker has been such a wild, exciting ride. Good for John!
I hope Peacemaker's success inspires WWE to finally let him be a Heel-ish character he wants and is the most entertaining at.
John Cena is the man. And PeaceMaker is a insanely funny and great show. Cena has great comedic timing.
this man deserves all the respect in the world. thank you John Cena.
No just all the respect in China
keep the Cena jokes coming guys. sad that you can't see him. Wonder where he is these days
That joke is old
@Unknown Unknown 💀💀💀
John Cena really understands characterization. I’ve always said wrestlers are good actors literally what they do is theater.
You’ve watched that South Park episode, W.T.F , haven’t you? :P
man, John Cena is truly one of the most authentic, honest, humble and down to earth people on this planet. For someone that powerful, that is amazing
He really loves his Peacemaker suit 🤣 He uses it everywhere
I really need to rewatch those movies now with this new perspective on John. I grew up a big fan watching him on wwe and seeing him grow and bloom as an actor is so incredibly satisfying for me personally (I decided to pursue an acting career as well)
greatest to ever do it, so many childhood memories growing up with John Cena
I grew up so much on John Cena... Dude has so much heart and fight in him. As long as there's still breath in him, he'll keep fighting, and it's good to see him as the one and only peacemaker
Edit: back in 2008, we wanted rock vs cena
Years later we got it ☺️
Man I absolutely have grown to admire and love this man lol. His portrayal of peacemaker brings joy and happiness every episode 🤣!
Im sooo hyped for the last ep of peacemaker Cena has been killing it with peacemaker. If you somehow havent seen it please do its amazing
He needs so many more honest and open interviews like this. I wish he can be in a Hot Ones episode.
I hear him but I just can’t seem to…see him🤔
The Marine story is very interesting, it says a lot about how WWE always have this crazy ideas to make the product more mainstream and apealing but they always rush it or botch it bc they don't really care and always put the minimum effort if possible trusting the fans will consume it regardless, I'm talking about the creative process and the decision making not about the awesome performers or the technical staff that simply is way too good for WWE.
The Marine is definitely what started it all for me with Johns first movie 🔥
John has rapidly become a national treasure. What a man.
I’ve never seen a person more fit for a character than he is for peacemaker. That show is amazing
Robert Downey Jr?
@@bash7933 he’s ok but could be recast easily with a Tom cruise or someone similar. Who else could be peacemaker?
@@mitchellbowman22 Peacemaker could have been recast easily too... John Cena said that there were a lot of people on the list of possibilities to play peacemaker
@@bash7933 okay, name one
John didn't specify
I’ve loved John Cena since I was 10 years old. I’m 27 now and he’s stared in my new favourite show. What a world we live in.
I’m 26 now and grew up in his era so same!!
I'm 28 and I will always love John Cena, he's the reason I started watching WWE, forever a fan.
What a class act so humble... love his dedication becoming a really good actor. His performance in the wall is really underrated.
"You can't have a journey without the first step."
- John Cena
Beside Peacemaker, I also love his performance in Bumblebee
I’ve watched all his movies and his professional wrestling career of WWE of John Cena I seen all of them when I was little kid. So John Cena is really great professional wrestler and a great actor.
Bumblebee is a great underrated movie and John Cena did great in that movie
As a tweener too!
"I'm not exactly somebody who kicks in your front door in Jean shorts and a t shirt" had me💀😂😂
Hey it's John China, I mean Cheena, I mean Chena...oh you know what I mean.
A mix of comedy and action which I really like. Was a fan of his in the WWE and now the big screen.
"Blockers" is amazing 🌟
