October 14, 2006 (Press Release) --
John Cena's known for pummeling opponents in the WWE ring (and to some for his side career as a rapper), but like Hulk Hogan and The Rock before him, Cena's been bitten by the acting bug. In his first film, this week's The Marine, Cena uses all those muscles to play a fresh-from-Iraq soldier who must now rescue his kidnapped wife (Kelly Carlson). The role of movie hero is nice and all, but Cena says his first love will always be giving a good smack-down to another dude in a spandex suit.
Sadly, he didn't get to "train" for his sexy scenes with Carlson.
"I just tried to kiss her. I don't think you can teach kissing, that's something that's got to be there. You can't fake that stuff, there's got to be some emotion there."
Movie sex: boring or hot?
"It's a PG-13 movie, we don't get nude. All we did was heavy petting and make out, and that was wonderful. That wasn't boring for me — she was hot!"
Still, there's pressure to perform.
"I was more nervous than a senior at prom night."
He's like Shakespeare in the ring.
"What we do [in the ring] is more like live theater. Acting in an actual movie and being on that giant screen, the most subtle movement can be the most unbelievable thing. I really had to tone down the volume. In world wrestling, we're told to be as 'big' as possible."
So many nicknames, so little sense …
"'Prototype' is an old name. That was my first wrestling persona. I started out as a half-man, half-machine–type character just because of my physical appearance. 'The Franchise' was kind of a name that was dubbed to me when I got popular. I was kind of the face of SmackDown. 'Dr. of Thugonomics' was the best that somebody could do when I started giving people my love for hip-hop music. My style in the ring was very street. I would bring chains to the ring, I would win at any and all costs; I was very racy and crass and that's just what somebody came up with."
