John Cena started his acting career in 2000 with the movie Ready to Rumble where he was just an extra. But he got his first major break in 2006 in the movie The Marine and the rest, as they say, is history. Cena would then be part of huge movies like Daddy’s Home and Suicide Squad. He also appeared in massive franchises like the Fast franchise with F9 and Fast X. Most of the movies he’s been part of have been superhits thus making his bank balance even higher.
