Soon after starting off his career in Hollywood, John Cena started picking favorites. In an interview, not too many years after his Hollywood debut, the wrestler revealed whom he ‘wished’ to act with. Among a long list of talented and eye-capturing actresses in the movie industry, it would’ve been difficult to pick out one name. However, it looks like Cena had already made up his mind.
In a 2009 interview, The Prototype revealed that he would love to work with Angelina Jolie. He did not just bluntly mention her name but also gave an explanation behind his pick. The reason hinted at how he perceived Jolie and her real-life personality.

AJ is among the highest-paid Hollywood actresses. So, it’s obvious that her talent and portfolio speak for themselves. However, that’s not the complete reason why Cena wanted to star in a movie alongside her.
When the 46-year-old was featured in the 2009 interview with ‘Men’s Journal’, he was promoting his upcoming movie ’12 Rounds’. To keep the hype of the movie intact, the interviewer asked him 12 questions. One of them was asking him to pick a ‘favorite lady’ he would like to work with in a lead role. Without second thoughts, he recited Angelina Jolie’s name.

The wrestler said, “Angelina Jolie because she kicks ass. She has a tough side to her and she’s not afraid to show it. Can she can kick my ass? Um… I might have to let her on that one.”
It’s clear that before finding the love of his life, Cena was mesmerized by Angie’s boldness and ‘tough side’. Even though the times moved forward with her eventually finding her love in a fellow Hollywood star, Cena was never able to star in a movie alongside her.
Despite his wish not coming true, John Cena has not compromised his movie contracts. The superstar has been signing for projects that come off as exciting to several of his fans. Let’s talk about his latest appearance as the ‘Barbie’ movie released in theaters a few hours ago.
