A muscular body like his can many a time give out an impression of a ‘senseless, large man.’ Interestingly, a similar thought also came across the mind of Kay Cannon, while hiring Cena for her movie. However, with time, she got to know him well and realized that he has a big heart too. 

Further, the wrestling legend also confessed about his rejections, which are quite more than the perfect ones.
