John Cena has lately worked in one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, the Barbie movie. The Margot Robbie starrer featured the 16-time WWE Champ in a cameo role. However, just like his WWE segments, he packed a great punch despite low screen time. While his on-screen time may have been small, he played a big role behind the scenes and on the set.

Renowned pop music megastar and icon Dua Lipa, who also had a cameo in the $1.4 billion grosser, recently revealed that John Cena was a big help for her. In fact, the ‘Houdini’ singer said she relied a lot on Mr. “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect.”

He’s really my emotional support actor.” She further added, “It was fab, and he’s amazing, and I absolutely love working with John. He’s such a great guy and so lovely.” While Cena is known for being an uplifting person in the locker room, it turns out he does the same on Hollywood sets.
