Sonya Deville wants to be like The Rock and John Cena

The 28 years old superstar recently discussed in an interview with PopCulture.com that after she’s done with wrestling, she would like to explore other ventures like acting just as The Rock and John Cena did.

“And I love doing that with what I do right now, but I would love to further that one day. And I think that a path like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena is admirable to almost anybody in the company. And I’d love to be one of the females to make that transition so hugely as well,” she confessed.

Speaking in the same interview, Deville confessed that she took acting lessons when she was a teenager and she always found acting to be a therapeutic experience.

“I took my first acting class when I was like 13 years old in south Jersey. I’ve always had a passion for theater, and drama, and acting. It sounds weird and corny, but it’s almost therapeutic for me to get into a role and just immerse myself in it and just be somebody else.”
