      hes too lazy to act in anything else. he just wants to be a movie star. bautista and cena is trying to become an actor. apparently DWAYNE behind the scences thats his contracts and it rubbed people the wrong way.

          Cena’s been surprisingly skilled. From psych to peacemaker he’s been bringing it.

            one of his first roles was in psych, he played the part. but he probably got better since then.

          His hands are hilariously huge. I watched that forest firefighter movie he was in and laughed every time he used a cellphone.

        Less than a year ago, he starred in a Safdie-directed, A24-produced biopic which earned him a couple of acting award noms, including a Golden Globe. Granted, it was the biggest flop of his career (so far), but from what I understand his acting chops were not the movie’s problem.

        I have a love hate relationship with that movie for an interesting reason (IMO). There is not a sympathetic or likeable character in the whole thing.

        The only person who isnt actively dislikeable is Ed Harris and he barely qualifies as a character.
