Biography of John Cena
John Cena (full name - John Felix Anthony Cena) is a famous American wrestler, 16–time world champion. Since 2002, he has performed in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He's also made his mark as an actor, appearing in over 20 Hollywood movies and TV shows.
Childhood and youth
John Cena was born on April 23, 1977 in West Newberry, Massachusetts, USA. Parents: John Cena Sr., an Italian, and Carol Lupien, a native of Canada, the daughter of the baseball player Tony Lupien. John was the second of five children in the family, where all five were boys.
He started workouts to fight all the bullies back. And it soon paid off:I was really scrawny — really skinny and scrawny — like, 100 pounds. I was heavily picked on and bullied because of [my] choices of dress and music that I listened to. I remember the walk to the school bus, at the very least, five times, shoved down, toppled down.
Since childhood, John has been fond of American football, training for several hours every day. Unlike many athletes, he was an A student, and when it came to college entrance exams, he got accepted to 58 of the 60 schools he applied to – everyone wanted this promising athlete on their team. Of these 58, he chose the University of Springfield, although it was not the most prestigious.By the time I was 15, I was 150 pounds. And by the time I was 17, I was 225 pounds. So needless to say, I wasn't being picked on. The guys who were pushing me down were kind of like, «We cool?»


Wrestling and WWE
John Cena stumbled into the wrestling world by chance in 2000, when a fellow wrestler at his gym suggested he try Ultimate Pro Wrestling (then a WWE subsidiary).He took his first steps in a new career quite confidently. Going by the name "Prototype," Cena quickly rose through the wrestling ranks, capturing the UPW championship on April 27, 2001 in San Diego.

Over the years that followed, he won multiple championships across different federations, trailing only legends Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan and Bob Backlund in total title reigns.

Movies and music
Through his WWE career, Cena appeared in countless interviews, screenings and promotional events. But he also landed roles in major motion pictures, starring alongside Robert Patrick in "The Marine" (2006) and playing a young cop in "12 Rounds" (2009).
Personal life of John Cena
In 2009, the wrestler married his girlfriend Elizabeth Huberdeau. She desperately wanted children, and Cena, as he claimed in one of his interviews, didn't want kids until his career was over. Due to this and countless other disagreements, the couple divorced three years later.



John Cena now
Officially, Cena hasn't retired from wrestling, but but he's been focusing heavily on his acting career for several years. In 2021, the ninth part of "Fast and Furious" was released. John Cena joined the team of Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez – he was cast as Jacob, the unstable and aggressive younger brother of Dominic Toretto.
