Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy regretting his determination of not taking part in one of many Kens in Barbie? Completely comprehensible given the monumental success of the movie. However to listen to that John Cena, who had a cameo within the Warner Bros. manufacturing, would haven’t been part of the movie had he listened to the recommendation of immediately capturing down the supply? I’ve by no means been a much bigger fan of the WWE wrestler’s devil-may-care angle.
Within the movie, Cena seems as Kenmaid, a merman Ken, alongside Dua Lipa for lower than a minute. However each level about Barbie, it doesn’t matter what screentime it acquired, has attracted main reward, was the most important 2023 field workplace winner, and is already the Finest Image Oscar winner though the Academy Awards remains to be weeks away. However regardless of early speculations promising a profitable future for the Greta Gerwig challenge, its success was by no means written in stone. So, when Cena was provided to play a cameo within the movie by Margot Robbie (when he was filming Quick X subsequent to the Barbie set), an company suggested him in opposition to accepting the identical.
“[The agency is] simply occurring what they know. And what they know is, ‘This entity, this commodity gravitates towards these items, we must always keep on this lane.’ However I’m not a commodity. I’m a human being, and I function underneath the assemble of each alternative is a chance,” Cena shared throughout his look on The Howard Stern Present, including that he immediately stated sure to the position after Robbie defined he could be concerned within the making of Barbie for simply half a day.
“However I believe the angle from an company standpoint was, ‘That is beneath you,’ which I get that. But in addition to the company’s credit score, instantly they acquiesced, and I used to be like, ‘No we’re going to do it,’ however all they will do is supply their steerage.”
Cena appreciates the stated steerage and understands that it was pushed by the motivation to guard his profession, which, for the company, meant guaranteeing that his accepting minor roles don’t “take [him] out of those lead lap slots.” However he features on a distinct perception system — “that good work will get you one other probability.” Seeing that the previous rapper’s appearing star is continually on the rise in Hollywood, the philosophy clearly works for him.
