He has been hailed as the new “Rock”…but does John Cena kick back and use weed?
John Cena is having a moment. People are buzzing his star is rising and he could be another Rock. Which is something considering he Rock built an empire worth $800+ million. Like the Rock, Cena is not afraid of hard work, laughing at himself, or comedy. But does John Cena use weed? Would it go with his squeaky clean imagine?
He started out as a wrestler and signed to the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2001. In 2018, he went part-time with wrestling to focus on expanding his acting and rapping career. A record 16-time world champion as recognized by WWE, Cena is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional pro wrestlers of all time.
WWE hasn’t enforced marijuana testing in ages, which was lead by the players. Although cannabis in the entertainment industry is not uncommon.
Cena has crafted his image and has popped up on the Today show with goodnatured appearances alongside his string of recent movies. His most recent, Ricky Stanicky, leans into comedy heavily. He was a presenter at this year’s Oscars while also taking a nod at a streaker who appeared 50 years ago.
Cena has long denied taking drugs, including steroids. But the rumor of his steroid use continues to trail him like the whiff of a skunk. He does drink alcohol and has built up a pretty strong reputation for being able to toss quite a large amount back and still function. But it seems he has either not used marijuana or kept it very, very on the down low.
We know in honor of the 4/20 ‘holiday’ he was the now gone Ellen show and played a game called ‘Marijuana Strain Or Show Dog’. The audience lapped it up and he seemed to enjoy the wink wink nod of it.
So while it appears he doesn’t consume, it doesn’t seem like he judges those who do and can appreciate a good chill.
