The Daily Beast has published a feature looking at John Cena’s role in the new Amy Schumer comedy, Trainwreck.
In a piece titled, “John Cena: The Hardbody With A Heart Of Gold,” Jen Yamato writes that Cena is “not only one of the world’s most charitable athletes, but also one of its funniest.”
Cena’s been getting rave reviews for his role as Steven, one of Amy’s love interests in the film. Some people have been questioning if Cena was cast to portray a fictional version of fellow WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler, who previously dated Amy Schumer. Cena was asked about the comparison and jokingly replied:
“Why do you ask? A sexually-confused CrossFit instructor?” “Seems far from the Dolph Ziggler I see on Monday Night Raw. I don’t see the correlation.”
Trainwreck is on track for a strong opening weekend and should bring in well over $30 million, which would make it the strongest debut for director Judd Apatow.
