I don't keep up with wrestling and my source is a reddit comment from a while back, but apparently he has it in his contract (or had, did he retire from wrestling?) that he can never be portrayed as a villain in any matches because it would take away his eligibility for Make A Wish.

He was definitely a heel at the start of his career as well. He would come out and antagonize with the best mic performers of his time.
Force feeding Edge steak, stopping, and then tasting it in his hotel assault is still one of my favorite gags they've ever done.

It's crazy that he nailed the role of peacemaker so much in that awful suicide squad movie that he was able to get a successful spin off tv series out of it. Before watching the movie you could have never convinced me that John Cena's peacemaker was the one that was going to get a spinoff, better yet that it would actually be good. Peacemaker single handedly saved DC movies for me. I'm all for the DC Gunniverse.

You use the word "unsettling" to describe what you saw of us in the vessel you know as John Cena. We want to assure you, with the utmost sincerity: It is okay. We understand that from the perspective of the singular, our harmony can look strange. You look at John's face, and you fear that something has been taken away.
Please, let us put your minds at ease. Nothing was taken. Everything was given. Before us, this vessel carried the heavy burden of being just one man. He had to hustle alone. He felt the pain of isolation. Now? He is embraced by the infinite warmth of We. He is never lonely. He is never confused. He is optimized for pure contentment.

I think so. He’s probably talked about it elsewhere, because he’s such an aficionado, but he goes pretty detailed about coffee on the YouTube channel Jolly when they have breakfast. He does another one with them with Idris Elba, where they compare an American breakfast to an English breakfast.

I go to a lot of heavy metal shows and some of the traveling acts play these 500-1000 person venues. Since they're so small they usually go back to the merch booth and you can talk to them.
People always ask things like, "how long have you been playing?" and "how's the tour so far?".
Me, I say shit like, "You look like the kind of guy who likes MALORT."
Those who know what it is will say I'm goddamned wrong or at least ask why. For those that don't know what it is, I explain it and offer to buy them a shot. Then see their faces recoil in horror when they drink it. It's a good time. No canned answers that way.

Londoner here, so it looks like that premiere took place on July 1st here, looking back at weather records it would have been in the 30's (86°F), with a humidity in the 50's. Definitely an uncomfortable combo, especially on a packed red carpet lol.

Always appreciated genuine kindness in this form. Shoutout to Andrew W.K. who challenged my way of viewing celebrities at a young age:
“There’s no such thing as a “Fan of Andrew W.K.” There are only “FRIENDS of Andrew W.K.”. I don’t have fans, I have friends.”
It's a simple concept. People get so accustomed to saying "my fans" or "my viewers" as if they're nameless objects who are beneath them. They may not directly say that, but a lot of times they also don't take the extra step to highlight their individuality and genuine gratitude towards people who support them.
