In an interview with Vanity Fair, Dua referred to John Cena as her “emotional support actor” and said, “It seems like I can’t seem to do anything without him! He’s really my emotional support actor. It was fab, and he’s amazing, and I absolutely love working with John. He’s such a great guy and so lovely.” The 35-million-rich celebrity praised Cena and said that she loved working with him.
Dua also praised the director, Greta Gregwig, and told how she “defied all the odds,” as nobody knew what to expect from the movie and she still did an amazing job.
How did Cena land a role in Barbie 2023?
John Cena, during his appearance on NBC’s Today, revealed how he got to do the cameo in the $145 million movie. According to Cena, who has also played in ‘Fast X’, both movies were filmed across the street. He said that it was a “happy accident” that led him to play a part in ‘Barbie‘.
He was hanging around the set when he ran into Margot Robbie and decided to pitch himself for the movie. He went on to say he would do pretty much anything they needed, and this led to him getting a part in the movie. Cena has previously worked with Margot in the movie ‘The Suicide Squad’, and therefore both stars know each other well.
