Cena had a short-lived rap career in 2005 with his album ''You Can't See Me''. He began his acting career in WWE productions ''Film/TheMarine'' and ''Film/TwelveRounds'' in the 2000s, and mostly appeared AsHimself in television guest spots during that decade. Besides the obvious action film roles given to wrestlers-turned-actors, in the 2010s he began to show a penchant for comedy, showing up in works like ''Film/{{Sisters}}'', ''Film/DaddysHome'', and ''Film/{{Blockers}}''. He's also done some voice acting as the titular role of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ferdinand}}''. He also hosted the reality TV shows ''Series/AmericanGrit'' and ''Series/{{Wipeout|2008}}'' (the 2021 revival).

Added DiffLines:

* LeslieNielsenSyndrome: Outside of wrestling, Cena initially made an attempt at becoming an action star to mixed success. Then he played a LargeHam lunkhead in ''Film/{{Trainwreck}}'' and people discovered just how funny he was, resulting in his subsequently being cast in comedies instead.[[note]]Compare his guest appearance in ''Series/{{Psych}}'', during his action movie phase, where he played Ewan O'Hara as a typical hero role and his cameo in ''Psych: the Movie'' where he was much more animated and plays along with Sean and Gus' antics[[/note]].
* PlayingAgainstType: His film roles occasionally go against his wholesome public image (from wrestling):
** In ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', he voices Baron Draxum, the main antagonist. He was also the original voice for another villain, [[WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex Hunter Cain]] before being replaced by Creator/JohnDiMaggio in his second appearance.
** Playing Vin Diesel's evil younger brother Jacob Toretto in ''Film/{{F9}}''.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Around the time of his wrestling debut Cena was auditioning for the voice role of, get this, [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Ron Stoppable.]] Just think, if Creator/WillFriedle hadn't earned the spot modern wrestling might look very different.
