John Cena is one of the most revered figures in professional wrestling. But what happens when a celebrity of his stature sits down to have an unfiltered, no-holds-barred interview? A whole lot of chaos and candidness!
Cena has never shied away from the spotlight, but him opening up about one instance in his life is quite endearing. So, what exactly did Cena reveal, and what does it reflect about the man behind the larger-than-life persona?
John Cena’s unfiltered interview with Howard Stern
Being a WWE star, John Cena has done quite a few things for shock value. But even by his standards, an old interview with Howard Stern was as unhinged and unforgettable as it could get. The host is known for his boundary-pushing questions, and he asked Cena if he would ever have s*x with a plus-sized woman. The wrestler responded with grace and said:
Absolutely, believe it or not, there was an instance not too long ago when I hit the 280 mark. She took me home, I didn’t take her home.
Stern questioned Cena if he found the woman to be attractive, to which the latter said, “Absolutely.” He also went on to compliment the woman and revealed that “she had a nice smile.” According to Cena, the experience was “great,” and Stern kept firing questions at him, one after the other.
But Stern seemed a bit intrusive and insensitive, as he used terms like “fat chick” and other derogatory questions like “did you have to pull up the flabs of skin?” In an era with no cancel culture or pressure to be even slightly modest, interviewers like him were having a field day with every celebrity.
John Cena’s humble and kind attitude shines through
Stern kept pressing the matter further, asking “why” John Cena got involved with the woman in the first place. Cena revealed that it was a challenge from his fellow wrestlers, but he didn’t do it simply because he was forced into it; he genuinely enjoyed her company.
There was just a moment. I’m pretty polite and respectful to everybody, so there was that moment, and then she walks away and then the boys start getting on, ‘yeah, you won’t do it.’ And it wasn’t like, ‘okay, I’ll do it,’ tail between my legs going over there. I said, ‘Not only will I do it, I’ll enjoy it.’ And I did. It was a great night.
Lights on, everything good, no lights on. No, “this has to be done I’m getting out of here,” lights on, it was a great experience.
Throughout the interview, Cena’s humility and kindness stood out the most. He shared the details of his experience with enthusiasm while protecting the woman’s privacy. Whenever Stern tried to speak of her in a degrading manner, he didn’t give into it and responded sensibly.
There was a moment when Stern asked if he saw a lot of “fat,” and Cena said, “I saw a whole lot of woman.” The interaction remained polite and respectful at his end, and he never once demeaned the woman or the experience itself. This attitude represents Cena’s fine character, both in and out of the ring, and is the reason that he’s one of the most loved pop culture icons of our time.
