John Cena broke the internet early this week as he was spotted in a short skirt and heels for a new movie project. The WWE star took a long break from rocking suits, custom jerseys, and baggy shorts to experience a bit of feminine fashion, and it got us talking.
Keep reading for the details.
The 45-year-old Hall of Famer is currently in Melbourne, Australia shooting an upcoming comedy Ricky Stanicky, and boy! is he looking the part or what?
It's no secret that the pro athlete has maintained a super-toned physique since his WWE days, and he put it all on full display while filming this project. The star showed off his calves and legs in black tights.
He paired it with a plaid flair skirt and a matching black top. More pictures showed the actor with an entirely made-up face as he stepped out of his trailer.
The upcoming comedy hit centers around three friends who created a fictional character named Ricky Stanicky which they use as an alibi to escape sticky situations. We're feeling Cena's lace-up boots for this look! Super hot!
Over the next two decades, the friends used the lie to come out of tight situations until one day, they had to hire an actor to play Stanicky.
The project featured other superstars like Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, and William H. Macy, who will be starring alongside Cena, and is directed by Peter Farrelly.
The WWE superstar expressed his excitement for the project in a tweet on February 1 and called Ricky Stanicky, a best friend to call.
More information on the tweet Cena quoted showed that Amazon Prime Studios had acquired production and the eventual streaming. However, a release date is yet to be set for this flick.
The star has been pretty open about transitioning from the demanding world of wrestling to appearing on big screens in major blockbuster movies like the soon-to-be-released Fast and Furious X. He revealed the process in his interview with British GQ last year.
"The term Hollywood has such a mystique and luster around it. If you're skilled at doing one thing, and then you transition into doing another — really, it sounds the same, but it's a completely different thing."
He charged readers and fans never to shy away from any opportunity.
“If you have any chance of success, you have to really, really prepare as much as you can.”
The Massachusetts native revealed his drive comes from working hard and catching up to everybody else.
“If you feel you don’t have a head start, you’ve just got to put rubber to the road and work your ass off. So that’s kind of where I’m at, dipping my toes back into the screen side of entertainment rather than live events.”
