By the time he was 15, he was a regular gym rat and after graduating high school, Cena headed off to Springfield College in Massachusetts to study exercise physiology and prove his worth on the football field. In , the new college graduate left Massachusetts despite his father's wishes, seeking a new life in California as a bodybuilder.
It wasn't an easy transition for the 6-foot 1-inch aspiring star. To make ends meet, he folded towels and cleaned toilets at a Gold's Gym in Venice Beach.
Since he couldn't afford an apartment, he shacked up in his Lincoln Continental. Cena's turning point came in early , during a casual conversation he had with a wrestler at Gold Gym's who encouraged him to take classes at Ultimate Pro Wrestling UPW , a former World Wrestling Entertainment developmental company. For Cena, the suggestion of making a go of it as a wrestler was not an entirely outlandish idea.
His father, John Sr. Johnny Fabulous , made a living as a wrestling announcer and businessman. As a kid growing up in suburban Massachusetts, the younger Cena spent many hours glued to the television set as he watched his wrestling heroes such as Hulk Hogan , Ultimate Warrior and Shawn Michaels go at it in the ring. As a wrestler himself, Cena's ascension was rapid. Over the course of the next year, Cena drew the attention of WWE executives, and in , the young entertainer signed a developmental contract with the company to work at Ohio Valley Wrestling OVW.
In the years since, Cena has notched many wins and titles. Create a list ». Favorite Actors. Actors - Action. Born in the 70s. See all related lists ». Do you have a demo reel?

First celebrity to grant wishes through the Make a Wish Foundation. Engaged to Nikki Bella from April 2, to April 15, I haven't backed down from a fight in my life, and I won't start tonight. I admire the military.
I guess in a world of villains and heroes, they're my heroes. Their dedication, their commitment, their discipline, their code of ethics. I have certain things that I stand for, certain things that I believe in, and if you don't like it and you tell me to go to hell, I think that's your God-given right as a fan.
It's one of those deals where I'm that one guy who is outside of that realm of good guy, bad guy. I'm just me, and it elicits a response both positive and negative. I'm the one person who wears the words 'hustle, loyalty, respect' on my T-shirts and merchandise. My audience is children. It's very flattering to see a kid wear your T-shirt; it's even more flattering to have a dad come up to you and say, 'I watch you with my kid.
Keep doing what you're doing. You're a role model for my son. When people show loyalty to you, you take care of those who are with you. It's how it goes with everything.
If you have a small circle of friends, and one of those friends doesn't stay loyal to you, they don't stay your friend for very long. I don't have any elaborate uniforms; I come to the ring in a T-shirt, a pair of sneakers and some shorts.
Always do your best. Never give up I think kids want to believe in that, and they should believe in that. I'm the guy who'll drive miles tonight and be at the gym tomorrow at 10 A. I'm the guy who'll fly to Australia and find a gym. Fly back and first thing I do off the plane is work out before I shower or eat.
I think the greatest hip-hop artist of all time is Jay-Z, without a doubt. He just keeps amazing me with his performance, and since '96, that guy has been producing at least one hit every summer and every winter.
That's a pretty good resume. People can say whatever they want about the sport of bodybuilding, but to get prepared to do a contest or even think about doing a contest, or even to get into decent shape, it requires a certain amount of discipline, and it comes from taking a new year's resolution to a lifestyle.
