I would say so far that he is doing a good job of following in the large footsteps of Dwayne Johnson.
John collects old cars. Have a 9 hour WWE collection on him and he shows off his car collection on it. John is not on the Oracle of Bacon top 1000 but we’re not counting F9 or The Suicide Squad since they’ve yet to be released.
These are the actors on the 2020 list he has appeared wtih.

Hey Dan. As always, thanks for sharing this information. As an actor, I think he is Baby Rock….but as you mentioned he has two big movies coming out….pretty much replacing Dwayne Johnson in F9. So maybe he will become as successful as Johnson in the long run. Interesting information about (a) his car collection and (b) that you have a 9 hour WWE dvd in your collection. Looking at the first list, numerous people have two movies him. I suspect that list will get much bigger in the next year or so. Looking at the second list, 8 Oscar winning co-stars…with 4 of them coming from the dud Dolittle. Good stuff as always.
I have a 9 hour WWE one for the Rock too but haven’t watched yet. I have seen 2 9 hour ones on Steve Austin and Vince McMahon.
I’ve seen 7 of the 15 films on the chart. Favorites are Bumblebee and… [scans chart up and down] .. hmm that’s about it. I enjoyed some of the others.
I haven’t seen his top rated movie – Fighting with my Family.
Looking forward to seeing John Cena as Dominic Toretto’s brother in Fast & Furious 9.
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve…thanks for checking out our John Cena page. I have seen 10 of his movies..10 of his Top 11…..Fighting With My Family is actually very good….I would highly recommend it….added bonus you get The Rock and The Cena in the movie. The Rock has a supporting role while Cena has a cameo role. I thought Bumblebee was pretty good….a huge step up from the previous Transformer movies. F9 will be huge….how long can it maintain it’s blockbuster status? This is a funny video…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbliGNN5dX8
Thank you Mike.
