Margot Robbie is the star of the Barbie movie and she recently revealed during an interview with Chris Van Vliet exactly how John Cena ended up landing a role in the film.
“It happened while we were shooting in London. I ran into him at a restaurant and we’d worked together before. Actually, I ran into him because I went to pay the bill and they were like, ‘John Cena already took care of it’ and I was like, ‘What? Where is he?’ I mean he’s a big guy, but I was like, ‘He’s hard to hide.'”
“Anyways, I found him and I was like, ‘What are you doing here?’ He was shooting at [Warner Bros. Studios] Leavesden where we shot the film as well and I was like, ‘That’s where we’re shooting “Barbie”‘ and I was like, ‘Do you wanna come be a merman in “Barbie?”‘ He was like, ‘Uh, yeah’ and I was like, ‘Surely he’s not gonna agree to it just like that,’ and he did. He’s so awesome like that.”
