The Untold Truth Of The Cast

As of this writing, Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie is set to be released in July 2023, and it features an incredible cast, which includes Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Helen Mirren, Will Ferrell, and John Cena. The former WWE icon is particularly proud of his role in "Barbie," especially because "Fast X" apparently helped him land a part in the coveted film. During an interview with "Today" that May, Cena opened up about how he got cast in the iconic doll movie, saying, "It was a happy accident, and I think 'Barbie' and 'Fast X' share a lot of parallels. The cast list is amazing." It's undeniable that both flicks feature an impressive roster of Hollywood talent, so it's no surprise there's an overlap between the two films.

According to Cena, "Fast X" and "Barbie" were filming in the same location, which allowed the actor to visit Gerwig's set and mingle with the cast. In particular, he made a beeline for star and pal Margot Robbie, as he felt she'd be able to get him a part in the movie. As for what he said to Robbie when he met her, Cena told "Today," "'I will do pretty much whatever you guys need, 'cause I really enjoy the movie,' and they asked me if I wanted to be a merman." 

Although "Fast X" and "Barbie" seem worlds apart, Cena is making sure that audiences get to see his full range on screen.
