Action comedy “Heads of State”
John Cena about presidential role: “I’m completely overwhelmed”
In his new film, John Cena, as a former action star and US president, has to take up a lot. It is obviously the ideal role for the actor and ex-wrestler.
The former wrestling star and actor John Cena (“The Suicide Squad”) did not have to get shape for his new action comedy “Heads of State”, although the 48-year-old has many action scenes in the film. “A film like this hardly needs any preparation,” said the 48-year-old of the German Press Agency in London. After all, he was mainly responsible for the funny moments.
Canvas star becomes the US President, then action hero
Cena plays in “Heads of State” the US President William Derringer, who became known as an actor in action films. Together with the British Prime Minister Sam Clarke, who is played by Idris Elba, he accepts it with terrorists on his own. “I’m completely overwhelmed,” said Cena. “Most of the time I get a lot of one on the hat. And that’s me. I don’t need a lot of preparation for that.”
In contrast to his colleague Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who plays a quick -witted agent in “Heads of State”. “If I had a role like Priyanka in which I have to cope with weapons and close combat, I would have to work in a little,” emphasized Cena. “But the role I have was exactly my thing.”
Walk into politics is out of the question
Although the US President and the British Prime Minister in the Film deliver cynical battles and joke about cultural differences, Cena does not believe that Americans and British are fundamentally so different. “Of course we are all different, and I appreciate that,” he said. “But I don’t think our origins play a major role in this.”
The fact that John Cena – like his film figure – strives for a political career as an action star one day is excluded. “No,” emphasized the 48-year-old. “It is by no means an option for me.”
