John Cena recently spoke to Fox News where he discussed a lot of things including his movie and other stuff. Below are some highlights;
Fox News: Tell us about your new movie.
John Cena:
It’s a very powerful action movie called “The Wall.” The cast is very long, it’s two people – myself and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. It’s directed by Doug Liman, and I believe that it’s a wonderful film that everyone who sees it will be talking about. It is powerfully honest and I believe the end leaves you with the ability to have conversations with the person next to you. I believe there will be a lot of different opinions about this movie because it is so powerful and leaves it open ended a little bit and allows you to come up with your own conclusions and opinions, and I think it’s something that will invoke some decent conversation.
Fox News: Did you meet with anyone in the military for research?
Cena:
Yes, I have had the luxury to be able to meet many of our servicemen and women on many of the expeditions of WWE tribute to the troops. I’ve been to Afghanistan, to Iraq. I’ve seen many of our servicemen and women on local bases on a national scale and I’ve talked to them on about their daily lives. I used a good friend of mine, Nicholas Irving, an army ranger as a resource for this one. And as far as prep I wanted to talk to him about the daily life of a soldier, not necessarily tactics.
Fox News: What makes you proud to be an American?
Cena:
I could waste all the time that you have answering that question. I will simply say I believe this is the greatest country in the world because of the freedoms that it allows us. It is directly because of the men and women who fight to protect those freedoms and that is what Memorial Day is about. Remembering those who fought and made the ultimate sacrifice.
