Like Hogan, Cena has proven that his showmanship in the ring crosses over into venues outside of it.

Ventures Outside Wrestling

Through the production wing of WWE, Cena has starred in two action films, The Marine (2006) and 12 Rounds (2009), the latter featuring the wrestler trying to save his girlfriend from a gang of terrorists in New Orleans.

In addition, Cena, who has long had an affinity for hip-hop culture, became a recording artist when his rap album, You Can't See Me, hit record stores in 2005. The recording debuted on the U.S. Billboard chart at No. 15. His credits also include appearances on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice.

For Cena, who has battled hip and back injuries in recent years, the chance to expand his resume allows him to keep his name in the spotlight once his wrestling career ends. In particular, Cena sees a lot of opportunities in film.

Cena married his girlfriend, Elizabeth Huberdeau, in July 2009. They reside in Tampa, Florida.
