WWE fans are accustomed to John Cena’s distinctive wrestling gear. At one point, his shirts and baggy shorts topped the merchandise list. Fans were left gripping their stomachs as Cena was photographed by the paparazzi.
The wrestler-turned-actor’s appearance for a movie shoot has gone viral on Twitter. In the popular photo, a make-up-clad John Cena is seen wearing a skirt and heels. His womanly costume has inspired memes, but admirers also admire the actor’s commitment to his titular character.
John is now in Melbourne, Australia, shooting for his film Ricky Stanicky. The Amazon Prime Series follows three buddies who invent a fictional identity named Ricky Stanicky to use as an alibi to get out of jail. Cena, Zac Efron, and Jermaine Fowler play the lead roles.
“We are really delighted to work on this new film with comedic icon Peter Farrelly. With Peter’s skill and sure-to-be hilarious performances from our star cast lead by Zac Efron, John Cena, and Jermaine Fowler, Amazon Prime Video viewers across the world can expect a touch of mischief and a lot of laughter.”
Ricky Stanicky is an adult comedy production that is set to debut next year. John Cena’s skirt photo has piqued the imagination of both movie and wrestling fans.
Along with the Prime Video comedy, the 45-year-old has signed on to the second season of HBO’s Peacemaker.
How did fans react to John Cena’s cross-dressing as Ricky Stanicky?
The Cenation Leader’s latest photo has elicited some humorous reactions on Twitter.
The Cenation Leader returned to WWE last year to kick off The Bloodline’s implosion storyline. On the December 31 episode of SmackDown, he defeated Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns alongside Kevin Owens.
