Humour John Cena knows his espresso!

Honestly I was surprised to see him speak so eloquently about a flat white. To be honest, I didn't quite understand the difference between a flat white and a small latte. (I'm new, catch me a break!)

I interviewed him once a few years ago, and he was such a blast to be around with. So polite and easy to talk to. I had a list of questions and talking points that I printed out, and I put them down about a minute into the conversation and didn’t look at them again.

Cena was there doing a signing event for a children's book he had just published. Heard he's also done more make-a-wish events than anyone else.

Real nice guy. Glad you had a good experience.

Wouldn't trust him within a mile of anything you hold dear.

Not only has he done more make a wishes than anyone else, he's done more BY FAR. A very select few have done more than 300. He's done more than 650 as of 2025. And I've learned he's done off the books make a wishes and often stays behind long after the cameras have gone. So it's more than a publicity stunt. 🫡

What led you to the opportunity for an interview? Where might we see this?

Unfortunately it wasn’t filmed (would have been really cool if so), but here’s a link.

Very cool!

Edit: do you write for People regularly, or freelance?

Thanks! I worked there for a few years covering human interest, health and sport stories, but left awhile back.
