Chelsea star wants WWE legend John Cena to play him in a movie – but can you guess the unlikely player?

AN unlikely Chelsea star has suggested that WWE legend John Cena should portray him in a movie.

Cena, 46, has made his comeback to the WWE in 2023 after being a 16-time world champion for the wrestling company.

A Chelsea star has chosen John Cena to play him in a movie

The shout came during a recent interview with the Premier League

And now the American’s name has popped up again after being named as the ideal candidate to portray a Blues defender.

The player in question joined Chelsea from Brighton for a £62m fee in 2022.

It is of course left-back Marc Cucurella.

In a hilarious video posted by the Premier League’s social team, numerous players were asked a series of questions.

After being asked, “which actor would you like to portray you in a movie?”, Cucurella claimed it would be John Cena.

Explaining why, the Spanish international said: “I’ve always liked his combats and his career in WWE.”

Given the obvious lack of resemblance, it’s certainly a rogue shout from the former Brighton and Barcelona player.

However, it appears Manchester City star Rodri was even more confused.

When asked the same question the City midfielder said: “I would choose Denzel Washington.”

While, Luton Town’s Tom Lockyer reckons Bradley Cooper is the perfect actor to play him.

And fans have been left in hysterics.

One fan wrote: “Omg! Cucurella said he wants John Cena to play him in a movie.”

Another said: “He is growing on me now.”

A third declared: “I can’t believe he chose him .”

While Cena may be a legend within the WWE, his future with the organisation remains in doubt amid the actors’ strikes in Hollywood.
