Can't say I blame them though. He has as much range as my shitty wireless router. Though I must admit, Cena has always come off as a stand-up guy off camera.

Except for the whole China BS. Which was him being an idiot when promoting fast/furious.

I must have missed that. Quick Google search claims he pissed off the Chinese for calling Taiwan a "country" in his promotion. Is that so bad though?

He recorded a video in Chinese begging the CCP to forgive him for his transgression just so the F&F movie wouldn't be banned from the country.

Yea, I'm torn with John Cena movies.
The Taiwan/China thing was truly pathetic but I don't get overly worked up about that, it's to be expected with Hollywood and 99% of celebrities.
I just don't find him to be entertaining or charismatic as an actor. My wife watches the Bella Twins reality show and he seemed like a nice guy when he was in the show. The relationship ended because the girl wanted to have kids but John wanted to pursue his Hollywood goals, I'm happy for him that he's in films now but it just doesn't work for me.
Wresters turned actors can work cause they're usually super charismatic, but I just don't get that with Cena. His movies/roles just come off as coattail riding and forced.

So he did some bad PR, and then did some awful damage control. Par the course for Hollywood these days.

It made $135 million opening weekend in China, I would say that was some amazing damage control.

I meant awful as in the way he went about it. Simping to the nation by trying - and failing - to speak their native tongue? No.

Peacemaker is great though because they’re embracing his one noteness and making him seem kind of mentally messed up. I loved the first three episodes anyway

You're not wrong there. On the topic of Marlon Brando, I was checking out the trailer for The Godfather 50th Anniversary.

I think they should've casted him as that one-armed dude in Shang-Chi.
