John Cena says he got run out of Hollywood because he made too many bad movies.
Joe Rogan: "how did you go from that into acting?"
John Cena: "Originally, it was a business choice."
"WWE opened a movie studio."
"The idea was, if we make these guys movie stars, more people come to the arena."
"My first movie was The Marine."
"But I wasn't invested."
"My mind was always back in wrestling."
"I was never really there."
"And you could see it in my performances."
"So I kind of got run out of the movie business."
"I did so many shitty movies around 2009 and 2010."
"I told my agent..."
"'We're never doing movies again, right?'"
"He looked me dead in the eyes and said..."
"'Nope.'"
"'We'll find another way.'"
"Then Judd Apatow and Amy Schumer gave me a chance in *Trainwreck*."
"It was a very small role."
"That changed everything."
