John Cena Admits His Philosophy on Dating Is Not ‘Gender-Specific’

So.. who's his boyfriend? I mean, if he doesn't care about gender...

Hawt!

R1 Bum toy boyfriend.

I feel a big burrito growing downstairs.

That quote doesn't sound like a dating quote. It reads like he's talking about relationships in general - platonic, romantic, familiar, whatever.

I guess we're still doing "Gay? for Sweeps Week" nonsense even in 2019.

R5 is always the skunk at a party

yeah what in the world do his quotes have to do with dating

He has a new movie coming out and needs the buzz. Somehow these wrestlers, turned actors are somewhat endearing. Like a puppy just trying to keep up with the rest of the pack. Of course, he's a poor man's Dwayne Johnson, who was a poor mans Arnold, but I like him. Like his predecessor, he follows the do-no-harm playbook.

Given his desire to pull Johnson level paychecks, maybe we should add him to the "Hollywood Pass Around Bottom" thread. Do you think he'd present hole for a part?

His new movie looks like ass and I'm embarrassed for him.

[quote]“If I have a connection with someone, I believe we’re defined by our actions,”

Yes, we are defined by our actions.

Ergo, since he only dates women and has never publicly acknowledged a sexual relationship with another guy, we can infer that he's gay baiting as his first starring vehicle hits the theaters.

Not that it would not I wouldn't love to see him dating a dude or even the simple titillation of his being seen regularly with a dude as so many of the DL favs are.

What is his movie about? Does it have an LGBT theme?

A grown ass man babysitting some kids. Wild family fun ensues. It's a PG movie. They probably paid him $800,000 to star in the flick.

r12 If that's so, why would he gay-bait? If anything, doing so would harm him.

Naw, he just needs people to notice him and hopefully keep reading about his new movie. The article also gushes about is girlfriend and how in-love they appear. Typical PR statement, that probably mirrors his liberal views and tells Hollywood that he's willing to give pole a chance, if they will give him another after this movie flops.

[Quote] If that's so, why would he gay-bait? If anything, doing so would harm him.

Like it harmed Nick Jonas?

[quote]Naw, he just needs people to notice him and hopefully keep reading about his new movie

There are many ways to do that which do not apparently cast doubt on his heterosexuality - which is something straight men (especially low IQ straight men with an athletics career) hate when it happens to them. He could have made up something about babysitting as a young man if all he wanted was to increase the buzz around his movie. Why did he have to go to the sexuality thing?

Honestly, some of you sound dumb and naive as hell, though you think you're so cynical and smart.

[Quote] Honestly, some of you sound dumb and naive as hell, though you think you're so cynical and smart.

Why had Harry Styles rode the sexuality speculation wave? Could it be because it works?

Yeah, because Cena's target audience is the same as Harry Styles' and Nick Jonas'.

If the quote in the OP is the extent of Cena's "coming out," there's nothing to walk back, so he has nothing to lose.

John Cena, is actually known for being a marine, which he is not. His macho credit it solidified by the average guy. His bigger problem is that the average guy and girl, don't think about him much at all, hence the comment. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, happy for his bit of fame. I think he just wanted to answer the question honestly.

How cool would it be for the young kids to see this picture of masculinity, promote such a nuanced view of relationships.

SHOW US YOUR HOLE!

Give him a leading man roll and he'll even let you penetrate it.

Does he make his own jelly?

[quote]His bigger problem is that the average guy and girl, don't think about him much at all, hence the comment

I doubt "the avergae (sic) guy or girl" will start thinking more highly about him with that comment. Why would they? Do you even know what the "average guy and girl" are like?

And please, he's just a low IQ entertainer. He doesn't see that much ahead from the things he says. You people are out of your depth.

The point is that there's nothing in what he said to change the minds of the average girl/guy. It was a bunch of nothing to invite speculation. But as mentioned upthread, people have seen the women he brings to red carpets.

Are you confused that bromance is a thing? I'm just trying to gauge what decade you're posting from...

I wish his huge body and hard cock were not gender specific. Because I want a ride.

[quote] Give him a leading man roll

With or without butter?

[Quote] please, he's just a low IQ entertainer. He doesn't see that much ahead from the things he says. You people are out of your depth.

You're quite the twit. Entertainers have publicists who think up talking points, stories, angles to work etc.

More public relations mush. When do u queens ever learn they've all been plowed to get to the level they're at?

Darling, we know.

[quote]Entertainers have publicists who think up talking points, stories, angles to work etc.

It's widely known that publicists, agents, and the like, are the people who most insist on keeping the stars they assess deep in the closet.

R5 nailed it. This is such a clickbait approach to what he was actually saying, but no one wants to hear that.

[Quote] It's widely known that publicists, agents, and the like, are the people who most insist on keeping the stars they assess deep in the closet.

There's degrees to the closet. Colton didn't want to be seen as gay while in Teen Wolf but it was still common for his male co-stars to hug up on him, kiss him etc. Surely teasing doesn't have to be explained to you?

I wonder what he is like in real life when no cameras nor extra people are around.

Probably a very determined nice guy off camera. I once worked with an amateur wrestler. They are a very special breed of entertainer. I even accompanied a some colleagues to a couple of shows. It was great cheap fun, but man do these guys have to fight to make it from some obscure amateur set to the big leagues of WWE. Acting is just taking the same path, but up a larger mountain. My coworker, just believed in himself, had a ton of fun in the business, and just kept pushing. A lot of guys didn't seem rich, maybe middle class at best, so I think using their bodies to make money comes naturally.

[quote]There's degrees to the closet. Colton didn't want to be seen as gay while in Teen Wolf but it was still common for his male co-stars to hug up on him, kiss him etc. Surely teasing doesn't have to be explained to you?

Yes, and I'm sure that was arranged by his publicists. Publicist decide how you take pictures, how your co-workers will pose etc.

Also, saying "I don't have a gender approach to dating" is way beyond teasing. Taking a picture with a male co-worker kissing you on the cheek can be explained away as "nothing" - what Cena said, cannot.

That publicists control everything that comes out of your mouth, every photo you take with a co-worker, etc., is simply not realistic.

Again: you people are dumb as fuck but think yourselves oh! so clever.

But that's not what he said r35.

[Quote]I don’t think that’s gender-specific. I think that’s something we all want to hear.

[Quote] "I don't have a gender approach to dating"

What does that actually mean relative to what he went on to say?

His point seems to boil down to "be a good, demonstrative person." Real controversial.

I meant to refer to r36. Let's pay attention to what he actually said, not the clickbait headline.

That's pretty remarkable considering the homophobic that has pervaded professional wrestling for decades. The emergence of openly gay wrestlers and the progression of acceptance, especially with someone as well known and well regarded as John Cena, who also has acting roles, is a signal moment.

He is inching his way out.

Cena’s PR is working overtime.

Cena’s brother is openly gay.

This is hot. Wait until the end...

Cena is King Butterface. Without those muscles, no one would care about this talentless famewhore.

I had a dream about him the other night. I was standing at the foot of a bed that he was laying in, and we were just having a normal conversation. He suddenly pushes the covers back to reveal that he is completely nude and sporting raging boner, but he just keeps talking.

John Cena has made more than one pro-gay comment on a WWE show, in front of thousands of fans in the arena as well as the millions at home watching.

He is extremely pro-gay.

What this gay-baiting thing is about, though, I have no clue.

He was openly supportive of WWE wrestler Darren Young (who people have called the black Cena for their resemblance) came out as gay.

He’s always been woke

Has he ever sported full hair? His head shape doesn't really suit that tight cut.

^He’s actually worn it sort of long (for him) over the past, I’d say, year or so. I think it’s part of him trying to rebrand himself as an actor.

He looks better with shorter hair. His face is just weird looking

I take it back. Short is the way to go. He has no eyebrows, which makes him look weird with full hair.

Oh, that's what is missing! Thank you r53. I kept looking at his picture and was like something ain't right.

He was an advocate before it became Hollywood cool, so I give the guy props. Btw, I really like this picture. Nothing like your man stealing a kiss like that in public.

His brother is gay. Simmer down queens.

I like him. He’s not the best actor in the world but he seems to have a sense of humor about himself, and also seems a lot smarter than your average jock turned actor. I like him way better than that Republicunt moron, The Rock.

He should keep his hair high and tight, it works for him; his current do isn't doing him any favors. And yes, he's following Dwayne Johnson steps to see if he can emulate his success in acting. He better hurry, he's getting old

[quote]His brother is gay. Simmer down queens.

Already been mentioned. See R43.

agree with others, he isnt gay. ALtho he has admitted to getting boners in his wrestling days with his fellow combatants.

His brother is gay. I think like other posts this is just a tease to broaden his demographic for boxoffice on his new flick.

My brother is gay too. Why do y'all keep mentioning a gay brother?

He’s 42? Whites do age so quickly, don’t they?

Good lord, some people go out of their way to avoid saying they're gay.

Not gender specific, non-binary, fluid, doesn't like labels, MY ASS.

Shut up R13.

R1 I don’t know who John is dating but he’d better stay the fuck away from my man.

Another one trying to head-off blackmail attempts by admitting he's been in a room with another erect male.

If he were 20 years younger, we might have been treated to a Randy Blue or Sean Cody guest stint, like Lars Sullivan.

Kind of makes you wonder who else might come out of the woodwork in the future.

Has John Cena appeared on a red carpet hand-in-hand with his boyfriend yet?

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

Ah yes, this is all just "woke" bullshit words for gullible gays and the women who love them.

It's basically the last 30 seconds of this clip.

I have been attracted to this guy since he made those TV movies with that teenage nerd/queen Fred, playing the object of Fred’s obsession…

The sight of him in a cage on the kitchen floor remains vivid in my memory.

[quote] Has John Cena appeared on a red carpet hand-in-hand with his boyfriend yet? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Ah yes, this is all just "woke" bullshit words for gullible gays and the women who love them.

Oh clam it. As stated, his brother is gay and and Cena has stated he is very close and loves his brother and husband. He is completely comfortable with everybody.

Exactly

He’s 42? He’s hot but looks at least 50

He's pretty adorable and has a good sense of humor. I'd love to see him in a gay story.

For what it's worth, it's not unusual to have two gay brothers in the same family

Wow, per that clip at r70, he likes to be naked

Did you hear what R74 said, Nick? I TOLD you I wasn’t making it up.

Cute couple

This is like saying love is colorblind but still only dating within your race, because that’s how you’re wired. The sentiment is nice and true on some level, but saying so doesn’t mean you’re living it personally. He can say this and still be not into dudes or trans or non-binary people.

Call me when he starts dating a man

Still, I guess gay-baiting > gay-bashing

I think he's one of those rare straight men who is so confident in his own sexuality and his life that he really couldn't care less what anyone else thinks about him.

I wish he would come out and get married to a guy, just so he’d have something better to do than popping up to interfere in every Wrestlemania without fail. I know he’s supposed to be in the process of a slow-rollout retirement, but goddamn.

Maybe now that Vince is distracted by the XFL 2.0, the company will finally future-endeavor John permanently and finally.

People here don't seem to realize Cena has been aiming for the male action hero market populated by stars like Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Seagal. You really think fans of those guys are woke and want to be gay-baited? If he really came out as bi this is huge. If I remember correctly he'd be probably the first action star, albeit firmly B-list still, to come out.

There have been gay rumors about him for years but since these days you can rarely trust in any of them it is hard to know what's really going on.

R82 He’s already tried over and over to get those types of fans and it’s been a failure. People always turn to gay baiting when they can’t get straight people to pay attention because gays fall for it.

He’s full of shit. Get back to me when he actually dates a guy.

Not true. He’s in the upcoming Fast and Furious movie, amongst other action movies. Some of y’all are so oblivious

R83, super masculine action hero types very rarely if ever gay-bait by coming out as bi. Sure Cena appears to want to do mainly comedy but he's still seen as a knockoff Dwayne Johnson. It's not like with female starlets (Gaga, Kesha etc) who come out as bi and everyone loves them. Then again I'd love to believe the society has evolved into a level where male action stars lie about sucking cock to get more fans. Unfortunately I doubt we're there yet which is why I do believe he really did come out.

We'll see the reaction of his management fast if they fear for his career.

Sure knows his market, doesn't he?

Not like you queens are watching a John Cena movie to witness his rich emotional life.

Men who calls guys “queens” are never masculine themselves

He could of just said I like dick too instead all that pretentious waffle that spewed out of his mouth,

Could HAVE said I like dick too.

There is no such thing as "could of."

I'd totally date him

Another gay/bi guy DL had no clue whatsoever about so they say he’s baiting. Why would a straight man need to say that? These are the exact signs that are used on others to see if they’re completely straight.

R91, Cena's been rumored to be into men for years, so nothing surprising about this. People in this thread who demand him to practically suck cock on the red carpet to accept him as bi or gay seem weird. Cena's fan base is probably more on the redneck side so him coming out as bi is big news. Then again we have tons of men here who either hate bisexuals and/or don't believe bisexuality is even real so obviously a guy like John Cena is someone they hate immediately. They demand him to be gay but if he properly comes out they say he's doing it too late and should just die.

I've fantasized about getting pounded out by him for years. I find him irresistibly sexy. He reminds me of a buffer, more intelligent Mark Wahlberg.

Y’all are so tedious

You know what’s funny, r92? Brad Pitt or Leo DiCaprio have never declared they had sex with whichever of the many women they’ve been linked to. But as Pitt recently said, he just has to stand next to a woman for them to say he’s dating.

A male celebrity can give all the hints and signs that he’s been with men, at least on occasion (see Bradley Cooper, Colin Farrell, Jared Leto, James Franco etc) but unless it’s spelled out (which no one ever does) or there’s a sex tape, it didn’t happen.

He looks really old for his age

I would connect the hell out of John Cena.

He has always been outwardly pro-gay, which I'm sure has irked some of his conservative fanbase. He is handsome and has BDF. His nude scene in "Trainwreck" was the only redeeming quality of that movie.

He used to be a creamy dream, but now he looks weird and devoid of sexual appeal. He probably fucks trans trade.

Uh no

He’s gay and came out to Amy Schumer after dating her

Maybe Amy made him gay

With this news, I have to wonder if he took Lucas Cruikshank's precious flower.

That's the show where I first saw him, and fell in love lol

Six years with a Bella twin is enough to put anyone off women for good. [i]On s’en calisse![/i]!

His body is like a work of art in that Trainwreck nude scene. All he’d have to do is lay back and I’d do ALL of the work.

With that ass of his, I would pay HIM to squat naked over my face.

....

Lol at this woman briefly discussing how in awe she is over his gigantic ass

He’d be perfect to play Duke Nukem

I love how candid he gets in this Howard Stern interview about his sex life. Apparently, he does not discriminate be it body type, race, etc., but no mention of men...

He has a very nice body, old and unattractive face. With my experience, I think he has a small dick

R112, you are that type of annoying, negative person people avoid 🙄

42? My sides!

[quote]With my experience, I think he has a small dick

And by that you mean you're own.

your own

He did say in that Howard Stern interview that he never goes through “the back door”. I wonder if it’s different with men.

I would date him but he seems like he'd be a total bottom

That hair style ages him badly. He should go back to the buzz cut.

Nice try. He has a type, female with long dark hair

John Cena is bisexual - he likes both men and boys.

His *approach* to dating--how silly to use "philosophy."

[quote]He did say in that Howard Stern interview that he never goes through “the back door”. I wonder if it’s different with men.

He may not go through the back door, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t let others go through HIS back door.

Uh no

[R123] So he prefers oral to anal. Not all gay men are into anal sex.

Hey, it’s like I always tell Breezy; if you’re born with it you might as well use it, R125.

And by ‘it’, I mean DSL.

He’s married to a woman so I don’t get the statement.

Lies and ridiculous fantasies run 🏃 amok

What lies?

All I know about Yawn Cena is that his cocklet isn’t cut, but thanks to him Mickie James’ career was.

Now how do you know he's uncut?

bafflegab

it's what's for breakfast!

He's cock diesel

Let's say if you are going on a trip below the Equator, it will be a short trip. That was cute.

He sells for gays about as much as he sells for other wrestlers, even upper-mid-carders.

R135, I'm not a wrestling fan, and I don't understand your post. Can you spell it out for us unenlightened?

R136 awww sure baby😂😂

‘Selling’ in wrestling refers to making someone else look strong or worthy by absorbing their actions (verbal or physical) and suggesting that those actions had a profound effect. Cena has a bad reputation for ‘no-selling’ opponents’ moves in wrestling matches I.e., not reacting to attacks making it look as if those attacks are weak and useless while he is invincible.

My comment implies that Cena doesn’t care what we say and do to the point he won’t even acknowledge it, and even his LGB-supportive statements are more about boosting his image than empowering our community.

Time will pass. He will announce a coming out. Few will care.

I didn’t see him at Rocky Johnson’s memorial service. He have heat with Dwayne?

R138 Cena coming out would matter enormously to the wrestling community. In fact, it would probably rock the foundations of the business enough to cause fractures.

The mere suggestion that Ultimate Warrior could have been a self-hating gay man was the talk of the town for years.

Closeted does not equal self-hating

Being closeted is a symptom of self-hating.

R141/R142 wow, hearing you two argue like that really brings back memories..

[quote]Being closeted is a symptom of self-hating.

It’s also a symptom of not being able to come out because of your circumstances. Not everyone has the fortune or courage to just come out whenever they want to, and hating themselves has nothing to do with it.

Can John admit he’s overrated garbage in the ring, next?

Well, he didn’t mention anything to me when he came by last week.

It’s too bad. I can sympathise, and I could have used a brotherly shoulder to cry on over Dean leaving. I hope John didn’t misconstrue my despondent mood..

I see his former fiancee Nicki Bella got knocked up by one of the DWTS Boys.

No, it was not the boy with the yellow skin.

[quote] No, it was not the boy with the yellow skin.

Who’s that?

R148 he means Goldust, Rose.

This belongs in the Celebrity Lie Translator database.

I love how in this week’s SmackDown!, Bray Wyatt’s character went out of his way during a promo to sarcastically mention John’s parade of “beautiful girlfriends”.

If I were John I would have returned that suckerpunch with a comment about Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley leaving Bray in disgust, but then me & Cena are different dudes and I’m just a mean bitch like that.
