NEW ORLEANS — WWE Superstar John Cena is known for wrestling and he’s also known for acting.
Some of the movies were filmed here in New Orleans. I spoke to Cena while he was here for WrestleMania about his favorite flick he shot while in the Big Easy.
“My favorite film to do in New Orleans involved one day of shooting,” Cena said. “A movie called ‘Daddy’s Home.’ I showed up on a motorcycle and walked past Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.”
