John Cena recently did an interview with Good Housekeeping to promote him being on the cover of the magazine.
During the interview, he spoke about pulling back on wrestling and his viewpoint on kids. Here are the highlights:
Less active in wrestling:
“As a 42-year-old, going to be 43 in April … I already know that I’m a little lighter, I’m a little slower, I’m not as strong, so all of the physical signs are like, ‘I’m here, I’m here, I’m here,’” he says. “I can’t lie to myself and say those things aren’t happening. They are. And either I accommodate my performance, or just say, ‘Hey, it’s time to do something different.'”
On parenting:
“I don’t have a negative view towards parenting … If anything, I’ve grown to enjoy being around children more and more. I’ve always enjoyed it, but it used to only be in like a performance aspect,” he says.
“It’s cool because of how much kids want to learn and how excited they are to learn about the questions that they have, no matter how ridiculous … I just don’t know if I could do it. Or, I’m not sure I’m ready to do it full-time right now.”
