It's no secret that Margot Robbie and John Cena are two of the most successful actors today. But apparently, the two Suicide Squad stars have more history than some of you might know.
In an interview at Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Robbie and Cena were joined by Suicide Squad Director James Gunn, Robbie spoke about how she used to live with a cardboard cutout of John Cena for over 2 years.
“I watched WWE when I was growing up. When I was a kid, I loved the Undertaker, and then obviously when I was a teenager I kind of stopped watching. But then, as a late teen, early 20s, I had a boyfriend who was obsessed with John Cena ‘ so much so that he dressed as John Cena for his 21st birthday, and [he] had a cardboard cutout of John Cena in his bedroom. So I slept in a room for two years with a life-size cardboard cutout of John Cena in the room.”
Robbie also revealed how she thought she would remain professional and not tell Cena about this embarrassing experience when they started working together. But Margot Robbie being Margot Robbie, things didn't exactly go as planned. Their first interaction, according to Robbie, went somewhat like this:
“I remember thinking, ‘I wonder if now that I'm going to work with John Cena, should I tell him this or is that going to be weird” And I thought, ‘I'm just going to keep that to myself. I'm not going to tell him. That'd be a weird way to start our working relationship.' And then five seconds into meeting him, I'm like, ‘I used to sleep in a room with a life-size cutout of you.”
Of course, when Cena found out about this, he was absolutely unfazed like the true champ that he is. To make things even funnier, Anderson brought out a cardboard cutout of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and placed it in front of Cena who jokingly said, “Sup'”.
Please never change John Cena.
