Assurances aside, fans can see more of Cena when “Legendary,” which was produced by WWE films, opens in limited release on Sept

NEW YORK (CBS) From Hulk Hogan to The Rock, 슬롯머신 규칙 professional wrestlers have been known on occasion to transition to film once reaching household-name status.

\uce74\uc9c0\ub178\uc0ac\uc774\ud2b8And that’s just what’s happening to John Cena, currently one of the most famous WWE personalities, who now stars in the upcoming drama “Legendary” which also stars Danny Glover and Oscar-nominated actress Patricia Clarkson.

Cena has won the WWE Championship a staggering seven times in a row, garnering him the nickname “The Champ.” He’s gained a loyal fan base with his theatrical presentations in the ring and, now, Cena’s hoping to pounce his rivals at the box office.

But, despite his growing film career in previous starring roles in “The Marine” and “12 Rounds,” Cena said in an interview for CBSNews.com’s Ken Lombardi that he’s not giving up on the world of professional wrestling anytime soon.

“I’m not going anyplace. I’ve filmed three movies now with not sacrificing my WWE schedule at all. I have a system that makes it work,” Cena revealed.

“The first movie I filmed was in Australia. And I still flew back and forth and made all of my WWE commitments. So, if I can be that far from home, and still not miss anything, I know it can be done,” he added.

The Champ has certainly kept up a busy schedule as of late as he rigorously promotes “Legendary.” Cena stars as a Mike, a troubled man estranged from his mother (Clarkson) and little brother Cal (Devon Graye) after the death of his father. Mike re-enters the familial loop when the lanky Cal reaches out for advice after joining the high school wrestling team (a sport familiar to Cena). As he awaits the release of “Legendary,” the wrestling star also revealed how he intends to keep up both careers.

“You’ve got to kind of handle life 24 hours at a time. It just takes time management. I enjoy my career at the WWE so I won’t be leaving anytime soon. I am going to do more movies. I can’t wait to kind of explore the possibilities and capabilities of my acting. But, certainly you’ll be able to see me on all WWE programming,” he said.

Assurances aside, fans can see more of Cena when “Legendary,” which was produced by WWE films, opens in limited release on Sept. 10.
