John Cena Talks About His Argylle Co-star Dua Lipa

During an interview with People in January 2024, wrestler turned actor John Cena spoke about his Argylle co-star Dua Lipa. The Bumblebee actor was grateful that he shot Barbie with Lipa before collaborating with her in the meta-spy drama Argylle. While reacting to Dua Lipa’s comment about him, John Cena said-

“My takeaway from that comment, which I’m very grateful for, is we shot this before Barbie, so this was her first chance to be on-screen. She was vulnerable enough to admit she was nervous.

Meanwhile, I’m in front of her, Matthew Vaughn, and Henry Cavill, and I’m going, ‘You’re not alone! I’m nervous as well.’

So we began to share that. We’re both touring live performers, so we had some conversations about that and life on the road, and it just kind of spawned from there.”

During an interview with Rolling Stones in February, Dua Lipa revealed that Cena is like her emotional support actor. She said-

‘I can’t do a single thing without him. I’ve loved working with him. ‘ 

In Barbie Dua Lipa played the role of Mermaid Barbie and John Cena was seen as Merman. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2023.
