Renowned WWE star turned actor John Cena spilled the beans on his delightful working experience with pop sensation Dua Lipa, sparking excitement about a potential collaboration that goes beyond their recent thriller, Argylle.
Responding to Colbert's inquiry about a movie he would like to work on with Lipa, Cena enthusiastically shared, "Man, I would love to do like a buddy cop movie [with her]." The retired wrestler-turned-actor's desire for a unique on-screen pairing with the music icon took center stage during the entertaining interview.
The Late Show host took Cena's wish to the next level by presenting him with a mock movie poster for their imagined collaboration, titled "Beautee and the Braun," accompanied by the tagline, "You've Cena them together in Dua other movies." Cena playfully embraced the concept, stating, "Well, I'll be back to promote that project, sir."
Adding a comedic twist to the hypothetical movie, Colbert humorously suggested, "The twist is, you're the beauty, she's the Braun," to which Cena laughed it off, acknowledging that his audience may not entirely buy into the unconventional casting idea.
During the engaging interview, Cena also shared some behind-the-scenes anecdotes from their recent projects, highlighting his nervousness on the set of Argylle, where he co-starred with Lipa and the charismatic Henry Cavill. Cena expressed admiration for Lipa's honesty, recounting how she openly admitted to having "some performance jitters."
The duo previously joined forces in the world of animation, lending their voices to the characters of Merman Barbie and Mermaid Barbie in the highly anticipated Barbie movie. Their collaboration continued in the 2024 thriller Argylle, where Cena portrayed Argylle's (played by Henry Cavill) best friend, while Lipa took on the role of his formidable opponent.
