LONDON, England — His Excellency Ellison Greenslade, Bahamas High Commissioner to London, and his wife Kimberly Greenslade, Senior Manager of The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism in London, are pictured with John Cena, the professional wrestler, actor, rapper, and TV personality, at the J.W. Marriot Steakhouse in London on Tuesday, July 9, 2019.
Mrs. Greenslade posted the photo on her Facebook page with the following caption: “Look who we ran into at JW Marriot Steakhouse in London tonight! He was so gracious, John Cena.”
As a TV personality, Cena is currently the host of “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” on Nickelodeon.
According to Wikipedia, “Cena was born and raised in West Newbury, Massachusetts. He moved to California in 1998, where he pursued a career as a bodybuilder before transitioning into professional wrestling in 1999 when he debuted for Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW). Cena soon signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 2000, and was initially assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
“In WWE, Cena gained industry fame after adopting a persona of a trash-talking rapper, and won his first singles title, the United States Championship, in 2004. The next year, Cena would win the WWE Championship for the first time. Following that, Cena’s character transitioned into a “Superman-like” heroic figure, and subsequently led the company as its franchise player and public face for the next decade. Cena has headlined several major WWE pay-per-view events, closing the company’s flagship annual event, WrestleMania, five times.”
Wikipedia adds: “Outside of wrestling, Cena has attained success as a musician, actor, and philanthropist. He released the rap album You Can’t See Me in 2005, which gained platinum certification in the United States. He has had leading film roles in The Marine (2006), 12 Rounds (2009), Trainwreck (2015), Ferdinand (2017), Blockers (2018), and Bumblebee (2018). He is also known for his involvement in numerous charitable causes, namely the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where he has granted over 600 wishes, the most in company history.”
