John Cena Reveals The One Thing He Wishes He’d Known Sooner Amid Ca.cer Diagnosis
John Cena has opened up about his skin cancer diagnosis, urging fans to prioritize sun protection. The 47-year-old WWE star revealed he neglected sunscreen as a child and later developed two cancerous spots, which were surgically removed. “I didn’t want to have a routine, and I thought the problem would never reach me,” he admitted. Now, he stresses daily SPF use, noting men often overlook skincare compared to women.
Cena called his diagnosis a “sobering” wake-up call that changed his perspective. While he’s now in a “great space,” he uses his platform to spread awareness, comparing SPF to fitness—both offer health benefits beyond aesthetics. The actor, who recently wrapped what may be his final WWE tour, reflected on life transitions: “Retirement means closing one chapter and opening another.” He emphasized embracing change with courage, acknowledging that “you can’t please everyone.”
