John Cena absolutely loves fish and chips and a Full English Breakfast
The 48-year-old actor has been over to the UK a lot over the past two decades during his time as a WWE superstar, and he's embraced the local cuisine to the point that he went for a very traditional meal before Tuesday's (01.07.25) Heads of State world premiere in London.

Appearing on ITV daytime show This Morning, he said: "I enjoyed [fish and chips] so much that right before our premiere last night, we had about 90 minutes and myself and my two friends, all from America, we sat down, we ordered fish and chips, we had a pint, and that got us ready for the world premiere."
John - who revealed he went for vinegar and a little bit of dunking in the tartar sauce" - got more of a taste for a chippy after the dish plays a role in his new movie with Idris Elba.
The Hollywood star also opened up on his admiration for a "savoury breakfast", which he learned to love during his early WWE days.
He added: "All savoury! In America, we tend to lean on the sweet. It's all very filling, but very sweet. Boy, do I love a savoury breakfast! "I've been a fan of the English breakfast for a long time - you gotta remember, with WWE, I've being coming over here for 25 years."
Although the lines between real life and art have been blurred with his food preferences, John insisted that won't be the case after he played the President of the United States in the new action comedy.
He quipped: "I am playing the role of the president of the United States. I would much rather play the role of President of the United States than BE the President of the United States. I'm happy in my lane!"
When This Morning host Ben Shephard joked that real life president Donald Trump often appears to be playing a role too, the wrestling legend kept his response diplomatic.
He teased: "I allow everybody to have their own perspective of that. I'm just really excited for our movie, and that's my way of weaving around that."
