star turned actor
John Cena
has revealed neither wrestling nor his blossoming Hollywood career is his passion.
The actor and WWE icon, who is retiring from wrestling in December this year, said he always prioritises his partner Shay Shariatzadeh.
He told Extra: "My number one passion is my wife. Absolutely, that is first on the list. I'd say right behind that is my health so I can be the best husband to my wife."
Despite his upcoming retirement, the "Heads of State" actor said that he will always be part of WWE in some capacity as long as they want him, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"This is my final year in the WWE. I'm retiring this year. We're about halfway through, so I look forward to officially closing the book on in-ring competition.
I will forever be an ambassador of the WWE. I'll be part of that family till they ask me to leave."
The 48-year-old star is stepping away from life as a professional wrestler knowing that his Hollywood career has hit new heights, but he doesn't take it for granted.
He said: "I know how hard it is to get any sort of role. I saw some footage today, which was one of my first roles as a background actor and man, it really warmed my heart.
I don't carry any guilt or shame when I see that, because I got to be on screen, I got to learn a little bit about the business.
"It allowed me to reflect on how far I've come, so, gosh, I just want to make the most of the chances that people take on me."

Is Giorgia Andriani Set To Collaborate With A Leading Music Label For Another Dance Number?
New Delhi: Giorgia Andriani, the Italian actress and model known for her passion for Hindi music and Indian cinema, is reportedly gearing up for another exciting venture with a top music label in the industry. Her deep love for Bollywood inspired her move to India, where she has since established herself as a promising talent in the entertainment world. Giorgia made her acting debut in the Telugu action-comedy series Karoline Kamakshi, a challenging role that showcased her versatility. She later appeared in films like Non-Stop Dhamaal and Martin, winning over audiences with her captivating dance performances and screen presence. Giorgia has reportedly signed with a leading music label for her next song. Sources indicate that this upcoming project will showcase all the elements that have made her popular, catchy lyrics, an infectious melody, and electrifying dance moves. This new track is being seen as a potential turning point in her career and is expected to solidify her position in the Indian music industry. Her previous songs, such as Roop Tera Mastana alongside Mika Singh and Dil Jisse Zinda Hain featuring Jubin Nautiyal's vocals, have already garnered her a loyal fan base. Known for her ability to blend diverse musical styles with her unique flair, Giorgia continues to carve out a distinct niche in a competitive industry. Previously, Giorgia also opened up about the widespread issue of misinformation about celebrities online. She addressed some common misconceptions about herself, clarifying, "If you Google me, it says I am from Milan and that I am 35 years old. Whereas, I am from the South of Italy and I turn 30 this year, in 2025!" She humorously dismissed rumours about her lavish lifestyle, adding, "It also says that I have a huge collection of expensive cars like Ferraris, and well, who doesn't want such rumours to be true?" Acknowledging the negative impact of false information, Giorgia expressed empathy for those affected: "The internet sucks often times! I've grown a thick skin and usually don't care about what is said about me. It doesn't make any difference to me, but I do feel bad for people who are bothered by these kinds of things and get affected," She concluded with a thoughtful note on the dangers of misinformation, saying, "Sometimes things are taken to extreme extents, and I really feel for whoever is hurt because of false statements!" she emphasised. As Giorgia prepares to take her career to new heights with her forthcoming music release, fans eagerly await the fresh energy and talent she continues to bring to the Indian entertainment scene.
