John Cena Gets Candid About Hair Transplant, Says "It Changed The Course Of My Life"
John Felix Anthony Cena, popularly known as John Cena, is an American actor who shot to fame with his career in wrestling. In a recent interview with People, the professional wrestler opened up about a deeply personal transformation - one that has nothing to do with his acting or wrestling career. He shared that he got a hair transplant in 2023, which "completely changed the course" of his life. John Cena Opens Up About Getting A Hair Transplant If you are an avid fan of WWE, you must have noticed that John Cena always used to wear a hat. While the actor looked stylish, the real reason was his hair thinning. Many of his fans even started addressing him as "The Bald John Cena", which pushed the Heads Of State actor to talk about it. He told the publication, "As I was trying to hide my hair loss, the audience was bringing it to light. I saw their signs that said 'The bald John Cena'," shared the 48-year-old. Sharing his haircare routine, John Cena added, "They pushed me into going to see what my options were. I now have a routine: red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo, conditioner, and I also got a hair transplant last November. I hate the fact that if there wasn't so much shame around it, I'd have gotten it done 10 years ago. I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 [men] suffer from thinning or baldness." Explaining the process of hair transplant in simple terms, John Cena shared, "They don't do anything except move your hair, one by one, from one area to another." The Peacemaker actor says that he feels no shame in it. "If somebody's going to sweat me for that, I don't think there's any shame in that. It completely changed the course of my life." According to Healthline, hair loss is a common problem and affects 60 percent of men and 50 percent of women. The treatment is used to add more hair in areas where you are thinning and balding. It usually involves taking hair from thicker parts of the scalp or other parts of the body and grafting it to the affected area.

Grab Your Popcorn: 20 Must-Watch Summer Blockbuster Movies
Source: Bettmann / Getty The summer blockbuster is more than just a movie; it's an experience. Born in the mid-1970s, this cultural phenomenon transformed the way audiences engage with cinema, turning theaters into destinations for thrilling, larger-than-life entertainment. RELATED: Best Of The Baddest: Black Horror Movie Villains We Love To Hate RELATED: Top 20 Classic Black Movies Since 2000 The Birth of the Summer Blockbuster The concept of the summer blockbuster was revolutionized by Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws' in 1975. Released in June, it became the first film to surpass $100 million at the box office, a groundbreaking achievement at the time. This success was attributed to its masterful suspense, John Williams' iconic score, and an innovative marketing campaign that included extensive TV spots and a wide-release strategy. As a result, 'Jaws' not only terrified beachgoers but also established summer as the prime season for big-budget, high-stakes films. Just two years later, George Lucas's 'Star Wars' (1977) cemented the formula for summer blockbusters. With its epic storytelling, groundbreaking special effects, and pioneering merchandising strategy, it captivated audiences and redefined cinematic escapism. From the dinosaur-filled jungles of 'Jurassic Park' to the superhero team-ups in 'The Avengers', summer blockbusters became synonymous with transporting audiences to fantastical worlds. Hallmarks of a Summer Blockbuster What defines a summer blockbuster? These films are characterized by adrenaline-pumping action, unforgettable characters, and universal appeal. Studios strategically release them between May and August to capitalize on school vacations and warm-weather outings. Marketing is a cornerstone of their success, with trailers, merchandise, and viral campaigns building anticipation months in advance. Over the decades, the genre has evolved significantly. The 1980s and 1990s saw the rise of action-packed franchises like 'Indiana Jones' and 'Independence Day', while the 2000s ushered in the superhero era, dominated by Marvel and DC Studios. Today, summer blockbusters are a global phenomenon, with international box office revenue often eclipsing domestic earnings. The Magic of the Summer Blockbuster Ultimately, summer blockbusters are about more than just ticket sales. They represent shared experiences, cheering, gasping, and laughing together in a darkened theater.
