WWE Star John Cena Plays FERDINAND, Reveals What He Wants For Christmas

The “Story of Ferdinand” is a beloved children’s classic about a softhearted bull.

John Cena steps behind the mic in Ferdinand to play the titular character of the film.

BackstageOL’s Dave Morales talks to the WWE star about what attracted him to the project, the most important message in the film, and new projects we can expect to see him in. The Carlos Saldanha-directed comedy adventure is inspired by the beloved book “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson.

The film’s synopsis:

FERDINAND tells the story of a giant bull with a big heart. After being mistaken for a dangerous beast, he is captured and torn from his home. Determined to return to his family, he rallies a misfit team on the ultimate adventure. Set in Spain, Ferdinand proves you can’t judge a bull by its cover.
