"I was run out of the movie business in 2009 for doing bad movies where I wasn’t present," Cena, 48, told People magazine. "I thought that just because I wore a golden leather belt on Monday and Friday, they’d come see whatever I’m doing. It’s not true."
"As I was trying to hide my hair loss, the audience was bringing it to light," he told the outlet. "I saw their signs that said ‘The bald John Cena.' 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," he revealed. "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."
"A different hairstyle can identify a part that can get me more work, do the thing I love to do," he says.
He rebounded with comedic roles in 2015 with Trainwreck, Sisters and Daddy’s Home, then action turns in the Transformers and Fast & Furious franchises. He expanded his role as Peacemaker, an egotistical vigilante in 2021’s Suicide Squad, into an acclaimed HBO Max series a year later.
