First appearing in a small role in “The Suicide Squad,” Jennifer Holland, the better half of director James Gunn, starred opposite John Cena in “Peacemaker.” Unsurprisingly, the actor had a lot to say about the WWE star, who she called “a larger-than-life celebrity.”
Though she met him on “The Suicide Squad,” Holland told LA Confidential that she “didn’t know what to expect,” but Cena “is just the most wonderful person that we could have ever gotten to be the lead of our series.” She elaborated that he was always the first to show up on set and “gave 150 percent all the time.” Discussing the 45-year-old’s work ethic, Holland explained that “it kind of permeates through the whole cast and crew what that person in the main role brings to work every single day; he’s a consummate professional.” She then praised his comedy, stating that “his brain is a never-ending trove of improv.”

Holland went on to add, “I’ve learned a lot from him and I hope to God that someday again I’ll get to work with John because he’s just the greatest.” In another interview with Looper, she discussed how there was “so much more depth to him, and he was capable of so much more in terms of the types of performances that he has ever been able to get the chance to play.” The 34-year-old actor feels that was the crux of what Gunn wanted to do: Showcase the side of Cena we don’t see often.
