Thank you for You're coming back. Part two is underway. When you decided to say, you know what, I'm gonna give this acting thing a try. Because Rock Wressell then went to acting steal wrestle's periodically here and there. Bautista did the same thing. Batista now he mainly just does acting, and even Roman Raines he's followed in Europe. So what did you have conversations with Rock? Did you have conversations with Batista?
I did, But I think our pastor are different, Okay. I think especially with Dwayne he did WWE and said I want to do act, okay. I think with Bautista he also said I now want to do act.
Okay.
I got a chance to do act okay. And I got a chance early in my career. Two thousand and four was my first movie and it didn't go so well, and then I did a bunch of bad movies. But I got those chances because the WWE was opening a studio right again, if life cracks, the door open, see what's behind.
Yes.
So my boss was like, hey, you got to go to Australia to make this movie? Why because we were gonna do it with stone col and he backed out when we film in a week, Get down there, Okay, let's go. That got me kind of run out of the movie business in two thousand and nine, and then in the early like twenty ten, eleven twelve, I was approached with very small roles and I had been playing the same character on TV. Not that I was bored, but this was a chance to be like, Hey, do you want to make fun of yourself or do you want to be part of this movie where you can dress up as a different character and do different stuff. So I didn't say I was going to go act. I just merely said, yo, there's an opportunity in front of me that i'd like to do. I know why I fucked up in the past because I wanted to be in the ring when I should have wanted to be on set. Right, let's give this thing a try. And when you give it a try, give it a try. Respect the process, respect the long days, respect the multiple takes. It's not live entertainment. There's not ten thousand people scream in your name. Do this for this and do it the best you can, and that's when things start. Good work, I'm a firm believer in good work will get you another opportunities somewhere right, and that started to happen.
What's the hardest part about auditioning? Failing?
It is the thing and and a lot of a lot of the audition process they're just looking. A lot of it is aesthetic. You know, you see a character in your mind when you read the book, and if the person walks in and they're the spitting image of that character, man, they got a good chance. Anyone can be coachable. If I'm a director, I want to think if I'm your head coach and I see you and I'm like, man, I think we're good coaching. I think we can help this talent. It's a lot. That's a lot of the audition process. So the shitty thing is failing a lot like it is a business of rejection. In baseball, you get to hit three out of ten times, you make the Hall of Fame. Yeah, that's an f audition. It's like god, if you land one out of one hundred. For some it's one out of a thousand. Like you, you just get rejected all the time and you're basically being told you're not gonna and they kind of don't tell you why. It's just you didn't get the gig. So if you know you need to work on your speed easy, I'll practice that. I'll get better at that.
But just tell me that. So you're not fast enough, Yeah, you don't get young. You'll get anything. You just don't get the.
Start your routes. You need to work with your route. So then you need to be able to get on the edge. You need to get scanny. So well you say, nah, you know, you don't know what to practice. You know, it's it's just tough. It's tough.
But then train wreck happens. Yep, what was that situation? Like?
Well, I mean you like they call you, was like, okay, we got this role, we got this roll, John, We like for you to come down there read for it, and uh give this thing a goll yep.
And I sat in a room with Amy Schumer and jud Appatow and I was prepared. We went through the script and then life handed me an opportunity. Judd said, put the script down and just riff, and we just did. And and I wasn't afraid of looking silly, and I wasn't afraid of not being funny, and I wasn't afraid of failing because I was failing all the time anyway, and I got advice from Judd behind the camera of kind of encouraging me to what say, Amy is an angel. She made the environment so comfortable. And then when I got the part eventually, and they were like, yeah, it's a sex scene, and we want you to do elaborate and crazy stunt sex and all those lines you had, we're probably not gonna use. We're he just gonna do this stunt sex scene. Yeah, sure, let's do it. Be naked in front of everybody. Yeah, no problem, let's do it. So that also comes with like, well, people are gonna laugh at me, and people are gonna make fun of the way I look physically. Okay, man, let's go being okay with self, you know, And okay, this is what this profession is about. Yeah, let's do it. Let's give it a try.
Is it hard doing a sex scene? Oh my god, it's the worst. Why what's so bad? A money?
Right now?
Did I miss up? No?
This is the thing right now. You guys at home think it's just us. Yeah, no, there's a whole fucking world back here. Yes, and this is this is like a great reduction. Nonetheless, but dude, man like catering was right there, and like the sound tenses right there. They started off. We start off practice. It was like a closed set and I'm I I've come to grips of like a this is who you are.
You work every day, be the.
Best you can, fucking man, let it hang out, right. So when that attitude literally all okay, okay, a short story either way, it's just there are so many people you need to make a movie. There is nothing intimate about it, right, nothing, so like it's real embarrassing. And then on top of that, to do a comedic sex scene, yeah, where you're like making fun of yourself and and have it they literally like try to have the most awkward sex you possibly can, Okay, and with an audience watching that. That's it's different. I don't want to say it sucks. It's just it's a it's different than you all think it is. Yes, it's different.

Say? So?
We never got to officially meet, but I've met him at wweka, he's awesome. He is, he's awesome, Like, yeah, he's a great person.
Okay, let me ask you this, which was hard of the sex scene and train wreck or sex scene at the Oscars.
The Oscars because I got all the people behind the camera of any production. But then I walk out in front of a room of my peers, many of which I've never met because I haven't worked my way up to meet Right, I have the most decorated performers, producers, directors in one room, and I'm gonna go out there with my balls in the wind with an index card covering my stuff, being like.
Hey, guys, is this funny? Are we good? Are we all right?
That was?
That was a how did they be sure to do that?
It was funny. Jimmy, kimmeill call me personally and he's like, I need you to come to the office. Jimmy, I'm in between stuff, like I need some time to recharge. And I know I'm I'm very good with boundaries and self of like if I just give me twenty four.
Hours and I'm back in.
I really needed some time.
And he's like, just let me send you the bit and he sent it on paper and I called him back.
I'm like, when do you need to be there?
It wasn't It wasn't a thing of like, And I honestly thought I would be more naked, right, I expected full dick and nuts. But it's Disney, so you gotta, I like, put the tape on my butt crack and get stuff. That was even more embarrassing, right, Yeah, going out there with the taped butthole.
That's tough. That's tough.
But uh, as soon as soon as I read it, and I'm so fortunate that Jimmy Kimble thought of me and we went through it rehearsal, he was like, Man, this is gonna this is gonna be a moment. This is gonna be funny. And only because when I invested, I didn't invest. I invested. I didn't be like, I'll do it, but I gotta not do this and maybe I will work or whatever. No, I'm like, man, I want to wear my watching birkenstocks.
So it was just.
Knowing that it's an opportunity and investing in that and and I don't know what or if any yield that will have the money wasn't good. It was a moment to perform in front of my peers. But I don't know if it got me anything, but I knew that I wanted to do it.
You know, then you had you did the Suicide Squad and the Suicide Squad with Will Smith eat your Elba. So these roles are getting bigger and bigger. So when you get like, damn, that's Will Smith man, let's eat your sailbook? Does that thought? Do you get starstruck when you get.
All the time? And I think a lot of the a lot of the awe comes from like it's I'm starts for talking to you. You have been able to take something you love and make it your vocation, not a job like what you were, what you were put here to do. And then after that chapter closes, you are now taking something you love and making it your vocation. To me, I'm in awe of like, that's fucking super cool. So when I'm standing next to Idris, who's been a performer on screen for decades and operates at a high level, I'm in awe. It's not of what his fame can do for me. If you look at how I operate on social media, I'm very hardline boundaries. I don't ever I don't ever try to treat my relationships with people as transactional. But damn do I have respect for people that can take what they love and make it their vocation. I remember meeting Kevin Hart. Kevin is a like a fucking Tasmanian devil. Yes, that dude goes he grinds me. My gearbox stops at like fifth, his goes to tenth. Yes, and he's on the phone and doing stuff in all right roll and he immediately snaps into Carrell. He can fucking cry, he can buy South cut me byself, damn it. And he was trying to give away secrets of like, no, look, this is what you gotta do.
You do this.
I'm like, Kevin, I am so grateful for this information. I mean grateful to even stand next to you. I don't have that gear like, thank you so much for the knowledge. And dude, your success is amazing. I just I wouldn't be good at what you do. I know where my limits are right, and it's it's amazing to watch you work, dude. Right, he was the most the craziest example of somebody I've seen fluent in so many levels.
Do you do you.
Get an off when you see people greatness, you know, having been around lebron and you be already. You watch Jordan, you watch Kobe, you watch that, you watch all these great players in football. I played with John l where Ray Lewis, and you see Tom Brady. Say, Manny, operated do you get an awe? You like, I see exactly why that person he or she's enjoyed the levelless success that they've had.
And the answer is always the same. It's the work. And by the way, no compliment for the Bronx, those colors.
And I like that.
I like that that is, but I would just thinking, like you from Connecticut, that's all right, be a good guess.
I mean your cloud.
Appreciate that. Appreciate that. The answer is always the same. It's the work. Everyone thinks it happens overnight, and a lot of people build this construct of like, oh, they're just lucky. Luck is a part of life, preparation, MutS, opportunity, that's what it is. But man, luck can get you a minute, Luck can get you your five minutes. Luck can get you one hit, single labor effort. Work allows you to call it your vocation. And whenever someone rises to the top of their vocation, dude.
That is just work.
You know, that is work, that is at a level that it's I think that we call it luck or or people might call it luck because they just they might have trouble understanding how much work it takes. I'm always in awe because, like yo, I knew how much effort that is. That's a lot of effort.
You know, Fast and the Furious, I mean, are you going to be an eleven?
I would be in The Fast and the Furious as long as they would have me, because it's an action movie about cars.
Yes, and we're talking off camera. You love you love your cars, dude.
So that franchise I'm a fan of. To be invited in is awesome. But I did have a pretty big fiery wreck in the last one. I know that they have a reputation of resurrecting characters. I hope I made it. They didn't have a funeral for me, so I'm okay. I'm okay, but I hope I made it. I hope I can do the next one. We Know You Love UC four got a new GT out. They got one to twenty. Now about the four gt we go meet it. I think I'll let those find a home.
Your new movie Jackpot? How did you prepare for this role?
So this Every once in a while a project gets put in your lap that it's like, WHOA, I think if we were to shoot this tomorrow, I'd be okay. I get to be a goofy, virtuous, self deprecating, larger than life character who owns a fledgling protection agency. Who I don't know any special skills or anything. I have a few of my own homemade weapons, but I throw people through walls, I lift up heavy things, and I get to make fun of myself. And I get to surround myself with a wonderful comedic cast and a wonderful comic director and writer who are going to fire jokes at other people to make fun of me.
Yeah, I can do that.
So this is one of those ones where it wasn't like man, I had to take six months to get in the inside the mind of nol. Like it was like, Yo, this is a bunch of great jokes. The script is great. What would you do if you won the lottery and had to make it to Sundown but everyone else with a ticket could kill you and claim their prize. Wow, Like it's an easy concept. To understand great cast, fun action like it and not asking too much of me. They weren't like, hey, we need you to go learn this ancient martial arts. It's like you want to throw people through walls and haymakers and stuff, and yeah, no, that's fun.
How did do you do your own stunts in this movie?
A lot of the participation was me because the stunt coordinators are like, Okay, it's big, he's lumbering, he's unorthodox at times. That's how we're gonna plan our action. And because it's an action comedy. Do you watch Jackie Chanzos, Yes, very gifted, but he does action comedy. He's not afraid to make fun of himself. They also knew that I was gamed to do that stuff, so a lot of the physical jokes I'm a part of as well.
So if somebody really tried to hire you to protect them.
The billion jackpot? How much? What cap of percentage are we looking for? Uh?
So I don't so chances are if they were to meet their demise and I'm probably their protectors, So I'm going down on a blaze of glory, I would ask for ninety percent because I don't I don't.
Think we're make it of debt is still dead. I don't know they were to make it, you know. So let me ask your question. Let's say the roles are reverse. You want a billion.
Dollars, I think finding finding someone with a special set of skills.
I I don't.
But then again I don't know, right, because if you have someone who has is so skilled in the arts of stealth, espionage, disposing of problems, maybe at the final minute, you know what I'm saying, I get the ticket, it would it would have to be someone that doesn't have a lottery ticket. If you can't play, you can't win. So they don't have a ticket, and they would have that special set of skills. And I don't know who that would be.
The owning your own name ww still currently owns that. And they get a piece of any project that you're part of. Sure you're okay with that? So do you like one day? Because remember they just gave DJ Dwayne Johnathan, they just gave him the rock he had that.
Now, yep, do you want that? You want that bestowed? You know?
So when you say that, like I believe, context is the is very important in conversations. The WWE fair is an understatement. Generous would be a better scenario. I have such a trustworthy relationship with them over two decades. Correct, I have a champion of the brand. I love the company. It is my home. They are my family. Even after twenty twenty five, I've already signed an extension to remain a member of the WW family for the near, mid and long term future. Gotcha, I don't think there'll be a beat of my heart where WW blood doesn't come out of that said, Without them, I don't exist. And I fell into a weird scenario where we're for a hot second, people were using their real names. Nowadays people have real sounding names, but it's not their real name, so they can own their real names. Fell into a weird scenario, and WW recognizes that they're very focused on intellectual property, as they should be. If I make a song and somebody wants to use the time as now on their commercial and they just steal it, well, that's not exactly fair. Is a huge conversation in the movie business about artificial intelligence. If someone scans me, takes my face and makes two hundred movies in their own accord without giving me anything, I don't know how fair that is. So in the vision of fairness. Whenever the WWIP is approached, they have to be cut in on the deal. And that's not them going, that's me going, hey, I'm doing this. Let's work out the business. A wise man once said to me, making money is the toughest part, dividing it. That's easy. Making it's real tough. So I always operated under that construct. Ww has been and this since the start of my contract. They've never tried to change my name, even when they realized they made a misas think like, they never tried to alter my being or character. They've always given me freedom to who I want because we trust each other. I'm not out to try to rob them of what they've earned. And again they're not out to try to take what's not theirs. Everybody wants to play fair. And when I say fair, ww's terms are generous.
You've been in the stock market, you like the investment.
So what was some of the best advice that you've received in some of the best advice that you've given people to help them be able to do what you've done?
John all over the map, But I love this, This is great, it's great.
Don't spend beyond your means okay, I think that is important to Is that easier saying than done?
Yes, yes, because of because of a lot of things. But I'll trim it, make it easy. Don't spend what you don't have, and try to spend less than you have so you can save a little bit. Don't carry because and I know there that's not a universal thing, because there are many people who would advocate when the percentage of debt is low, carrying debt's good because I can beat the percentage in other investments. I'm just afraid one day they're going to call the margin and I don't have the money. So I tend to not want to owe anyone anything. That way, all tabs are square at the end of the business day. Don't spend more than you have, don't carry, don't carry any bad debt, and be accountable. I think that's and know who you are. If you're someone who wants to get rich quick, there's nothing wrong with that. Understand the math behind that. Talk to a venture capitalists and tell them, ask them how many of their assets fail. A venture capitalists will invest in four hundred companies opening one survives from one. So if you're at home with your hundred bucks and you want to get rich quick. You got to take that hundred bucks somehow, bet on four hundred companies and hope one hits. And if you push it all into one you are locked into that hook line and sinker. So I think, know who you are as an investor, dude, I try to be safe. My stuff is the most unsexy shit you'll ever talk about it. And people always are like, man, this thing's gonna smoke. It's gonna be great, good for you. And I'm also okay with the success of others.
You can go with tb os huh man, this I like this club. Can I get one of those fancy lockers here? This is good?
So know who you are. Yeah, And I think keeping up with the person next to you is a bad idea. Just always try to have a good balance sheet. Look at your books, look at where you want to be, and look at like look at what you spend, what you earn, look what you spend it on. I think getting out of the habit of spending more than you make that right there, changes the dynamic a better thing. If you have enough money to begin saving money, holy shit, you are beating the game. If you have no debt and can put money away.
You're ahead.
What's John's best purchase and his worst purchase? Worst purchase? Man, I made a ton of bad purchases. Bad purchases would have to be cars, A lot of a lot of bad cars. I have lost so much money on cars. And that's another thing. Be okay with your failures. I love cars. It's a passion. I don't do it to make money, so I lose money because it's a passion. I bought I remember when I started making money. My worst purchase is a because I didn't want to spring for Lamborghini, so I bought a fake one.
Oh my god, how do you buy a fake Lambo? I found a way to do it. So we had a lambou body with a board Injinese.
At BMWV twelve and I was like, yeah, it's gonna I was a young This is like two thousand, this is two thousand and three. I found a company it would do it that put a V twelve in it. I'm like, man, it's the same thing. It looks pretty good, like it looks great. Yeah, I'll buy it. They tried to stiff me out of the car. I had to ask some friends who knew how to find things to go and find things. I then had to get a title for the car, of which I did. The car finally shows up after two years from me of waiting. It doesn't go into gear. The motor is held together with the timing of two Chevy V six's, so everything's confused. Nothing runs. The car is not roadworthy, so I sent it to a shop. This is two thousand and five. I just got the keys to that car a week ago. What a week ago? I've sent it to ten shops. I finally found somebody to do it. They did it tip to tail, and I will tell you it looks great. But I honestly, honestly say, I have the cost, and the collectible Lamborghini market is thriving. I have the cost of about a real roadster and a half into this kit car.
You could have just bought a brand new one.
I could have brought two sawed one in half and this one and a half car.
So to be like, yeah, this is it, this is yeah.
But that was a lesson to be like, hey, if you take shortcuts, you're gonna get what you pay for. So that was my takeaway from that, and also like, I don't regret it because I have a takeaway. And in the process, I've met a whole lot of shady shop owners, which are great, which allows me to feel good about a good shop owner when I meet a good mechanic and someone who can do honest work. So there's a lot of good takeaways from that. But as far as like statistics, boy, I got my ass whipped on that best purchase shit.
My wife's engagement she said, yes, we don't get to that one too. Fame.
How have you been able to deal with fame? Because you're known, your global you'll known the world over and sometime when you out with your wife you just want to have a nice quiet evening.
You don't get very many of those. And then John, can I get a picture of John? Can I sign it? Can you sign an autograph? Hey? John?
Hey, this is my brother Facetat. Say hello to my brother. Can you wish my wife happy birthday? It's not anniversary?
How do you deal with that?
So that's been a journey, and man, my wife is tremendous with that because she understands it. And again I just talked about the kit. You buy a kit, you get a kit not a real one. Find out what you want. If what I want is privacy, don't go out, stay in. And if you want to go out, guess what All this fun work that you get to do. A lot of that job is public service and public relations. And these people aren't coming up to me and like, yo, I want to fight you. No one's really coming up being like I fucking hate everybody was like yo, I just want to say hire their candor. Sometimes might be a little it's not not what I would see is, but I don't blame them, So I try not to blame them.
Now.
I'm not perfect sometimes if I'm especially when I'm going for a morning coffee, I need the coffee before I can go, hey, what's up. But I also know that when I leave the house for coffee, I'm leaving the house. It's part of the work. And in wrestling travel jeez, I wish every game was a home game. Yes, the travel in sports is tough, yes, but it's part of the work. This is part of the work. And you know what I get to do for my job dress up, So like dress up and be imaginative. It's not that those moments are hard, and it's not that, and I think overall people are aware. I'm sorry to interrupt you. They know what's going on, right, but damn it, they're shooting their shop. Life just gave them an opportunity.
They're taking it, probably never going to see Johnslena Gain.
I would like to hope that if there's ever been an interaction where somebody walks away gnarly from our interaction, they understand that maybe, like, wasn't a good time to take that opportunity.
We're all human.
But I also would like to think that I got more good interactions than bad ones, because I really try to be conscious of First of all, I would be nowhere without that person, correct. And I'll go to places and people are like, yo, do you want me to stop people from coming over? I'm like, they're the reason I can sit here, so no, because man, let's let's get everybody. I'll say hi to eighty people and then we can all go about our meal and everything's fine. But normally people are respectful, they're excited, you know, and it only takes a few seconds. The biggest thing is like I'm going to the bathroom.
That's tough. Yeah, yeah, we ain't shaking no hand don't be daffing. Stop on a talking too. But again, people don't know, so I literally what you mean? You don't know? You ain't supposed to talk nobody in the bathroom.
No, man, I know, So I'll I'll take a second. I used to be real confrontational, but now I'll take a second. As the business is going on, be like, you do realize where we are?
Right?
No, you're in a bathroom. There's other people. We're all doing unspeakable things. Yeah, I'm good, but can we do that outside?
Oh? Man, I'm sorry. I didn't know the figurea hey man? Oh no, how you gonna reach?
Because sometimes you get lost in the moment and a lot of times it's like, oh, he's finally private, he's at a time where I can approach him when it's the worst time that And if I got to be somewhere, like a lot of times on set, they're calling me into work. Those days are expensive. I'll shake as many hands as I can after they call cut because people will come to these locations and it's great. But if I got to go, I gotta go because the days are expensive. And while they move the lights, then we can talk. Or if I'm trying to make a flight like that's also the worst, Like, oh my god, I gotta run for the gate. Hey man, I've made people like yo, keep up and you got to take your picture while you're walking. It's only because I just don't have the time. And I'd like to think that any other human being can understand, like, oh shit, maybe he just didn't have the time. And if they don't again, I'm in customer service, and I lose that customer. Hopefully I get opportunities to do good work and earn the MAC. I'm gonna get you out of here on this one.
I think I've read this, and it could be maybe somebody just reported it was a lot at one point in time that you didn't want kids.
Where are you on kids now? I don't want them. You don't know, and I'm still there. I'm forty seven. I don't have them. You don't want to love Johnny So or Joanna's. That's great, and that's usually what everyone says. And I gotta tell you it's not the easiest out there, because you know, a lot of why we're here is to reproduce. I have a certain curiosity about life, and I also know I also know the investment that it takes, and my biggest fear is as someone who's driven, many times, stubborn and selfish. I try to approach the world with kindness and curiosity, but I don't think I'm personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it needs to be a great parent, because I want to live life for all it is and I still have a lot to do, and I still want to do a lot. I have a wonderful partner I do it with. We've had open conversations about this. We share the same values. It's a tough subject to talk about because it immediately puts you in a category and we can't help but judge. People are human nature. We're all judgmental. I'd like to believe that I operate under the construct that everyone's okay to live in their life, and I can tell you this is not like a knee jerk reaction. I've thought long and hard about this, even as my youngest age is at like fifteen sixteen, I remember thinking about it. My opinions only hit that gray area during emotionally difficult times, and I'm very happy with where I stand. I have a lot of joy and fulfillment in my life. And that's pretty much where I stand on that. With that a difficult conversation to have when your wife no, it was actually I learned from every scenario, and I've learned from my past.
Yeah, because you had a reality show, right, I did, and it would play.
Oh man, so that no, no, no again. I don't regret that. I look back on that fondly because it really showed me who I was. Okay, So when I begin, I got knocked off the bike. That's okay, I love Love's time to get back up and go find it again. And in that due process, I opened with the uncomfortable conversations. So those are like first and second date questions with my now wife. Yeah, and it was great because we both got to lean into these uncomfortable moments and address this stuff. And now we've actually built a foundation where whenever one of us is feeling bothered, nothing's off the table. So we of course nobody's perfect. We have our disagreements, but we handle them right then and there, and nothing is too uncomfortable to be unapproachable. And that's like starting off with the conversation about, hey, where do you see family life and what is the definition of our family and what brings you joy? And is this a bucket that you need to fill? Those conversations have helped me, at least personally, and her forge a path together as a team.
You show up, but like this is about to be the shortest date in the world. Where are you own? So?
But I also believe there's something else, somebody out there for everyone. Yes, I mean there. We can see that. The way the world is, there is a lot of different people out there, and I think that's beautiful because that can lead to love connection, which is good. I guess my takewun this is if you're out there and you feel alone, you're not. It may be hard to find someone who has the same values, but they're out there, and don't give up searching because you're not as alone as they think you are. John and Lady, I'll do this one nice.
