If the raunchy R-rated comedy “Vacation Friends” does anything, it provides further evidence of how assured of a comedic actor John Cena has become.

Similar to fellow muscle-bound WWE wrestler Dwayne Johnson, Cena has been able to make the transition to bonafide film star. Even more so than Johnson, Cena’s dry, deadpan wit and willingness to do anything for a laugh makes him well-suited for comedy. Despite his square-jaw and wall-like build, he could easily have a long-lasting career in comedy rather than action films.
