Lest you’re unaware, John Cena’s pretty popz. Apart from being WWE’s poster boy, he also acts in movies when he’s not busy FU-ing guys with necks bigger than your arms.
Take for example, upcoming Transformers spin-off Bumblebee, where he’ll be playing the role of Agent Burns.
Although I’ve no idea who Agent Burns is, apart from the notion that he appears to be a douchebag in the trailer.
But yeah, back to Cena’s many talents. He can also, apparently, turn invisible.
Which must surely suck, seeing how people will probably inadvertently bump into him. After all, he’s not really that small-sized.
And now…
It seems that the megastar is ready to unveil yet another talent. Unimaginable as it may be, it turns out that John Cena is actually…
Actually…
Capable of speaking chi-nese.
Okay, so it might not be the first time he’s speaking Chinese, seeing how he has been speaking it since a long time ago. Nevertheless, may I just mention how he doesn’t sound half-bad speaking it?
Here, you can take a look down below.
But before that, there’s another thing.
He apparently really loves his Lao Gan Ma.
With Broccoli every day? Wicked.
Chinese culture
WWE has been trying to draw the Chinese audience in for a while now, with videos featuring oriental culture and the star power to lure the attention.
And it seems that this latest video, which was posted on the Miaopai (秒拍) app, is no different.
Although it does get you wondering whether it really isn’t a sponsored post, seeing how Lao Gan Ma is featured not once, not twice, but seven times.
By the way, here’s a brief translation of everything John Cena said, in case you can’t load the video because your teacher just hijacked the Wi-Fi network or something:
“Hello Weibo! I’m currently shooting a movie and I’m on a break and having a meal.
“I cannot use my mobile phone during filming so I’m now filming this because they gave me Lao Gan Ma. I am not familiar with Lao Gan Ma, but the Chinese say this is an excellent chilli sauce.
“So now I use Lao Gan Ma every day on my broccoli. I use a lot of Lao Gan Ma. This is not an advertisement. I am not related to Lao Gan Ma in any way. But I think many Chinese like this a lot. I’m trying to embrace more Chinese culture.
“A lot of Chinese say that Lao Gan Ma is part of Chinese culture so I eat broccoli with Lao Gan Ma every day.
“Really, really good. I really like it.”
Lao Gan Ma
Since John Cena’s so insistent on his eating his greens with some Lao Gan Ma, I felt it was only my job to explain to you guys what the hell it actually is.
Well, long story short;
Lao Gan Ma is a brand of chilli sauce that was manufactured in China (in 1997 to be exact) and developed by Tao Huabi who’s also the face of this picture.
Today, Lao Gan Ma is marketed in over 30 countries, is really big in China, hires more than 2,000 people and self-proclaims to be the largest sauce manufacturer in China.
And to give a rough measure of the corporation’s popularity, the founder, Tao, was ranked within the top 50 richest women in China in 2011, and estimated to be worth US$1.05 billion by Forbes as of 2015.
You can get it in Singapore (of course lah) via any supermarket.
So yes, my fair ladies and gentlemen.
Never underestimate that chilli sauce.
…
Or rather…
JOHN CENAAAAAAA
Sorry, just couldn’t resist that.
By the way, anyone wants to send him sambal chilli?
Pretty sure that’s lit, too.
