‘Peacemaker’ Vigilante Actor on Working With ‘Unbelievably Shredded’ John Cena

Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. That was the case for Peacemaker actor Freddie Stroma, who plays Vigilante, the sidekick/best bud of John Cena’s leading character. The Vigilante actor spoke about stepping into the role during Season 1 of the hit series, while also expanding on Season 2 and working alongside Cena and the popular Peacemaker character.

The 38-year-old actor specifically addressed what it was like for the “ego” standing next to Cena half the time, considering he’s certainly in good shape himself. However, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stroma admitted that Cena is “just so many leagues away” in regard to his fitness.

Stroma had no problem giving his honest assessment on the topic while praising Cena for his stellar physique, something that’s remained throughout his career in both the WWE and as an actor. While speaking with THR, the Vigilante actor said it’s not too bad standing next to Cena, when the rest of the cast is all in “the same ballpark,” but did give the Peacemaker star a tip of the cap.

“Well, it’s actually not too bad,” Stroma said. “If you’re in a show with other people who are kind of— you’re all in the same ballpark [build-wise] — it can be quite, you know, competitive or intimidating. John’s just so unbelievably big and muscular and shredded that I just don’t even think about it, because it’s just, he’s just so many leagues away.”

You have to respect the honesty of Stroma, and it seems the cast has essentially just gotten used to the fact that Cena truly stands on his own in this regard.
