JOHN CENA ON COVER OF PEOPLE MAGAZINE, SAYS HAIR TRANSPLANT CHANGED COURSE OF HIS LIFE

John Cena, in the midst of his WWE retirement run, is on the cover of the latest edition of People Magazine.

On his WWE retirement, Cena said, "Age plays a factor.  I’m not as strong or as fast as I used to be. I made a promise when I started gaining some notoriety that when I’m a step slower, I will go, because there will be kids just as hungry as I was who have earned a shot to see if they can make it.”

Cena also noted he wanted the audience to have closure.

On his hair transplant, Cena said, "As I was trying to hide my hair loss, the audience was bringing it to light.  I saw their signs that said ‘The bald John Cena,’” he says. “They pushed me into going to see what my options were. I now have a routine: red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo, conditioner — and I also got a hair transplant last November. I hate the fact that if there wasn’t so much shame around it, I’d have gotten it done 10 years ago. I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 [men] suffer from thinning or baldness."

“They don’t do anything except move your hair, one by one, from one area to another."

“If somebody’s going to sweat me for that, I don’t think there’s any shame in that.  It completely changed the course of my life.”
