Watch John Cena deadlift Jimmy Fallon: 'Bro, I'm John Cena'
John Cena is the kind of guy who celebrates his 40th birthday by deadlifting more than 600 pounds — as opposed to what Jimmy Fallon suggested: relaxing on an island. “Bro, I’m John Cena,” the actor and WWE star reminded the late-night host on The Tonight Show Friday night. To further prove his muscle, Fallon asked Cena if he could deadlift a person and, to the delight of the audience, Cena could — and he demonstrated by deadlifting Fallon.
Cena came on The Tonight Show to promote American Grit, which returns this Sunday for season 2. “Sunday nights on Fox are gonna be a very inspirational ride,” he told Fallon before offering the host a lift. “Here’s the thing: You gotta think, ‘Stiff as a board, stiff as a board,'” Cena advised.
It was no challenge for someone who already pulled this off earlier in April.
