Cena has come a long way since picking up passengers to and from Boston Logan International Airport after graduating from high school.

The Massachusetts native was so bad at his job that he lasted just a few months.

“I was not a good limo driver – on my first pickup, I was three hours late,” Cena told Bloomberg.

“I was just taking the wrong road over and over and over again.

“This was 1995, so there were no mobile phones, so I couldn’t call anybody and go, ‘Yo, I’m lost.’ I was just late.”

Cena said every customer was dissatisfied with his pickups and he was quickly fired.

“I think [I had] around a total of 12 pickups, every one of them horrible,” he told ESPN.

Cena’s bittersweet relationship with cars continued when he moved to Los Angeles to seek his fame and fortune.

After moving to Los Angeles, the aspiring bodybuilder ended up sleeping in the back of his car during a time when he was homeless.

His job at Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach didn’t pay enough to cover his living costs.

“I slept in my car for a while, which happened to be a very roomy 1991 Lincoln Town Car,” Cena told The U.S. Sun.

“I had my clothes in the trunk and I slept in the back seat. I’d wake up, use the locker rooms and the shower, and repeat the process all over again.”

Cena also lived off free pizza from a local restaurant.

“They had a deal where, if you could eat their whole pizza, you got it for free,” Cena told Kevin Hart.

“I used to eat there every night, a whole pizza, so I didn’t have to pay, because I didn’t have the money to pay the guy.”

While working out, another gym-goer suggested that he try wrestling.

After several years, Cena made it to WWE and ascended the ranks to become one of the most successful wrestlers ever.

Cena is now worth approximately $80million following his move into acting, which has included roles in the past two Fast and Furious movies as Jakob Toretto, brother to Vin Diesel’s Dom.

The Hollywood star has over 20 cars in his collection, including a Chevy Corvette ZR1, 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, Ferrari F430 Spider, and a 2017 Ford GT which is worth over $500,000.

“My whole existence is an accident,” Cena said.

“My whole existence is based on a series of fortunate events.”
