Wrestler-turned-actor John Cena has officially broken the Guinness World Record for the most Make-A-Wish Foundation wishes granted with a 650 count, Guinness announced.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he is the most requested Make-A-Wish celebrity, with no other star even coming close to granting as many wishes as Cena has in the foundation`s decades-long history.
Back in 2015, when he was honoured for granting 500 wishes, the `Peacemaker` actor opened up about the foundation and how much he enjoys doing what he does. “I just drop everything. If I can offer a fantastic experience, I`ll be first in line to do my part,” Cena said at the time.
Cena has been granting wishes since 2002, a few years after he began his career as a professional wrestler. As his popularity as a 16-time world champion soared, so did children`s requests for him to grant their wishes.

Of why he continues granting kids` wishes, Cena said, “I want them to have an experience that will stay with them to forever. I don`t ever want the children or their families to be treated in a way where they feel as if they`re up against anything at all,” reported The Hollywood Reporter.
A champion WWE wrestler, Cena has made huge strides into acting, tackling profane comedies (`Blockers`, `Vacation Friends`) and family comedies (`Playing With Fire`) in equal measure, as well as adventure and action movies.
Last year he starred in both `F9: The Fast Saga` and `The Suicide Squad`, the latter a Warner`s DC movie that spun off his character, Peacemaker, into his own series for HBO Max.
