Director: Ryan Green
Cast: John Cena
What Drives You with John Cena is a 2025 American reality talk series directed by Ryan Green, in which WWE legend and Hollywood actor John Cena sits down with celebrity guests in unconventional, often active settings — from workout floors to open roads — to uncover the passions and personal stories behind their public personas.
What is What Drives You with John Cena about?
Each episode of this short-form series drops John Cena and a celebrity guest into a shared experience: lifting weights together, cruising through Nashville, revisiting memories that shaped their careers, or collaborating on music. By moving the conversation out of a traditional studio and into real-world environments, the show draws out candid, unguarded moments that a standard interview format rarely produces. Guests open up about their motivations, childhood influences, and the defining choices that set them on their path — all while doing something, rather than simply sitting and talking. The result is an intimate portrait of celebrity, stripped of the usual promotional veneer.
Cast & crew
John Cena hosts and anchors every episode, bringing the affable, self-deprecating humor he has cultivated across a professional wrestling career and a run of Hollywood comedies and action films. His physical presence in the shared activities is genuine rather than performative, which disarms guests and lowers their guard. Ryan Green directs, shaping each 24-minute episode into a tight, kinetic half-hour built around movement and conversation.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, reality formats centered on celebrity conversation have long been a staple of both Iranian and Western television culture. What Drives You lands in familiar territory — the hosted interview as a vehicle for personality — while refreshing it with an active, location-driven format that keeps the pace brisk. John Cena's global recognizability across wrestling, action cinema, and family comedy makes him a comfortable entry point regardless of cultural background. The series is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible to Farsi-first viewers without requiring any knowledge of English. Episodes run just 24 minutes, which fits naturally into a commute, a lunch break, or a casual evening session.
