“I saw their signs that said ‘The bald John Cena,’” he told People. “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,” he continued.
Cena doesn’t regret undergoing the procedure, which he described as moving your hair, one by one, from one area to another.
“I hate the fact that if there wasn’t so much shame around it, I’d have gotten it done 10 years ago,” he said. “I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 [men] suffer from thinning or baldness.”
“If somebody’s going to sweat me for that, I don’t think there’s any shame in that,” he added. “It completely changed the course of my life.”
One way it’s helped him is with his acting career.
“A different hairstyle can identify a part that can get me more work, do the thing I love to do,” he said.
Cena reflected on aging and why he made the decision to retire from wrestling this year.
“Age plays a factor,” he acknowledged. “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.”
In April, Cena told fans he got a “surgical procedure” due to bullying.
“You chant and you make me feel small and you embarrass me,” the “Trainwreck” actor said on “The Pat McAfee Show” during the WWE World fan experience in Las Vegas.
“Y’all don’t know what that’s like,” Cena continued. “That is straight-up bullying. That’s just not cool. I don’t like it. So, thank you for bullying me into getting surgical hair replacement. That’s how far y’all push me.”
