Fame and fortune weren't exactly in the cards for actor and WWE superstar John Cena early on.
Finding a job in the field, however, proved harder than he'd thought, Cena told comedian Kevin Hart on Peacock talk show "Hart to Heart."
After "every avenue of fitness failed," and a last-ditch effort to become a highway patrol officer fell through, Cena was met with homelessness, sleeping in the back of his 1991 Lincoln Continental and living off free pizza from a local shop.
"They had a deal where, if you could eat their whole pizza, you got it for free," Cena said, chuckling.
It's a job Cena didn't even know was possible.
