  • Cena, who played a small role in Barbie as a merman, had his co-star Margot Robbie in stitches over the stunt he pulled at the Oscars with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel
  • The pro wrestler-turned-actor seems particularly fond of Rolexes, and has been seen in the Rolex GMT-Master II Batman and Rolex Daytona Everose

No one would have guessed that John Cena would become the most talked-about guest of the 96th Academy Awards.

The professional wrestler-turned-actor stole the spotlight on March 10 when he appeared on stage at the ceremony at Dolby Theatre clad only in Birkenstocks and a Rolex, using an oversized envelope for best costume design to maintain his modesty.

The bit, which Cena and host Jimmy Kimmel orchestrated, had stars like Margot Robbie in stitches in the audience, and it became the most viral moment of the night online.

 

It also didn’t escape anyone’s attention that Cena’s choice of attire – what little there was of it, anyway – included his trusty Rolex Explorer II. The actor, who had a small role as a merman in last year’s record-breaking blockbuster Barbie, is an emerging watch enthusiast with a select yet impressive Rolex collection.

In fact, Cena is such a big watch guy that he once quipped that he wears two watches: one for time, and one for perspective – this being a Teddy Roosevelt quote.

Here’s a closer look at what else we know about Cena’s collection of luxury watches.
